2. SAFETY INFORMATION

• This instruction manual must be read carefully and kept in an accessible location for any needs that may arise.

• Make sure that in-wall/in-ceiling xing is suitably stable.

• Previously check that the capacity of the mounting surface is sufcient to support the weight of the loudspeaker/s.

• Avoid staying in close proximity to the loudspeakers while the audio system is operating at high volume. This can cause permanent damage to your hearing. Children must be kept at a safety distance of least 50 cm from the loudspeaker.

• The speakers generate an electromagnetic eld that is harmless to humans and pets, but can compromise the proper functionality of electronic equipment, such as CRT monitors or TVs, when placed in close proximity. If this occurs, increase the equipment’s distance from the loudspeakers.

• The technology underlying the speakers’ functionality is based on the principles of electromagnetism, and the user should therefore avoid operating equipment that generates strong electromagnetic elds, as these could affect the loudspeaker’s proper functionality.

• Do not connect the loudspeakers parallel to each other or directly to a constant voltage sound distribution system (100 V, 70.7 V or similar) without an adapter transformer. This could result in a serious system overload, with possible damage to the loudspeaker and/or the amplier.

• Do not place audio cables and electrical power cables in close proximity to one another. An electromagnetic eld is present in the vicinity of the power cables, which can cause an unpleasant humming noise. If this should occur, move the audio cables and electrical power cables away from each other.

• The connections must be made with the equipment turned off. Pay attention to the polarities of the terminals during connection.

• Connect the loudspeaker to a PS1 certied source pursuant to the IEC 62368-1 Standard.18

• Accessories box: fabric grids, screws, screw covers.

Respect the following general indications:

• It is advisable to open the packaging as close to the nal location as possible.

• Use a proper tool to open the packaging. Do not insert the blade too deep to avoid damaging the contents.

• Keep all the packaging elements for any future transport operations.

• Do not wear any watches, bracelets, rings, etc., in order to avoid scratching the loudspeakers and their nishes. The same care must be taken in order to protect the loudspeakers from any metal elements present on the clothes you are wearing, such as zippers, buttons, belt clasps, rivets, etc.

• Check the content of the packaging. If one or more of the items is missing, notify the dealer where the product was purchased.

• Do not touch the drivers during the operation. For the safe handling of the loudspeakers, it is strongly recommended to follow the instructions given in the table below: Hold the loudspeaker securely with both hands in order to avoid dropping it.

The loudspeakers do not require any particular maintenance operations, just general periodic cleaning. It is recommended to use a soft brush to eliminate any dust that may have accumulated on the cabinet, the front panels, and the loudspeakers themselves, taking care not to damage the loudspeakers’ delicate membranes. It is recommended to use the supplied cloth and liquid to clean the metal and glass surfaces (where present). Do not use aggressive strong chemical products such as acetone, trichloroethylene, acids, abrasive agents, strong de-greasers, alcohol, lemon or wine. These measures will help you to keep your loudspeakers’ working perfectly for years to come. Time will help improve the sound by breaking in the speakers’ moving parts (membranes and suspensions), and the acoustic chamber will become accustomed to music being played the more it is used - much like what happens with acoustic string instruments!
