Information

Unpacking

These speakers were carefully tested and inspected during production, packaging and shipping. After unpacking please check for any damage. It is rare that a unit is damaged during shipping, but if this does happen, please contact your retailer immediately.

We recommend that you keep the original carton and packing material for future shipping.

Recommended Speaker Setup

Correct speaker placement has a huge impact on sound quality. There are many different theories, but all rooms and tastes are different so it's impossible to specify a correct placement. We do suggest you experiment with a few different locations see what is best for you.

For the best bass response on, we recommend that you keep a minimum distance of 20-25 cm between the speakers and the rear wall. Align the speakers with the tweeters at eye level according to your most common listening position.

Speaker Conditioning and Break-in

Although a break-in period is not required, we recommend that you play between 24 to 48 hours of music through the speakers before doing any critical listening or speaker placement.

Speaker Cleaning

We don't recommend using any solvents or cleaners on cabinets or speaker drive units. Just wipe down with a soft, dry cloth.
