== Listening Test ==

Listen to the system running full-range pre-recorded music at full stage volume.

== Cylindrical Radiator® ==

=== Physical Inspection ===

[[File:L1Disassembled.gif|right]] Check the Cylindrical Radiator® sections under good light for dents and scratches. These won't affect the operation of the unit, but it's good to find these now instead of under stage lights later.

Check the ends of the Cylindrical Radiator® sections.

When the system is fully assembled, look at it from the side to make sure the Cylindrical Radiator® stands straight. If it doesn't then it's likely the bayonet is bent.

=== Drivers ===

There are 24 drivers in the {{Model II}} Cylindrical Radiator® (12 in the {{Model 1S}}).

Play some music and listen carefully for sound from all drivers. Listen for rattles and buzzes.

=== General Inspection ===

Check for signs of wear and tear, scratches or dents in the Cylindrical Radiator®s, the Power Stand, and {{B1}} or {{B2}} bass modules.
