    1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Alfred & Partners Alfred & Partners, the Tallinn based design studio and think tank, is not simply a business but a dedication, a dedication to a single, heartfelt idea - the production of Instruments, Sound Diffusers, Sculptures - capable of unveiling the rich, emotional tapestry of music in a personally involving way.
  • Page 5 - music. - - - For Estelon, the new brand, the visionary development started in 2006 when Alfred started to analyze materials and technologies for producing cabinets with streamlined shapes that could not only reproduce the best sound but also assimilate into an interior, with their elegant “sculpture”...

    The XA is far more than simply speaker drivers in a cabinet. It is a genuine musical instrument in its own right. One that, when carefully integrated into system and room, is capable of connecting the listener to music in a most profound way.
  • Page 7 All moving elements of the driver are ventilated for “resonance free” response. This unique technology allows the Estelon XA to produce bass and dynamics that belie the size of the loudspeaker enclosure. The 30 mm high frequency driver has ultra hard ceramic dome.

    3. UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS Your Estelon loudspeakers come packaged individually in 2 separate flight cases – we strongly recommend keeping these cases for possible future use / transport. Due to the substantial weight and slippery surface of the loudspeakers we suggest that two persons assist in the unpacking and positioning of them for listening.
  • Page 12 initial set-up. Once the final position has been located, it is time to replace the transport wheels with the enclosed spikes. Doing one side at a time, carefully tilt the speaker to one side and replace the wheels with the enclosed spikes.
  • Page 14: Set-Up

    4. SET-UP 4.1. Initial positioning in the room Model XA - Suggested room size 25-60 m When positioning the speakers in your room, if possible, it is desirable to allow for “free” space around the speakers so as to assist in minimizing sound reflections from walls, furniture etc. This will help in achieving correct tonality, realistic imaging, focus and dynamics.

    / writing on the cable. 4.3. Break-in period Although your Estelon speakers had an initial break-in at the factory, due to shipping conditions - pressure/temperature changes that they may have incurred, the speakers will need to go through an additional break-in process before their final set-up.
  • Page 16 experience or the qualification of the set-up specialist. Proper set- up will maximize your Estelons’ performance. During the final set-up small changes may be made to the initial chosen position, e.g. moving the speakers 10 cm towards the front wall, then maybe a little bit inward and outward. Please evaluate the sound carefully every time you make a small change in the positioning.

    5. Taking care of your Estelon speakers The multicoated finishes applied to Estelon speakers are considered to be amongst the most advanced automotive finishes available. They are extremely strong and durable. In order to assist you in maintaining their stunning appearance, your Estelon loudspeakers come supplied, from the factory, with special cleaning / polishing cloths.
