In line with national regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, we pay a fee to authorised recyclers who collect packaging from dealers. However, we recommend that you keep the original cardboard box and the rest of the pa- ckaging materials so that the unit can, if necessary, be transported in the safest possible conditions. The unit Important: The EU Directive 2002/96/EG governs the proper re-acceptance, handling and recycling of used electronic appliances. Old electronic appliances must therefore be disposed of sepa- rately. Never throw this set in the normal domestic waste. You can hand in your old set free of charge at identifi ed collection points or at your dealer if you buy a similar new set. Other details about re-acceptance (also for non-EU countries) are available from your local administration. Cleaning It is possible that the packaging material may leave marks on the surface of the fl oor-standing speaker. This does not mean that the surface has been damaged. These marks can be easily removed using water mixed with a little washing-up liquid and applied using a soft cloth (e.g. microfi bre). Clean the surface of the aluminum Individual Sound loudspeaker system with a damp, soft, clean cloth (without aggressive cleaning agents). Because of electrostatic charge dust may sellte on the speaker grille. You can gently suck it with a vacuum cleaner, if necessary.

TRICAL SHOCK PROTECT THE SPEAKERS FROM MOISTURE AND DAMAGE. If your have moved your Loewe Stand Speaker Slim ID system from a cold to a warm environment, leave it standing for about one hour before switching on because of the possible formation of condensation. Do not switch on until it has reached room temperature. This avoids seriously damaging the components. Welcome11 - English Setting up Installing the Loewe Stand Speaker Slim ID system Basic information CAUTION: THE ALUMINIUM SURFACE OF THE Loewe Stand Speaker Slim ID IS VERY SENSITIVE TO SCRATCHING AND IMPACT. AVOID ALL CONTACT WITH SHARP OBJECTS. DO NOT PLACE VASES, CANDLES OR OTHER OBJECTS ON TOP OF THE UNIT. CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE Loewe Stand Speaker Slim ID TO AN AM- PLIFIER OUTPUT, WHICH EMITS FREQUENCIES ≤ 150 HZ, IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGING THE LOUDSPEAKER.

• Place the speaker on a fi rm, level base.

• Hold the speaker on the sides and base plate when moving it. If the fabric lining becomes creased when doing so, please smooth this out carefully with your hand.

• Carefully pull the protective fi lm off the trim on the top.

• Please note, that the speakers consist of a right and left unit. A mark is on the product label at the base of each unit.

• Do not place the speakers near to strong sources of heat or in direct sunlight.

• Pull out the power adapter during thunderstorms. Surge voltages caused by lightning strikes can damage the unit.

• Also remove the power adapter in long periods of absence.

• The power adapter set must be easily accessible so that the unit can be disconnected from the power supply at all times.

• Lay the speaker and power cables in such a way that they cannot be dama- ged. The power cable may not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, not stood on and not exposed to chemicals; the latter also applies to the system as a whole. A power cable with damaged insulation can lead to electric shocks and is a fi re risk and must therefore be changed by qualifi ed service personnel before operation of the set continues. Functional principle The electrostatic speaker element used is an inverse high-voltage unit with dipole emission and additive treble array, activated by specially adapted high- voltage electronics. The effi ciency is twice as high as conventional electrostatic speakers thanks to the inverse arrangement and activation of the stators and speaker diaphragm. The surface emission of the sound means the volume heard remains in the range from 1 to 6 m hearing distance. The combination of surface emitter and dipole operation comes closest to the natural sound propagation of the original instruments and sounds. The natural characteristics of the sounds are retained as far as possible with this technology. A widening of the emission angle so as to enable several listeners to enjoy the sound simultaneously has been achieved by the additional asymmetrical treble array. The left and right speakers are therefore different. This innovative acoustic concept has been made possible by the use of new materials, surface fi nishing, production processes and electronic circuits. This technical refi nement is devoted solely to the aim of meeting the most demanding acoustic expectations and reproducing the natural characteristics of the original sound unobtrusively and appealingly in your living room. Optimum arrangement Please note, that due to the the operating principle of the Loewe Stand Speaker Slim ID, the sound is emitted on the front and rear side. It is useful if the distance from the walls (to the rear as well as left and right) is about equal, so that the sound distribution into the room may be optimal. In addition, the sound emission is directional. It is therefore recommended to arrange the speaker in a way, that they face into your preferred listening position (page 12).- 12 English Setting up Suggestion for Surround Sound positioning solution Front left Front right Surround left Surround right Loewe Flat-TV Subwoofer Center13 - English AudioLinkLine InSpeaker Out Power Mode Left CenterRightLeft Right Left Right230V~50/60Hz Left PhaseEqualizerCrossoverFrequency Bass Intensity 180° -3dB +6dB 50Hz 250Hz min max
