CONCERT GRAND SERIES
OWNER´S MANUAL
Now, as always, speakers form the most important link in a stereo system. Therefore,
they should be positioned and connected with care. It is our hope that the information
contained within this manual will help you in setting up your new speakers and
provide you with many years of listening pleasure.
Your Vienna Acoustics Team
CABINETS
Our speaker designs feature massive and inert cabinet construction. Vienna Acoustics
cabinets are designed with the latest computer modelling techniques and use a
combination of amorphous materials in order to ensure that they are both stiff and
well damped. Additionally, our designs feature massive, but narrow/slim, front baffles
in order to promote accurate imaging. The combination of precise build construction
using furniture grade finishing techniques and complex internal damping produce
designs capable of accurately rendering music.
All speakers are equipped with spikes, and in some cases bases. Please use them and
care for maximum stability by adjusting the spikes. To protect your wooden floor all
base/spike sets include spike-plates.
