Minimus-7 Metal Cabinet Speaker System Your Minimus-7s use the latest mini­speaker technology to produce sound quality comparable to larger bookshelf and floor speakers. They are small only in size, not sound! A high-compli­ance woofer element provides out­standing bass, while the dome tweeter produces crisp, clean highs. Careful acoustic design matches the two dy­namic elements with the enclosure and damping materials, resulting in amaz­ingly smooth and broad frequency re­sponse. Your Minimus-7s can handle

1 to 40 watts of power.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Location and positioning are vital for best performance of your Minimus-7s. The ideal location is on a table or shelf positioned near a corner or a room. For many modern room settings, a decorator shelf attached to a wooden wall (or other acoustically hard sur­face) greatly reinforces the sound quality. If possible, place the front edge of the Minimus-7s flush with the front edge of the shelf. For best sound, avoid floor locations. (Floor coverings can absorb much sound.)

We urge you to play a familiar, wide­range recording and experiment with speaker placement until you find the speaker locations that results in the best sound for your needs.

0 Distance Between Speakers for Stereo Effect

Stereo speaker placement can be a lit­tle tricky. For the best stereo image, the d istance between the speakers should be about the same as the dis­tance from the main listening area to a point half way between the speakers. If the distance between the speakers is too large, you might hear a hole in the center of the sound. You can com­pensate for this by angling the speak­ers slightly toward the listening area.

CONNECTIONS

With the speakers placed in their ap­proximate locations, measure the distance from each speaker to the am­plifier. Use speaker wire or ordinary 18-gauge lamp cord (zip cord) for dis­tances of 25 feet or less. For distance greater than 25 feet, use heavier 16-gauge wire.

Speaker wire coded with a ridge or stripe on one side makes the connec­tion process easier. Radio Shack sells speaker wire to meet most needs.

2

1. Remove the insulation from the ends of the wire using a wire strip­per.

2. Push the tab on the left speaker's negative (-) terminal and insert one of the wire ends. Release the tab.

3. Push the tab on the left speaker's positive ( +) terminal and insert the other wire end. Release the tab. Repeat this connection process for the right speaker.

Using the ridge or the stripe on the speaker wire as a guide, connect each speaker's negative (-) terminal to the amplifier's corresponding negative ter­minal (right or left). Then, connect each speaker's positive ( +) terminal to the amplifier's corresponding positive ( + ) terminal.

This connection procedure is called phasing. Keeping your speakers in proper phase is essential for maximum bass response and overall perform­ance.

USING RUBBER FEET

Self-adhesive rubber feet are provided to avoid scratching your furniture. Remove the paper backing and press the feet on the bot-

speaker.

There are two types of rubber feet. Use the thicker ones for front position (A)

( nd thinner ones for rear position (B).

MOUNTING THE MINIMUS-7

Using a screw, you can mount the speaker directly on a wall . Use a #1 0 or larger screw.

/r~ You can mount the Minimus-7 in ave­hicle, on a wall, under a shelf, or on a ceiling, using a special bracket (Cat.No. 40-2031). Follow the instruc­t ions provided with the bracket.

MAINTENANCE

Your Minimus-7 is an example of su­perior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for the Minimus-7 so that you can enjoy it for years.

eKeep the Minimus-7 dry. If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain minerals that can cor­rode the electronic circuits.

•Handle the Minimus-7 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the product to work im­properly.

•Use and store the Minimus-7 only in normal temperature environments. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

eKeep the Minimus-7 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.

•Wipe the Minimus-7 with a damp­ened cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the Mini­mus-7.

Modifying or tampering with the Mini­mus-7's internal components can cause a malfunction and might invali­date the Minimus-7's warranty. If your Minimus-7 is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store. Our personnel can assist you and arrange for service if needed.
