1 General Information

1.1 Unpacking and Inventory
Please remove the entire system from the cartons and make sure you have
received all its component parts. POLAR comes in two cartons and consists
of a subwoofer, a columnar mid/high unit and a spacer. The shipping box for
the subwoofer also contains a padded protective cover for the bass bin, a
gig bag for the two columnar elements, and the mains power cord.
1.2 The Components
The Subwoofer
The powered subwoofer houses the bass woofer, the system's electronic
components and the power amplifi ers. On the top panel is a signal-carrying,
plug-in port serving to connect the column's elements and a carrying
handle. Another handy grip routed into the front of the bottom panel
lets you comfortably carry the subwoofer with one or two hands. The
integrated control panel with the display, control features and connectors
slopes slightly toward the rear to protect the
controls against damage. The bass refl ex
ports are located at the bottom of the front
panel. The power off /on switch and mains
socket are on the rear panel.
The Column
• The column consists of a mid/high unit and
a spacer.
• The spacer plugs into a signal-carrying
socket/coupler on the subwoofer. The mid/
high unit plugs into the spacer using the
same type of connector.
• This coupler provides a mechanical and
electrical connection between the mid/high
unit and spacer, so you do not need speaker
cables to connect the two.

1.3 Setting up the System

Connecting Components
• Place the subwoofer on a level, stable surface.
• Connect the spacer and the mid/high unit to the subwoofer as described
in section 1.2 above.
• Make sure the components are fi rmly seated and connected to one
another.
• Plug the power cord into the rear mains power socket.
