introduction

Congratulations, and thank you for purchasing an a/d/s/ Home Theatre in-wall speaker system. The HT-
series offer the perfect combination of style and performance to meet the most exacting audio and
interior design standards. The proprietary driver design and computer-optimized crossover networks result
in a smooth, flat frequency response, which in turn yields exceptional imaging and superb transient
impact. The bass response and acoustic output capabilities of your HT series speakers are remarkable for
units of such compact dimension. a/d/s/ Home Theatre speakers are the ultimate match for your
discerning taste and lifestyle.

Be sure to save your sales receipt. It is your best record of the date of purchase, which is required for
warranty service.

Read and follow all cautions, warnings and notes.

cautions

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove any parts of the speaker. There are no user serviceable
parts inside. If service is required have it performed by a qualified service professional.

WARNING

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the speakers to rain or submerge in water. The speakers
should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other heat sources.

Be sure all the components in the system are turned off while making audio and power connections.

features

tweeter

The HT series incorporates the use of a 1” copolymer dome tweeter with a Ferrofluid™ damped voice coil.

tweeter protection

A solid state device reduces power to the tweeter when the loudspeaker is operated at unsafe power
levels. It resets automatically when power is reduced to a safe level. Note: the tweeter protector provides
a significant level of protection. However it does not guarantee that the tweeter cannot be damaged.
Always be careful when operating the speakers at a high volume level.
