7.1  CABINET FINISH

To remove marks and scuffs use a soft brush, avoiding the moving parts of the Dual Concentric™ and superTweeter™

7.2  DRIVER REMOVAL

Lay the cabinet on its back. Remove the front mounted port tubes which are a friction fit in the cabinet. Remove the front 

trim panel using a suitable plastic tool starting aound the port tube holes. Remove the ten hexagonal screws holding 

down the Dual Concentric™ driver and set aside. ease the Dual Concentric™ driver from the front of the cabinet taking 

care not to damage the front surface. remove the driver, note the polarity of the internal connections and disconnect 

the internal wiring from both the lF and HF parts of the Dual Concentric™. Take care not to damage the moving parts of 

the LF driver. To refit the driver, connect the cables from the crossover to the LF and HF terminals. Fit the driver into the 

mounting hole, making sure that the internal connecting cables are not trapped or able to touch the lF cone. Fasten the 

screws finger tight and then progressively tighten them down with the appropriate Allen key. Refit the front trim and 

port tubes.

To remove the supertweeter™ housing remove the Dual Concentric™ driver as above. working inside the cabinet 

remove the fixing nut to release the SuperTweeter™ housing and disconnect the cable. Dismantle the housing to release 

the SuperTweeter™ capsule which must be replaced completely if faulty. Refit all parts in reverse order ensuring cables 

are correctly connected and cannot interfere with moving parts. some or all of the acoustic absorbent may have to be 

removed for access during the dismantling process. replace each piece in its original position

7.3  CROSSOVER

The crossover is mounted on the rear of the terminal panel. To inspect it, remove the panel by releasing the hexagonal 

screws. Take care to avoid undue stress on the cables and components. it is most unlikely that any of the crossover 

components will fail during the life of the loudspeaker system.

To remove the crossover completely the cables must be disconnected from the drive units. please proceed as above to 

remove the Dual Concentric™ drive unit and superTweeter™ Housing.
