the speaker surrounds. While this is a rather dramatic display of the protection
circuit, it should not be done intentionally (find a better way to impress the
drummer!) as excess amounts of current will cause the bulb to act like a fuse and
fail, requiring replacement before the tweeter will function. Replacement bulbs
are available from our factory. In an emergency, an automobile dome light bulb
can be used to restore the system. To replace the bulb, simply remove the
screws that secure the connection plate to the back of the cabinet. Gently pull
the plate out and replace the bulb in its connection clips. If you prefer to operate
your system with the tweeter disabled, simply remove the bulb.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
We recommend that you use your Eden cabinet at low to moderate volume levels
for approximately two hours before using it in a high volume situation. This will
allow the voice coils to “seat” themselves.
CONNECTIONS WITH ADDITIONAL CABINETS
It is important to keep two issues in mind when connecting your Eden cabinet
with other cabinets: phase relationships and impedance. Proper parallel
connections require the positive and negative speaker terminals to maintain their
relationships throughout the system. This means that the positive connection on
one cabinet must connect to the positive connection on additional cabinets. The
negative connections should be made in a similar manner. Unless you have
defective cables,

Impedance is a measure of the load your speaker system places on your
amplifier. Too great a load (indicated by a lower impedance figure) can damage
