Operating Instructions K&F SONA SUB II Avoid damage caused by the speakers' magnetic fields Speakers are permanently surrounded by a magnetic field, even when they are not connected. Therefore, during transport and placement of the speakers, it is important to ensure that there is a sufficient distance between the speakers and magnetic data media and computer/video monitors (except flat panels).
For a balanced sound reproduction, suitable for speech and average music material, one subwoofer SONA SUB II can be combined with up to 4 tops SONA 5. This is valid as long as the amplifiers for subwoofer and top skeakers have the same overall gain and the SONA SUB II is mounted on a wall or on the open floor (reference use).
