THE MOTIVE SX1 LOUDSPEAKER
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Congratulations on choosing the Neat Motive SX1 loudspeakers. Used correctly, they will provide a lifetime of
eautiful music. Please read the following notes in order to get the est from them.
RUNNING IN
A 'running in' perio of at least 200 hours is necessary to stabilise performance. After this perio , a further
gra ual improvement will occur over a perio of several weeks.
THE MOTIVE SX1 LOUDSPEAKER IS SUPPLIED FULLY ASSEMBLED. BEWARE OF SPIKES!
FIRST
1) Unpack and place loudspeaker in the appropriate listening position. (see "positioning" elow)
2) Level y adjusting the spikes, then tighten locking rings firmly y hand.
CONNECTION
The Motive SX1 can take 4mm anana plugs, spade connectors or are wire. Ensure a tight fit for anana plugs. For
are wire or spade connections, ensure that the inding post outer part is screwed down tight.
Take care to ensure correct phasing (i.e. red and lack connections maintained at amplifier and speaker).
POSITIONING
Important note: Best listening results will be obtained without the grilles!
Due to huge variations in the acoustic properties of different rooms, there are few hard and fast rules governing
loudspeaker positioning so experimentation is recommended. Generally, ass output increases as distance from the
rear wall, or side wall, decreases. Stereo depth improves as the speaker is rought away from room oundaries.
Start with the Motive SX1 at approx. 20cm from the rear walls, with at least 50cm from side walls, and make
incremental moves in different directions, noting the changes, until an optimal position is reached. Remem er that
sometimes very small movements of the loudspeaker can ring a out huge differences in performance.
MAINTENANCE
The Motive SX1 has no user-replacea le parts and requires no maintenance.
To clean the ca inet, rush lightly with a dry sponge. The ass/midrange cone can e cleaned y GENTLY using a
soft, very lightly damp cloth. Do not touch the tweeter diaphragm. Should a fault condition arise, consult your dealer.

The Motive SX1 is guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of five years.
