The Sophia loudspeakers are hand painted with WilsonGloss™ paint and
hand polished to a high luster. While the finish seems quite dry to the touch, final
curing and complete hardening takes place over a period of several weeks.

To protect the finish of the Sophia during final manufacture, shipment, and
setup in the listening room, a removable layer of protective film has been applied
over the finish. It is recommended that this film be left in place until the speakers
are in their final location in the listening room. Once their final position has been
determined, remove the film by following this procedure:
1. Ensure the speaker surface is room temperature before removing the pro-
tective film. Removing the protective film when the speaker surface is
cold can damage the paint surface.
2. Slowly remove the film from the top down, large sections at a time, gently
pulling the film downward and outward. Tearing the film aggressivley can
damage the paint.
3. Take care in removing the protective film near edges and corners to pre-
vent paint damage in these areas.
4. The protective film should not be left on the painted surface for extended
periods of time nor exposed to heat sources and direct sunlight.
