Flat coaxial 2-way speaker unit*

The newly developed flat coaxial two-way speaker units (woofer and tweeter) realise a point sound source. Technics's original flat woofer diaphragm provides smooth directional characteristics over the entire frequency range without peaks and dips, achieving superb sound localisation and a large soundstage. *1 Since the flat diaphragm is woven with carbon fibre, its flat panel component has a fine waffle texture. Please note that this does not affect the performance and other characteristics of the speakers.

Dome tweeter that can reproduce frequencies of up to 100 kHz The lightweight aluminium diaphragm allows the reproduction of sound over an ultra-wide frequency range that extends up to 100 kHz. The result is a faithful reproduction of audio signals with all nuances intact.

High rigidity entasis form cabinet Designed to eliminate unwanted vibration, diffraction reflection, and standing waves, the cabinet allows the reproduction of faithful and rich sound ambience.Product name Model numberNetwork Audio Player ST-C700Compact Disc Player SL-C700Stereo Integrated Amplifier SU-C700 SB-C700-W SB-C700-K

Install the speakers at least 5cm (2z) away from the walls so that they do not cover the bass reflex ports on the rear. ≥When placing the speakers on stands, be sure to consult an installation specialist to protect the speakers from earthquakes. ≥Keep the amplifier or any other device and the speakers at least 1 cm (

/32z) away from each other. ∫ For optimum position The quality and volume of the bass sound, sound localisation performance, sound ambience, and other factors that determine the audio quality vary depending on the installation location of this unit, listening position, room conditions, and other factors. Refer to the information below when installing the speakers. Determining an installation location. ≥Put the speakers on a flat safe surface. ≥To minimise the gap in audio quality between the left and right speakers, install them so that acoustic conditions (reflection and absorption of sound) around them are the same. ≥Depending on the way the speakers are placed, the speaker cables may not be long enough. In such a case, use desired cables that are sufficiently long and deliver high quality audio. Adjusting the distances between the rear of the speakers and the walls If you install the speakers close to a wall or in a corner, the bass sound will be more powerful; however, when the speakers are too close to it, sound localisation performance and sound ambience may deteriorate. If this occurs, adjust the distance between the speakers and the front wall, which should be between 30 cm (12z) to 60 cm (24z). (Please note that the distance between the speakers and the side walls should be greater than 60 cm (24z).) 60° e.g., The angle is approximate.

Doing so will increase the amplifer’s harmonic distortion and may damage the speakers. ≥You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play sound at high levels over extended periods. Unit care Clean the speakers with a soft, dry cloth. ≥When dirt is heavy, wring a wet cloth tightly to wipe the dirt, and then wipe it with a dry cloth. ≥Do not use solvents including benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergent, a chemical wiper, etc. This might cause the exterior case to be deformed or the coating to come off.
