A short between the positive and the negative terminals may
damage the amp being used.

中面Features
When playing back music on an audio device, there is generally
always counter-electromotive force in the voice coil of the speaker
unit, due to changes in amp output over time. This counterelectromotive force returns to the amp via the speaker cord, making it
difficult to drive the speaker in accordance with the input signal. This
unit absorbs counter-electromotive force, reducing fluctuations inspeaker impedance, particularly in the low ranges. This makes it
possible to drive the speaker more faithfully, improving speaker
resolution and star tup, and also reproduces opposing naturalresonances, delivering realistic sound and rich musicality.
* The effects will differ depending on your speaker system and the amp usedwith it.

Connection
Connect the unit to your speaker system using speaker cords, as
shown in the figure below.
(1) Always turn off the amp's power before connection.
(2) Connect a speaker cord to the unit's connection terminals. The redconnection terminal is positive polarity (+), and the black one is
negative (-).
(3) Connect the speaker cords from the unit and the amp to thespeaker system's input terminals. Be careful of the polarity.
(4) After connecting the cords, make sure that the speaker cord issecurely connected to each terminal.

■Speaker systems with bi-wiring terminals
For both a single-wire connection and bi-wiring connection, connect
the unit to your speaker system's low range input terminals. See
steps (1) to (4) for instructions on how to connect the unit.
■Installing the unit
Install the unit nearby your speaker system, and use the shortest
speaker cords possible. If the speaker cords are too long, it could
prevent the full functionality of the unit from being harnessed.

Care and Maintenance
The surface of the unit is finished with urethane coating.
If the unit becomes very dirty, soak a soft cloth in a mixture of 5 or 6 parts
water to 1 part neutral detergent, and after wringing well, wipe clean, andthen wipe with a dry cloth. Note that contact with alcohol, thinner, benzene,
insecticide, or similar substances could damage the surface. When usingchemically treated cloths or the like, be sure to read the cautions carefully.
