use volatile liquids such as thinner.
5-2. Uniformly spray a thin coating of paint over the grille
and Trim Piece changing the spraying positions
gradually.
Notes
• Do not use a roller or brush to paint because the
meshes of the grille could be clogged with paint.
• Use paint that is appropriate for the composition of
the grille and Trim Piece.

7. Attach the grille to the speaker with its two mounting
screws.
8. Reattach the mounting bracket to the speaker with the
angle adjustment screw.
7. PROTECTION CIRCUITRY INFORMATION
• The speaker has built-in overload protection circuitry.
If there is an extremely high level input signal to the speaker, the overload protection circuitry is activated
and cuts off the signal input to the speaker component.
• A sudden drop of the sound volume level during speaker operation indicates that the overload protection
circuitry has been activated. In such a case, reduce the amplifier volume and wait. The protection circuitry is
automatically reset after approximately 10 seconds. After the circuitry is reset, set the volume at a lower
level than before.
Important Note
This overload protection circuitry does not completely protect the speaker component. Depending on the
nature of the excessive signal applied to the loudspeaker, there may be damage to the loudspeaker
components before the protection circuitry can operate. Also, depending on the duration of the excessive input
signal, the protection circuitry may be damaged and will not recover. Take special care that the excessive
input is not applied to the speaker during use.
8. EQUALIZATION
• The H-1 is designed to provide good quality sound without additional equalization. However, by equalizing it
as shown below, sounds can be made more powerful and intelligible.
• Using a digital signal processor, make the following equalization setting.
