O

PERATION

Because your Scripts use an internal power supply to ener-

gize their electrostatic cells with high-voltage DC, they must

be connected to an AC power source. For this reason they

are provided with the proper IEC standard power cords.

These cords should be firmly inserted into the AC power

receptacles on the rear connection panel of the speakers,

then to any convenient AC wall outlet. The Stript’s integrate

a signal sensing power supply which will switch off after a

few minutes of no music signal, and requires less than two

seconds to recharge the panels when a music signal is present.

Your Scripts are wired for the power service supplied in

the country of original consumer sale. The AC power rat-

ing applicable to a particular unit is specified both on the

packing carton and on the serial number plate attached to

the speaker.

If you remove your Scripts from the country of original

sale, be certain that AC power supplied in any subsequent

location is suitable before connecting and operating the

speakers. Substantially impaired performance or severe

damage may occur to an Script speaker if operation is

attempted from an incorrect AC power source.

WARNING! The power cord should not be installed,

removed, or left detached from the speaker while

the other end is connected to an AC power source.

Signal Connection

Use the best speaker cables you can. The length and type of

speaker cable used in your system will have an audible

effect. Under no circumstance should a wire of gauge higher

(thinner) than #16 be used. In general, the longer the length

used, the greater the necessity of a lower gauge, and the

lower the gauge, the better the sound, with diminishing

returns setting in around #8 to #12. 

A variety of speaker cables are now available whose 

manufacturers claim better performance over standard heavy

gauge wire. We have verified this in many cases, and the

improvements available are often more noticeable than the

differences between wires of different gauge. The effects of

cables may be masked if the equipment is not the highest quality.

We also recommend, if possible, that short runs of speaker

cable connect the power amplifier(s) and speakers and that

high quality long interconnect cables be used to connect

the preamplifier and power amplifier. This results in the

power amplifiers being close to the speakers, which may

be practically or cosmetically difficult, but if the length of

the speaker cables can be reduced to a few meters, sonic

advantages may be obtained. 

Connections are done at the Signal Input section on the

rear electronics panel of the Script. Use spade connectors

for optimum contact and ease of installation. Make certain

that all of your connections are tight. Be consistent when

connecting the speaker cables to the Signal Input terminals.

Take care to assign the same color cable lead to the (+) ter-

minal on both the left and right channel speakers. If bass is

nonexistent and you cannot discern a tight, coherent image,

you may need to reverse the (+) and (-) leads on one speaker

to bring the system into proper polarity. (See figure 1)

WARNING! Turn your amplifier off before making

or breaking any signal connections!

Break-In

When you first begin to play your Script speakers, they will

sound a bit bass shy. This is due to the high-quality, long-life

components used in our woofer. Our custom made, butyl

surround woofer requires 30 hours of break-in at 90 dB

(moderate listening levels) before any critical listening. The

break-in requirements of the crossover components (and, to

a lesser degree, the stator) are equivalent.
