Connecting

Danger Danger of injury/damage!

Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a trip hazard.

1. Pull the power plug of your amplifier/AV receiver out or multi-channel active subwoofer of the outlet.
2. Lay the speaker cables from your amplifier/AV receiver or multi-channel active subwoofer to each speaker. These cables should be high-quality double-wire speaker cable with marked strands. The diameter should amount to at least 1.5 mm ^4 .
3. A connector comprising two terminals is located on the back side of each speaker, to which you have to connect the speaker cables.
   The terminal clips are each marked red (+) and black (-).

Make sure the polarity is correct!

Connect the like coloured terminals. Otherwise the sound quality will suffer.

The speaker connections of your amplifi erAV receiver or multi-channel active subwoofer should be marked similarly. The strands of the speaker cables are marked with different colours or shapes.

Diagram showing three different cable or wire connection setups: straight, curved, and rectangular (no text or symbols)

1. Split the single wire down to approx. 30 mm on both ends and strip approx. 10 mm of insulation off of each cord.
2. Twist the stripped single wire ends together so that no wire protrudes. Tin coating is not necessary.
3. Turn the connector terminal counterclockwise until loose. Run the stripped cable end into the now visible hole. Close the terminal by turning it clockwise. The cable has now been clamped in place.
4. Connect the speaker cables to your amplifier/AV receiver or multi-channel active subwoofer. The operating instructions of the appliance should contain notes on this.
5. Reinsert the power plug of your amplifier/AV receiver or multi-channel active subwoofer into the outlet.

The veneered surfaces of our speakers have a protective surface coat, which eliminates the need for wood polish.

• You can best remove dust or small amounts of dirt with a dry, smooth leather cloth.
• Rub off stubborn dirt with a damp cloth. Make sure that no liquids penetrate the speakers.
• Then immediately wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth and without applying pressure.

Attention Risk of damage!

Using the wrong cleaning materials may damage the delicate surface of the case.

If possible, only use plain water without any additives. In case of stubborn marks, a mild soap solution may be used. In no circumstances should caustic cleaning products, white spirit, thinners, petrol or similar be used for cleaning.
