INSTRUCTIONS
The intended use of this product means having read this operating manual and then
following the instructions contained herein.
General
Read the following safety instructions before setting up your system.
Keep the instructions for further reference.
Heed the warnings and follow the instructions.
Electrical
Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not open the loudspeaker. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
Never replace any fuse with a value or type other than those specified. Never bypass
any fuse.
Ensure that the specified voltage matches the voltage of the power supply you use. If
this is not the case, do not connect the loudspeakers to the power source.
Always switch off your entire system before connecting or disconnecting any cables, or
when cleaning any components.
To completely disconnect from AC mains, unplug the power supply from the power
socket. The loudspeaker should be installed near the mains connection, and it should
be easy to access the socket and disconnect the device if necessary.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, sockets,
and the point where it exits from the apparatus.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
Always keep electrical equipment out of the reach of children.
Always use fully checked cables. Defective cables can harm your loudspeaker. They are
a common source of any kind of noise, hum, crackling etc.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, for example if the power-supply cord or plug
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the device, or if the device
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
Mounting and moving
Some parts of the product protrude on the front and rear panels. Never position the
loudspeaker face down, face up, or on either side. When moving the loudspeakers on a
trolley, take care to avoid injuries by not over-balancing the trolley.
Condensation may occur if you have moved the loudspeaker from a cold to a warm
environment. Allow time for this condensation to evaporate before using the product.
Only use this product indoors.
Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
The loudspeaker must be positioned on a solid surface or a stand.
Only suitably qualified installers should mount this product.
Only use mounts, attachments, and accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Ensure a free airflow at both sides of the loudspeaker and allow the passive radiators
to move unimpeded and radiate sound cleanly by keeping a distance of at least 10cm /
4" to nearby walls and any other objects, surfaces, or materials.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, hot air vents, stoves, or any
other equipment [including amplifiers] that produces heat.
The driver magnets emit a magnetic field. Keep magnetically sensitive items, such as
hard drives and magnetic storage media, away from the loudspeaker.
Liquids, chemicals, and environment
Do not expose this product to rain or moisture, never wet the product with any liquid
and never pour or spill liquids directly onto this unit. Do not put any objects filled with
liquids [e.g. vases, etc.] onto the loudspeaker.
Never use flammable or combustible chemicals for cleaning audio components.
Never expose this product to extremely high or low temperatures.
Do not place product in direct sunlight.
Never operate this product in an explosive atmosphere.
No naked flame sources, such as lit candles, should be placed on the loudspeaker.
Only suitable for safe use in areas less than 2000 meters above sea level.
Only for safe use in non-tropical climate conditions.
Only use a dry lint-free cloth for cleaning.
Health
This loudspeaker can generate sound pressure levels in excess of 85 dB(A). High sound
levels may damage your hearing! Sound exposure is a function of time and level. Longer
times and lower levels can be equivalent to shorter times and higher levels. Exercise
caution when using this product and do not get close to the loudspeakers when using
them at high levels.
The product generates a strong magnetic field which may affect pacemakers or
implanted defibrillators.
The tweeter has a strong magnetic grille in front of the folded diaphragm. Never place
metal objects or particles near the tweeter.
Never touch the tweeter diaphragm or allow large particles (especially metal ones)
near the tweeter.
