IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Please read through the instruction manual carefully before starting to use the device. This manual contains important information concerning operation and safety aspects. It is imperative you observe all of the information. Keep the manual in a safe location.

• Never subject the subwoofer to dripping or splashing water. Do not place any flower vases or other filled recipients on top of the subwoofer.

• The distance between the active subwoofer enclosure and the walls of the room or other objects (e. g. furniture, shelf units) may not be less than 5 cm on any side. The aluminium plate and cooling fins of the amplifier at the rear of the active subwoofer serve to cool the built-in amplifier; for this reason, they must also be at least 5 cm away from all objects and must not be covered (e.g. by a curtain). The bass reflex opening(s) on the active subwoofer must not be covered (e. g. by curtains, etc.) in order to guarantee adequate ventilation of the amplifier.99

• The subwoofer should not be positioned near heat sources (heaters, ovens, radiant heaters, naked flames, etc.).

• Only operate the subwoofer at an ambient/room temperature from 10°C to 40°C. The active sub- woofer may not be used in very humid rooms.

• Please do not place any items with naked flames (e.g. candles) on the active subwoofer.

• Please do not touch or connect the mains cable when your hands are damp.

• Keep the mains cable away from heaters.

• The device should not continue to be operated if there is visible damage to the mains cable. A damaged cable should not be repaired, but must be replaced.

• Never place heavy items on the mains cable.

• The mains plug is used as the disconnecting device. Disconnecting devices shall remain readily operable.

• If the device is not going to be used for a prolonged period (e.g. when on holiday), it should be disconnected from the mains by removing the plug. The device should also be disconnected from the mains in the event of a thunderstorm. Doing this will prevent damage caused by lightning and overvoltage.

• Do not use any cleaning agents or chemical solvents when cleaning, as these could damage the surface of the device.

• Repairs must always be conducted by qualified specialists, as you might otherwise be exposed to dangerous high voltage levels or other hazards.

THE ACTIVE SUBWOOFER MAGNAT OMEGA CS 12

This subwoofer has been adapted to provide the best visual and acoustic match to the MAGNAT range of loudspeakers. However, it goes without saying that it may be combined with other loudspeakers. POSITIONING The frequency range reproduced by the subwoofer cannot be pinpointed by the human ear. That‘s why positioning generally doesn‘t present any problems. However, it is preferable to place the speaker close to the front loudspeaker in front of the listening position. You should also make sure that the distance from the sides and from the rear to items and walls is at least 20 centimetres as otherwise bass reproduction may be impaired.
