Thank you for purchasing this product.
Please read these instructions carefully before using this product, and save this manual for future use.
The cabinets of this product were hand-carved by woodworkers. A s a result, the left and right speakers may slightly differ from 
each other in shape.
Safety precautions
≥ Put the speakers on a flat safe surface.
≥ Do not hang the speakers from the ceiling or on the wall. Doing  so 
may cause the speaker to fall off, causing personal injury.
≥ Do not place any objects in the bass reflex ports on the rear o f the 
speakers. Doing so may cause fire or personal injury. Pay close  
attention to children.
≥ Do not repair the speakers by yourself. Refer servicing to qual ified 
service personnel.
≥ Do not stand on the speakers.
≥ Do not place heavy items on the speakers.
≥ Do not hold the speaker in one hand to avoid injury by dropping  
the speaker when carrying.
≥ Do not expose the speakers to dir ect sunlight, high temperatures, 
high humidity, and excessive vibration. ≥
Do not expose the speakers to rain, moisture, dripping or splas
hing.≥The speakers and speaker nets use powerful magnets. Do not put 
them near TVs, PCs or other equi pment easily influenced by 
magnetism.
≥ You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if y ou 
play sound at high levels over extended periods.
≥ Do not touch the diaphragms. Doing so might cause distortion.
≥ Be cautious when children are near.
≥ Do not insert a finger into the bass reflex ports on the rear o f the 
speakers. Pay close attention to children as doing so may cause  
personal injury.
≥ Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (
13/32z) away from the system 
for proper ventilation.
≥ Do not connect the speakers to an amplifier with an output grea ter 
than their allowable input.
Doing so may overheat the speakers and cause a fire.

1Flat coaxial 2-way speaker unit *1
The newly developed flat coaxial two-way speaker units (woofer  and tweeter) realise a point sound source. Technics's 
original flat woofer diaphragm provides smooth directional char acteristics over the entire frequency range without peaks 
and dips, achieving superb sound localisation and a large sound stage.
*1 Since the flat diaphragm is woven with carbon fibre, its flat  panel component has a fine waffle texture. 
Please note that this does not affect the performance and other  characteristics of the speakers.
2Dome tweeter that can reproduce frequencies of up to 100 kHz
The lightweight aluminium diaphragm allows the reproduction of sound over an ultra-wide frequency range that extends 
up to 100 kHz. The result is a faithful reproduction of audio signals with all nuances intact.
3High rigidity entasis form cabinet
Designed to eliminate unwanted vibration, diffraction reflectio n, and standing waves, the cabinet allows the reproduction 
of faithful and rich sound ambience.

Installation
≥Place the speakers at approximately the same distance from the  listening position. 
≥ The speakers produce bass sound from the bass reflex ports on t he rear as well as from the front. Install the speakers at least 
5cm (2 z) away from the walls so that they do not cover the bass reflex ports on the rear. 
≥ When placing the speakers on stands, be sure to consult an inst allation specialist to protect the speakers from earthquakes.
≥ Keep the amplifier or any other device and the speakers at leas t 1 cm (
13/32z) away from each other.
∫For optimum position
The quality and volume of the bass sound, sound localisation pe rformance, sound ambience, and other factors that determine the  
audio quality vary depending on the installation location of th is unit, listening position, room conditions, and other factors. Refer to 
the information below when installing the speakers.
Determining an installation location.
≥ Put the speakers on a flat safe surface.
≥ To minimise the gap in audio quality between the left and right  speakers, install them so that acoustic conditions (reflection and 
absorption of sound) around them are the same.
≥ Depending on the way the speakers are placed, the speaker cable s may not be long enough. In such a case, use desired 
cables that are sufficiently long and deliver high quality audio.
Adjusting the distances between the rear of the speakers and th e walls
If you install the speakers close to a wall or in a corner, the  bass sound will be more powerful; however, when the speakers a re 
too close to it, sound localisation performance and sound ambie nce may deteriorate. If this occurs, adjust the distance between 
the speakers and the front wall, which should be between 30 cm ( 12z) to 60 cm (24 z). (Please note that the distance between the 
speakers and the side walls should be greater than 60 cm (24 z).)
60°
e.g.,
The angle is approximate.

Connections
	≥Do not place the speakers with the front side down. Doing so may damage the speakers.
≥ Be careful not to cross (short-circuit) or reverse the polarity  of the speaker wires as doing so may damage the amplifier.
≥ Check the colors of the speaker  cables (supplied) to connect the left and right speakers correctly. Incorrect connection can d amage the 
speakers.
Connecting the speaker cables
≥ Keep the terminal knobs and the terminal caps out of reach of c hildren to prevent swallowing.

of the speaker cables to pull them 
out.
2 Turn the knobs to loosen them, and 
insert the core wires into the holes. 3

≥Before connection, turn off the amplifier and disconnect its po wer cord.
≥ For details, refer to the operating instructions of the amplifi er.
	
≥Do not move the speaker while t he speaker cables are connected.  This may cause a short circuit.
≥ When the connections are completed, pull the speaker cables lig htly to check that they are connected firmly. 
≥ Wire the polarity (+/-) of the terminals correctly. Not doing s o may adversely affect stereo effects or cause malfunction.

Attaching the speaker nets
The speakers are supplied with speaker nets, which protect the speaker units from dust. Use the magnets to fix the speaker nets 
to the speakers.
≥ Attach each speaker net so that the upper part of its back indi cated as [Upper] is attached to the upper part of each speaker.
≥ Instruction labels are attached to the upper part of each speak er net. Remove them before use.
	
≥You can enjoy superior quality audio by removing the speaker ne ts before playback.
≥Attach the speaker nets so that 
they fully cover the speaker 
units.≥Attaching the speaker nets 
upside down may cause the 
sound quality to deteriorate.

Notes on use
To protect the speakers from damage caused by excessive input, observe the following precautions:
≥ Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage:
j When playing distorted sound.
j When the speakers are receiving howling from a microphone or re cord player, noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous 
signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument .
j When adjusting the sound quality.
j When turning the amplifier on or off.
≥Avoid raising the volume level too much when enhancing the treb le sound with a graphic equalizer or any other controls.
≥Avoid outputting excessively loud sound with a small power amplifier. Doing so will increase the amplifer’s harmonic distortio n 
and may damage the speakers.
≥ You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play sound at high levels over extended periods.
Unit care
Clean the speakers with a soft, dry cloth.
≥When dirt is heavy, wring a wet cloth tightly to wipe the dirt,  and then wipe it with a dry cloth.
≥ Do not use solvents including benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitche n detergent, a chemical wiper, etc. This might cause the exteri or 
case to be deformed or the coating to come off.
