    Ilumnia Vocalis Speaker Conditioning and Break-in Although a break-in period is not required, we recommend that you play between 100 to 150 hours of music through the speakers before doing any critical listening or speaker placement. The LEMS driver does not have a break-in period at all because it does not have any parts which are prone to strain like spider and surround.
