DO NOT REMOVE THE SPECIAL ACOUSTIC FOAM ATTACHED

TO THE FRONT BAFFLE AND/OR GRILLE OF YOUR SPEAKERS.

This foam is a critical part of your loudspeaker system and plays an important role

in its high level of performance.  It focuses the radiation of the tweeters, minimizes

cabinet diffraction, and provides the flattest possible frequency response.
