Running-in period
The drivers used in the loudspeakers are complex mechanical devices and require run-in period before they deliver their
best performance. They must get adapted to the temperature and humidity conditions of their environment. This breaking-in
period depends on the encountered conditions and can last several weeks. In order to shorten this period, we advise you to let
your loudspeakers operate for about twenty hours at medium level, playing standard musical programmes, but with a large
amount of bass.
Once the components of the loudspeakers are completely stabilized, it is possible to enjoy the real performance of your
loudspeakers.
User precautions
All the products are lacquered in order to offer a resistant cabinet surface and to make the upkeep easy. We recommend the
use of a dry cloth to dust your pair of loudspeakers. If the loudspeaker is stained, then use a damp cloth.
Never use any solvents, detergents, alcohol or corrosive products, scrappers or scouring powder to clean the surface of the
loudspeaker. Avoid placing the loudspeakers near a heat source.
Accessories
The floorstanding loudspeakers are provided with four steel spikes and four rubber cones, if needed the spikes can be screwed
on the 4 metallic inserts located in the base of the enclosure. These decoupling spikes help to ensure excellent stability of
the loudspeakers, especially if the floor is not perfectly flat and smooth. This stability is essential to insure that the energy
supplied by bass membrane is fully restored in the form of sound. The spikes provided are adjustable in height, such that
the four spikes lie uniformly on the ground without any tilting. When using spikes, we recommend that you place a metallic
element (coin for example) between the ground and the spike to not scratch or damage tile flooring.
