INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the world's finest loudspeaker
system, the ACOUSTAT full-range element electrostatic with Magne-
Kineticlnterface". If you will take just a few minutes to review the assembly
and set-up instructions provided with your new speakers, you can be
assured of many years of listening enjoyment as the systems full potential
is realized.

PLEASE NOTE: THE SYSTEM WILL REQUIRE SEVERAL HOURS OF
INITIAL PANEL CHARGE-UP AND PLAYING TIME TO
REACH FULL EFFICIENCY,

We have determined that many systems fall to function at their full
potential because of deficiencies in the Initial set-up. Therefore, a section
has been included outlining the preferred procedure for the placement
and connection of a newly installed system.

The acoustics oi the room will play a major role in the ultimate
performance of the speaker system, and we have found that it Is far more
rewarding in terms of the quality of the results obtained to tune the
speakers to the room than to add line equalization. A reasonably absorb-
ent and unobstructed wall should be directly behind the speakers. and
any required tuning of the roomcan normally be accomplished with slight
changes in the placement of drapes or other wall hangings.

ASSEMBLY

1) Lay the speaker face down on the carpet, CAREFULLY! DO NOT
allow the speakerto fall tothe ground. SLOWLY Iaylt down. Dropping
the speaker face down may rupture the diaphragm with trapped air.

2) Remove two of the screw-in feet provided from the hardware packet.
Screw these into the threaded holes on the bottom of the speakers
base. For now, screw them all the way in. Some adjustment may be
needed later for the speaker to sit squarely and have the correct
amount of tiltbacK

3) Set the interface on the floor at the base of the speaker, with the
opening facing forward toward the speaker. (As in Figure 1.)

4) Note the three groups of wires coming through the rubber grommet
on the back of the speakers base. Visually identify them as: the RED
group, with a pin plug ontheend; the BLUE group, wltha blue-sleeved
hook on the end; and, the WHITE group, With a plain hook on the end.
