Special precautions regarding the Beryllium dome tweeter (1000 Be).
In its solid form, Beryllium is harmless. However, due to its nature, certain special precautions should be observed to avoid
exposure to unnecessary risk.
• Under no circumstances should the Beryllium dome be subjected to any form of abrasive action. To ensure no accidental
damage to the tweeter dome it is advised to carefully replace the magnetic protection grille.
• In the unlikely case of damage to the dome, of any form, the supplied piece of adhesive tape should be immediately
used to seal the whole front surface of the tweeter. The protective cover should then be replaced and also taped securely
in place. You should then inform the dealer from whom you purchased the product so that the tweeter can be removed by
a professional and returned to the product distributor for replacement.
• If the dome is broken in any way giving rise to loose particles of Beryllium, these should be carefully collected with the use of an
adhesive tape and sealed in a zip-top bag to be returned with the tweeter.

Running-in period

The drivers used in the loudspeaker are complex mechanical devices and require run-in period before they deliver their best
performance. They must get adapted to the tem-perature and humidity conditions of their environment. This breaking-in
period depends on the encountered conditions and can last several weeks. In order to shorten this period, we advise you
to let your loudspeakers operate for about twenty hours at medium level, playing standard musical programmes, but with a
large amount of bass.
Once the components of the loud-speakers are completely stabilized, it is possible to enjoy the real performance of your
loudspeakers.
User precautions
All the products are lacquered in order to offer a resistant cabinet surface and to make the upkeep easy.We recommend the
use of a dry cloth to dust your pair of loudspeakers. If the loudspeaker is stained, then use a damp cloth.
Never use any solvents, detergents, alcohol or corrosive products, scrappers or scouring powder to clean the surface of the
loudspeaker. Avoid placing the loudspeakers near a heat source.
