FAQs
Can I use these speakers for a home theater system?
Yes, the Stage 240B speakers work exceptionally well as front or surround speakers in a home theater setup.
Do these speakers come with cables?
No, standard speaker wire is not included and must be purchased separately.
Are these speakers powered or passive?
These are passive speakers and require an external amplifier or receiver to function.
What is the recommended power for these speakers?
While power handling varies by receiver, they are designed to perform well with most standard integrated home audio amplifiers.
Can I mount these on a wall?
While they are bookshelf-style, you may use compatible third-party wall-mount brackets provided they are rated for the weight and dimensions of the speaker.
Troubleshooting
No sound coming from speakers
Check all wire connections at both the amplifier and the speaker terminals to ensure they are secure and correctly polarized.
Distorted sound at high volumes
Reduce the volume on your amplifier or ensure the source material is not clipping. Check if the amplifier has sufficient power to drive the speakers.
Weak bass response
Check that the speakers are correctly phased. If wires are reversed, bass cancellation will occur. Also, verify positioning relative to walls.

For care, keep the units away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity. The cabinet can be cleaned with a dry, lint-free microfiber cloth; avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents on the woofer cone or tweeter dome.
