SAFETY INFORMATION

Install the speakers in order to achieve the best possible stability. If it's the case, adjust points / feet supports.
Avoid placing heavy objects on the speaker as they can compromise its stability.
In case the speaker is placed on a surface other than the suggested stands (ex. shelves, bookcases, TV sup-
ports, etc.) or directly the floor, firstly check that it can support the weight of the speaker(s). Also check that
there is enough friction between the speaker and the surface in order to avoid any movement caused through
vibrations whilst in use. Where needed rubber adhesive feet can be purchased from all good hardware stores.
Do not put any objects containing water or other liquid/liquefiable substance on the speaker system.
Follow the connection diagram suggested in the instructions manual. Remember that the parallel connection
of two or more speakers can damage your amplifier. If in doubt, contact your dealer.
Whilst the audio system is operative at high volumes avoid staying in close proximity to the speaker system.
This can cause permanent damage to your hearing! Children should maintain a safe distance from the speaker
system of at least 50 cm.
The speakers produce an electromagnetic field which is harmless to humans and pets, but they can cause
disturbances in the correct functioning of electronic equipment such as monitors or cathode tube TVs when
placed in close proximity. If this occurs, simply and slowly distance one from the other. As a further precau-
tion, it is not advisable to place credit cards or similar magnetically read objects on top of the speaker system.
The technology behind the functioning of the speakers is based on the principles of electromagnetism, and thus
the user should avoid operating equipment that generates strong electromagnetic fields as these could affect the
correct functioning of the speaker. Avoid placing transmitting devices such as mobile phones, cordless phones,
intercom systems etc. on top of the speaker systems.
Keep amplifier-speaker connection and power (mains) cables separate. Mains cables carry an alternating volta-
ge at a frequency of 50 Hz (60 Hz in Japan and the USA) and an intensity that can be high, and thus produce
an electromagnetic field even at audio frequency around them. In the case of coupling of these two types of
cables an annoying hum noise will be perceived through the speakers. If this should occur, do provide an ade-
quate distance between the cables.
Be very careful during the assembly and disassembly of the rubber string grille, if present. Check that the first
metal string holder is properly inserted before tightening the strings to secure the second one.
The speaker cable terminals accept banana plugs. Remove the red and black plastic caps only if you intend
to implement this type of connection and ensure that the other end of the cable is connected to the power
output terminals of your amplifier. This protection is aimed at avoiding accidental connection to unprotected
electrical outlets.
