Maintenance; Specifications - Magnat Audio SYMBOL X 160 Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT: For good sound the cables must be connected so that the speakers are "in phase". This means that the black negative
terminals on the speakers (-) must be connected to the negative (-) terminals on the amplifier, the positive (+) speaker terminals to the
positive (+) amplifier terminals. To make this easier one wire of most speaker cables is marked with a coloured strip or a ridge in the
insulation.
Before switching on the system double-check all your connections and make sure that the terminal screws are tight and that there are no
short circuits caused by stray wire filaments – this could cause serious damage to your amplifier!
HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR VALUABLE SPEAKERS
All MAGNAT loudspeakers are designed and built for optimum sound reproduction with the tone controls in the central position – i.e. with
"linear" amplifier output. Turning up the bass and treble controls too far delivers more power to the woofers and/or tweeters, and at high
volumes this can actually destroy the speaker units!
If the output of your amplifier is significantly higher than the rated power handling capacity of your speakers extremely high volumes can
physically destroy your speakers. This doesn't actually happen often but you should be aware that it is possible.
Weak amplifiers with low output ratings can actually be more dangerous for your speakers at medium volumes because weak amplifiers
may overload much faster than powerful ones and this causes measurable and audible distortion, which is extremely dangerous to your
loudspeakers.
Always turn the volume down immediately as soon as you hear distortion! If you like listening to loud music make sure that your amplifier
can deliver at least as much power as the speakers' power-handling rating.
THE SOUND YOU CAN'T HEAR...
Amplifiers, tuners and CD/DVD players can all produce inaudible high-frequency signals – and this doesn't only apply to cheap products.
If your tweeters fail at low or medium volumes you should have a qualified technician check your system components for dangerous
inaudible signals.

MAINTENANCE

The surface is best cleaned with a mild household cleaner. On no account use furniture polish or similar products.
