Installation - LX4-2. 1 System For optimal performance of the LX4-2. 1, please read the following thoroughly and carefully prior to installation. Precautions Handling: Please do not touch the speaker cones. The LX4-2. 1 speaker set is packaged in the box tightly, so your attention is required when taking the monitors out of the box. To avoid possible damage to the speaker units, hold both sides of the monitor in order to pull it out of the box. The speaker cones should not be touched in order to avoid damage even after they are out of the box. Connections: Using the included Speaker Wires, connect the Left and Right Speaker inputs to the corresponding speaker terminals on the rear panel of the subwoofer. Then, connect the TRS balanced/unbalanced inputs of the LX4 subwoofer unit to the desired corresponding pre-amp, computer or game console outputs (see the following diagrams). We recommend that you use high-quality balanced or unbalanced cables for these input connections. Also, turn off the power of the LX4 and turn the volume of the LX4 down to a minimum before making the necessary connections. Correct Power Operation: Since the LX4-2. 1 System contains amplifiers, it must be connected to a power outlet using the detachable AC cable provided. Before connecting power, please make sure that the Voltage-Select Switch located on the speaker's rear panel is set to the appropriate position, as described in the rear-panel features list appearing earlier in this manual. WARNING!- Use of improper Voltage-Select Switch combinations may result in hazardous conditions and/or damage to speaker components not covered by speaker warranty. 6 Speaker Wire Connections Use speaker wires included in LX5-2. 1 package to connect the Left and Right Speaker output terminals, found on the Subwoofer's rear panel, to the Left and Right Speakers. TRS Balanced/Unbalanced Connections Assure that the LX4's power switch is turned to the off position and that it's Master Volume is turned all the way down. Connect the male end of a TRS balanced or TS unbalanced cable to the TRS inputs on the Sub-woofer's rear panel. 7 Connecting to Preamp, Computer or Game Console Outputs Before connecting, make sure the output device's power has been turned off. To monitor with the LX4s performing to their maximum capability, an appropriate listening environment and correct placement are required.
