Unpacking and Assembly Instruction Manual Unpacking the Speakers Use care when unpacking the speakers. Since the grilles are packed off the speakers, be particularly careful of the driver elements as you unpack and move the speakers. Remember to keep the original boxes and packing material, in the unlikely event the speakers need servicing, or if you move. Attaching the Grilles The included metal grilles are held to the front of the enclosures with powerful neodymium magnets.
AT-2 High Performance Loudspeaker with H-PAS™ Technology Placement Speaker/room interactions have a huge impact on the sound of the system.

Connecting Your Speakers AT-2 High Performance Loudspeaker with H-PAS™ Technology High Frequency Energy Control Caring for your Speakers This control changes the relative output level of the tweeter. It has been designed to help compensate for different room acoustics and personal listening preferences. The “0” position is the most “accurate” frequency response, but that does not mean that it is necessarily the “recommended” position. Clean your cabinets using a soft, lint-free cloth.
