•  Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods.

   Please see the Safety Instructions on page 2 for
    information on hearing protection.

•  When you shut down your equipment, turn off the

       amplifiers first to prevent thumps and other    
    noises generated by any upstream equipment
     from coming out of the speakers. When powering  
     up, turn on the amplifiers last.

•  Save the shipping boxes and packing materials!

    You may need them someday. Besides, your    
    cat will love playing in them and jumping out at  
    you unexpectedly. Remember to pretend like you  
   are surprised!

•  Save your sales receipt in a safe place.

•  Record the serial numbers in the spaces provided

     on page 2, along with where and when you bought  
     them.

The following steps will help you set up your 

loudspeakers quickly.

1.   Make all initial connections with the power switches 

OFF on all equipment. Make sure the master
volume, level, or gain controls are all the way down.

2.  Connect the line-level outputs from your mixing 

console (or other signal source) to the inputs of 
your power amplifier.

3.   Connect the “Speaker Output” from your power 

amplifier (or powered mixer) to the INPUT
connector on the S500 Series speaker (1/4" or  
NL4 jack).

4.  If you are using the S518S subwoofer with one of the

full-range loudspeakers, connect the 1/4" or NL4
THRU to the subwoofer’s input.

5.   Turn on your mixing console (or other signal 

source).

6.  Turn on the amplifier. Turn up its volume or gain 

control(s) as recommended by the manufacturer.

7.   Start the signal source, whether it be speaking 

into a microphone or starting a CD player. Adjust 
the volume controls on the mixer (or other signal 
source) for normal operation.
