1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
3. Follow all warnings and instructions in this manual and marked on the product.
4. Any service or repair required must be performed by qualified, factory authorized personnel.

GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR SONANCE SILHOUETTE SPEAKERS

When properly installed and operated with appropriate components, your Sonance Silhouette speakers will provide many years of
entertainment pleasure. Sonance Silhouette speakers are capable of delivering pristine sound quality, unparalleled clarity, and
precise imaging. Your system also can sustain reproduction of substantial continuous sound levels, with a large dynamic
performance margin. To realize the full potential of your new speakers, please read all instructions before starting the installation
process.
Pre-installation is critical to achieving the maximum performance of your Sonance Silhouette speakers. Factors such as the location
and height of seating and location of video monitor dictate the proper placement and direction of speakers. As with any fine speaker,
good room characteristics are necessary to ensure the maximum sonic performance of which the Sonance Silhouette is capable.
Remember that the wall is part of the sound reproduction system. To the degree possible, the listening room should be symmetrical
both in overall shape, and with respect to furnishings (especially wall treatments and hanging art). The best listening rooms exhibit
low intrusion of ambient noise. In any event, the Sonance Silhouette speakers should not be mounted with less than two feet of
unobstructed wall on either side (i.e., not in columns).
Optimum horizontal placement of left and right speakers is six to ten feet apart and at least 18" from side walls (see below). All

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Retain the safety and operating
instructions for future reference.
2. Any service or repair required
must be performed by qualified,
factory authorized personnel.
3. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners on the speakers.
4. To clean your speakers, wipe the
grilles with a soft cloth dampened
with water. You may remove the
grilles to wash and dry them. The
baffle and drivers may be dusted by
gentle use of "canned air" commonly
used to clean cameras and
computer equipment.
5. Do not expose your Sonance
Silhouette speakers to direct sunlight
or high heat. Extended periods of
exposure may cause deterioration of
adhesives and driver materials,
compromising the useful life of the speakers.
6. Sine wave test tones can damage your Sonance Silhouette speakers and should only be used at low volume levels for short periods.
7. Do not expose your Sonance Silhouette speakers to construction dust, dirt, or airborne paint particles. If the area in which your
speakers are installed is subject to potentially damaging airborne particles, you may remove the grilles, temporarily cover them
with paper or plastic food wrap, then replace them over the speakers. Be sure to remove this protective cover after the dirty
activity is complete and the room is thoroughly cleaned.
