It will help you to get the most use and enjoyment from your new Alesis monitors. 2.0 SPEAKER PLACEMENT While near-field monitors are more forgiving of the surrounding room acoustics, it is always prudent to optimize the listening environment whenever possible. - Page 7 Careful consideration should also be given to the physical spacing between the speakers. Alesis recommends that the distance between the speakers equal the distance between the listener and either speaker. In other words, the listener and the two speakers are at the three corners of a triangle having equal- length sides.

3.1 MAINTENANCE/REPAIR INFORMATION 3.1A Cleaning The cabinet surfaces of the Monitor One are covered with a textured rubber laminate. Clean these surfaces when necessary with a lint-free cloth dampened in warm soapy water. To preserve the textured finish, don't rub hard on the surface. Do not attempt to clean the cabinet with a brush (which may damage the surface) or a sponge (which may leave small crumbs in the texture). - Page 14 Repairs will be made under warranty only after Alesis or an Authorized Service Center has determined in its sole discretion through inspection that the failure was not the result of overpowering, abuse, power surges, or defective components ahead of the Monitor One.
