TWEETERS

WARNING: Do not operate the tweeters without crossover networks.
Damage to the tweeter from therm a l
overload will result without the pro t e ction provided by a crossover and will
void your warr a n t y.
The Polk Audio Signature Reference
tweeter, in component setup, offers
two mounting options for installation
flexibility. (See Figure 6)
NOTE: If you choose to operate the
system with an active crossover, the
c rossover frequency for the tweeter
must be greater than or equal to 3.5kHz
with a minimum 3rd order (18dB/octave)
slope. Please note that the tweeter
could be damaged at excessive listening levels. For the best tweeter pro t e ction, use the crossovers supplied with
the systems.

T W EE T ER LE VE L

The jumper levels inside the crossover box
adjusts the level (volume) of the tweeter
relative to the mid/woofer. Start with the
jumper in the “0dB” position and listen.
If you want a “brighter” sound, move to
the left position, “+1dB,” and listen again.
The “+1 dB” setting provides the gre a t e s t
amount of tweeter output. -1.5dB and
-3dB reduce output to a greater degree.
(See Figure 10)
POL AR I T Y /
BLENDING

If it seems that the tweeters and drivers are
not “blending” seamlessly, change the polarity of both tweeters by reversing the positive
(+) and negative (-) tweeter wires at the
crossover. Reversing the phase of the tweeters will usually optimize the blending of the
system components when the tweeters and
drivers are located far apart from each other.

REQUIREMENTS

Your speakers will work well with a variety
of electronic components. As little as 25
Watts (RMS) per channel will deliver adequate listening levels in most cars. If you
intend to play your system at loud listening
levels, more power is necessary to achieve
the best perf o rmance. Consult your Polk
Audio Dealer for specific recommendations.
We recommend using an external power
amplifier that has a power rating of 50 - 150
Watts per channel to get the best possible
performance.

Continuous Power Handling

Your Polk Audio loudspeakers are made with
the highest quality materials for years of
t ro u b l e - f ree perf o rmance. However, damage
to loudspeakers can occur when an amplifier,
re g a rdless of its wattage, is made to play at
higher listening levels than its power can
cleanly produce (usually beyond the “1 to 2
o’clock” position on the volume contro l ) .
This results in very high levels of audible distortion, originating in the amplifier, which
adds a harsh, gritty sound to the music.
Contrary to popular belief, a speaker is more
likely to be damaged by trying to get too
much volume from a low-powered amplifier
than from a high-powered one.

Angle Mount Installation Note:
Signature Reference tweeters may be swiveled to get the best high frequency
response and soundstage. Generally, pointing the tweeters toward the listening position will yield the best results. Use the position that sounds best
to you. Swivel the tweeter module by applying pre s s u re on the edge of
the tweeter module. DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE TO THE DOME ITSELF.
