Dear Customer, We would like to thank and congratulate you on choosing Palladio Level 6 loudspeakers for your audio/audio-video system.

Should you have any doubts or enquiries, please contact your sales point’s technical staff, the ofcial Sonus faber distributor in your country, or Sonus faber directly by writing to [e-mail]. Finally, we highly suggest registering on-line with the website www.sonusfaber.com in order to keep up to date on all the latest news, initiatives and promotions offered by Sonus faber. Enjoy your music!

The output power data required by amplier in average conditions of use, depends on the features of the loudspeaker system (nominal impedance and sensitivity) and listening conditions (average acoustic level and listening point). In the case of loudspeaker with nominal impedance of 4 Ω and sensitivity of 92 dBSPL, the following table is given Audio programs with higher peak factors require even higher amplication powers. As it can be seen, the cost in terms of amplication is not so much the maintenance of the listening level as the management of the very short moments in which the musical signal has extraordinarily high levels.

• Protective cover Every optional accessory, which can be purchased separately, is illustrated in Chapter 4.

1.2 WARRANTY AND AFTER SALES SUPPORT

Palladio Level 6 loudspeakers are designed and manufactured according to the highest quality standards. Should, however, a fault or a malfunction occur, the loudspeakers are covered by warranty, in compliance with the regulations in force in the country where the loudspeakers were purchased. In such cases, please contact the dealer from whom you purchased your loudspeakers, or the ofcial Sonus faber distributor for your country; the contact information for all the distributors can be found on our website:

• https://www.sonusfaber.com/distributori-store/

• https://www.sonusfaber.com/en/distributors-stores/ The following should also be kept in mind for your convenience:

• The warranty on the loudspeakers covers any manufacturing defects;

• Keep the receipt as proof of purchase to show to the retailer if necessary;

• Keep the original packaging of the loudspeakers so that they can be transported or shipped to an authorised service centre without undergoing damage;

• The loudspeakers must be accompanied by a description of the malfunction or defect encountered. The product warranty will be void under the following conditions:

• If the product has been disassembled or modied by persons other than a Sonus faber authorised service centre;

• If the product has been used in a manner that is not consistent with the indications contained within this manual.

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 The packaging materials can cause pollution. These materials must not be disposed of as domestic waste, and must be brought to a waste collection and recycling centre. Do not leave the packaging materials within the reach of children! They could pose a risk of poisoning or suffocation if ingested. LISTENING DISTANCE

• for an average volume level at a listening distance equal to 82 dBSPL Loudspeaker systems for household use. They must not be used for high volume and continuous sound distribution, as, for example discotheque or sound reinforcement. In this type of application, the powers in question are incompatible with correct operation of the loudspeaker system and can lead to irreversible faults and, in some cases, the start of a re ENEN22 23
