Unpacking Instructions

 

 

Caution: 
 
The titanium dome on this SuperTweeter is very delicate. Although protected by 
a metal mesh, take care to avoid pressing on this during unpacking and 
installation, in case damage results. 

 
Each flight case contains the following: 
 

 

SuperTweeter units x 2 

 

Performance Platform x 2 

 

Adapter plugs x 4 

 

Adjustment screws x 4 

 

Felt mat x 2 

 

Alignment gauge x 1 

 
Always keep the packaging for future use. 
 
 

Environmental considerations

 

 
Do 

not

 install the SuperTweeter in the following conditions: 

 

 

Very warm or humid areas (such as near swimming pools, kitchens or 
bathrooms). 

 

Near to a fire or heating appliance. 

 

In direct sunlight. 

 
 
Wiring

 

 
The SuperTweeter should be connected across your main speakers, positive (red) to 
positive and negative (black) to negative. If appropriate, remove the two plastic 
blanking plugs in the terminals. Ensure your amplifier is switched off, and the volume 
control turned fully down before beginning. Typical wiring configurations are shown 
in Fig. 1: 
 

A.

 

Typical single-wired installation. The SuperTweeter is simply connected 
across your speaker terminals. On optional earth cable can be taken back 
to your amplifier chassis or ground. 

B.

 

Bi-wiring installation. The SuperTweeter is connected across the HF 
terminals on your loudspeaker. Again, an earth cable may be taken back to 
your amplifier, or to the earth terminal on Prestige HE models (shown). 

C.

 

Where appropriate, when using 4mm plugs for your connections, use the 
supplied adapter plug as shown. 

 
For optimum performance, the central earth connection on the SuperTweeter should 
be taken back to the amplifier chassis or ground point. This screening effect can give 
an improvement in detail and clarity, depending on the amplifier used, by reducing 
radio frequency interference. 
 
It is important to use a high quality cable between the SuperTweeter and the main 
loudspeakers. For optimum results, our high purity silver SuperLinks are 
recommended, which are electrically screened and provide an integral earth wire.
