3. COMPLY WITH ALL WARNINGS – All warnings and instructions for this product should be adhered to.
4. USE WITH AMPLIFIERS – In order to avoid damage to drivers and other equipment, it is advisable to
establish and follow a routine for powering up and powering down a sound system. With all system
components connected, turn on source equipment (mixers, signal processors, record and playback
units, etc.) BEFORE powering up amplifiers. Transient voltages from powering up source equipment
can damage speakers if amplifiers are already turned on. Make sure that amplifier volumes are
set to their minimum settings and power up any system amplifiers LAST. It is recommended that
all system components be allowed to stabilize for several seconds before any source signals are
introduced or level setting adjustments are made. Similarly, when shutting systems down, turn all
amplifiers off first, before powering down any other system components.
5. CABLES – Do not use shielded or microphone cables for connection between amplifiers and speakers.
Use only approved speaker cables with proper connectors.

The uniform dispersion of the Programme Series makes it easy to place the speakers where
you need them, rather than trying to rearrange the room to accommodate the sound
system. For the best coverage and highest quality sound, the speakers should be located
above head. A set of wall mounting brackets is included with each pair of speakers to make
installation easy and safe.
The Programme Series are an excellent sound reinforcement or background music speaker
and can be oriented in a vertical or horizontal position. All models have been designed
for tabletop or bookshelf installation or, with the use of the included brackets they can be
mounted on the wall or ceiling.
Don’t worry about big rooms or rooms with hard to reach seats. The Programme “T” Series
speakers have a transformer to allow the use of many more speakers than you would
normally use. Use of the transformer is highlighted in the Connections/ Wiring Section.
Because the Programme subwoofer has crossovers built-in, you don’t have to invest too
much money to assemble a great sounding, foreground or background music system. The
full range Programme Series speakers come with mounting brackets, and to keep the sub
out of sight, you may use the mounting bracket that is included with the Sub.
The Programme Sub is an excellent low frequency speaker and can be placed anywhere
in the room,mounted in the ceiling or on the wall. Heavy-duty rigging hardware makes
installation easy and safe (see safety instructions at the beginning of this manual).

CONNECTIONS/WIRING
Wiring and setting up your Programme Series is as easy as plugging in a household
appliance. You simply run your speaker cables from your amplifier to one of the parallel
spring style input connectors or on the Programme Series input panel.
The Programme Series accept stripped bare end cables and SpeakOn™ connectors
(108/206/406). Attach the speaker cable securely to your Programme Series unit and power
amplifier (the amplifier should be off). Use the correct gauge of speaker cable according to
the power handling ability of your Programme Series cabinet. Use stranded insulated cable
for speaker runs. It is always advisable to use heavier gauge (lower number) cables on
longer runs.
Be sure to connect your speakers in proper polarity (what many refer to erroneously, as
phase). This means that in normal operation; connect one end of the same wire to the Red
terminal on the amplifier and the other end to the 8Ω (+) connector on the speaker. Black is
always the ground or common and should be connected to the 8Ω (-).
