Thank you for choosing the FOCAL PROFESSIONAL SM9.
The SM9 are world class Professional Monitoring Systems.
They have been designed to offer superior imaging, outstanding precision and extended frequency range, suitable for
near field and mid field monitoring.
Unpacking
In addition to one loudspeaker and a user manual (such as this one), each SM9 carton should contain:
• A power cord.
• A guarantee card.
• 3 protection grilles for the transducers (you are advised to remove the grilles before listening to the speakers).
A plastic bag containing an information note “Beryllium inverted dome tweeter”, and some adhesive tape to affix on the tweeter
in the unlikely event of the dome being damaged.
Please check that none of these items are missing, and remove all accessories from the carton.
Considering the heavy weight of the SM9 monitors (35kg per unit), we advise you to be 2 people to unpack and to
position your monitors.
To remove the loudspeaker from its carton without damage, open the end flaps fully and bend them right back. Then
remove the upper cushion and lift the loudspeaker out gently. Inspect the speaker for signs of any possible damage.
In the unlikely event of this having occurred please inform the carrier and supplier. It is a good practice to keep the packaging in
case of future transportation.
Preliminary recommendations
We would like to give a word of warning about the high sound pressure levels that can be generated by these loudspeakers,
especially in a 5.1 configuration. Because of their low levels of distortion, and the minimal fatigue incurred by the user, it is not
always obvious to realise the actual sound pressure level while working.
Please bear in mind that exposure to excessive levels over a sustained period of time may lead to permanent hearing loss.
Warranty
These products are guaranteed against defects in components and workmanship only, for a period of two years from the date of
shipment to the end user for countries of the European Union. For other countries, please refer to the law in effect.
During the warranty period Focal will, at their discretion, either repair or replace products which prove to be defective, provided
that the product is returned, shipping prepaid, to an authorised Focal service facility.
Defects caused by unauthorised modifications, accident, negligence or any misuse are not covered by this warranty.
For further information please contact your dealer or the distributor in your country.
