INTRODUCTION Introduction Dear customer, Thank you for the trust you have put in us by buying these speakers. You decided upon a quality product that in regard to tonal and technical characteristics complies to the utmost expectations. The usual burn-in period is not required, because the speakers are artificially aged in-house. Please read the technical description and manual to take advantage of the capabilities of these speakers and ensure safe operation. musikelectronic geithain GmbH TS 36SP / TS 36KSP...
80 Hz. The resulting bass level enables the use as a full- range system in many situations. Optionally our TT-subwoofers can be employed to extend the bass transmission range more than one octave. The waveguide of the horn driver is available in two opening angles and is also mountable rotated through 90°. So the speaker becomes flexibly usable and is as well variable regarding the mounting position. A variety of available mountings provide easy assembly for almost every application. musikelectronic geithain GmbH TS 36SP / TS 36KSP...

Disposal Products built by us belong to B2C-class of the WEEE guidelines and must not be disposed with domestic waste. 5.2.1 Germany It is not allowed to dispose of used electrical equipment as domestic waste. Non-reusable parts of the mounting accessories have to be disposed according to national environmental regulations. Ensure disposal of damaged mounting accessories before they could be reused. But do not dispose these products and accessories at official collecting points for recycling either! Disposal of Musikelectronic Geithain GmbH products labelled with a waste bin sign have thus to be disposed of by Musikelectronic Geithain GmbH alone. Please call Musikelectronic Geithain GmbH at the number stated below if you have a Musikelectronic Geithain GmbH product to be disposed. We will offer you a straightforward and professional disposal not affecting cost. If there is no waste bin sign on one of your Musikelectronic Geithain GmbH products, because they have been sold before March 2006 then by law the owner is in charge of the disposal. For these we will be happy to assist and offer you proper ways of disposal. Declaration: With the ElektroG (law relating to electrical and electronic equipment and appliances) we have complied with the EU-directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE, 2002/96/ EC). musikelectronic geithain GmbH TS 36SP / TS 36KSP...

Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein (except Germany) mentioned in the WEE from 08/13/2005 onwards with a sign with a crossed out waste bin and a white bar below. This sign indicates that the disposal into the domestic waste is prohibited and that the product has been put into circulation at the 08/13/2005 earliest. Unfortunately the European directive WEEE has been complied with implementing different national provisions of law throughout all member countries, which makes it impossible for us to offer consistent solutions for the disposal throughout Europe. Responsible for complying with these provisions of law is the local distributor (importer) of each country. For proper disposition of used products in accordance with these local provisions in the mentioned countries of the European Union (except Germany) please ask your local dealer or the local authorities. 5.2.3 Other countries For proper disposition of used products in accordance with these local provisions in other countries please ask your local dealer or the local authorities. musikelectronic geithain GmbH TS 36SP / TS 36KSP...

Ensure that all connections are secured to prevent their detaching on their own and that only admissibly statically tested and sufficiently sized connecting devices, ropes and chains are used. 7.1.3 Mounting instructions for speakers Speakers are to be mounted in a way, so that they cannot fall and cause damages to environment or persons. Therefore stacked speakers are to be secured with safety straps. Connecting cables have to be installed so that nobody trips. Stability of stacked systems (including stands and distance rods) is ensured, when the following requirement is fulfilled: Stacked systems may not fall even if they are inclined more than 10° in any direction. To fulfil this requirement take measures to achieve compliance. One possibility is strapping the stacked speakers to a solid base or using safety straps. musikelectronic geithain GmbH TS 36SP / TS 36KSP...
; visual inspection of all outside parts for obvious damage (e. g. scratches, damages of any kind) ; visual inspection of all mounting accessories for obvious damage (e. g. scratches, corrosion) ; inspection of front grille and foam for secure attachment ; regular lubrication of all sockets with WD-40 or similar products 7.2.2 Functional check ; When the system is ready for operation turn up the level on the mixing console. Then the levels of the top cabinets and bass systems should be balanced. ; Adjustment of the systems is also possible without the software ME Geithain DSP Control directly with the controls at the TS…SP speakers. ; Before switching off the system all speakers should be disconnected from mains. After that switch off the remaining equipment. musikelectronic geithain GmbH TS 36SP / TS 36KSP...
