OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Safety Instructions

1. General information

• Please read and follow these safety instructions.
• Keep them safe for future reference.
• Observe all warnings on the speaker and in the manual. Please check the speaker for damage before use. The speaker must be in perfect working condition. Damaged parts may lead to personal injury.

2. Use only as directed

• Connect the speaker(s) according to the instructions in the manual.
• Many ELAC speakers are equipped with spikes and/or anti-slip feet. They are explicitly provided for levelling the speaker. For levelling on an uneven floor, unscrew the spikes or anti-slip feet by 2-3 turns of thread. The speaker should always be in perfect vertical alignment: the stability of the speaker must not be compromised by using spikes or anti-slip feet as the speaker may tip-over.

3. Location

• Install the speakers on a level surface only
- When choosing the location of these speakers do not place them in locations that are:

• In direct sunlight
- Very humid
- Prone to vibrations
• Exceptionally hot or cold
- Near CRT Televisions (the speakers are not magnetically shielded and may cause color issues with a CRT based TV)
- Close to magnetic cards (Since the speakers are not magnetically shielded placing magnetic cards such as credit cards or commuter cards may cause them to fail).

WARNING! Please ensure the product is perfectly stable to avoid injury from tip-over. Please note, that stability can be increased by using spikes on carpeted surfaces. However, the mounting of spikes must be carried out carefully due to their very sharp ends which may cause injuries. The stability on slippery floors can be increased by using Velcro fastening tape or double-sided adhesive tape. Do not install the speaker near any heat sources such as radiators, heating valves, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat, or in areas where there is a risk of explosion.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not install the speaker in a closed rack or in a closed cupboard.
• Do not put burning candles on or near the speaker.
• Do not install the speaker near transformers because electromagnetic stray fields can cause hum noise on woofers.
• In combination with certain materials / lacquers / material surfaces, anti-slip feet or spike washers may cause colored imprints on the surfaces.

4. Overload

Extreme overload of the device due to very high volume may cause damage to individual components. Because of the possible danger, you should never leave loudspeakers under extreme overload conditions unattended.

5. Service

DANGER! Do not open the cabinet because the components and conductors may carry current! Servicing to be carried out by qualified service personnel only.

Servicing is required when the loudspeaker has been damaged in any way, such as damage to the power supply cord or the plug, or when liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen onto the loudspeaker, the speaker has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not open the loudspeaker. Servicing should be carried out by qualified service personnel only.

6. Cleaning

NOTE: Clean only with soft, smooth cloth or with dust brush. Do not use scouring agents, alcohol, benzene, furniture polish or other agents for cleaning! Modern furniture is often coated with multiple varnishes and plastics which can be treated with chemical agents. Some of these agents contain substances which degrade or soften the rubber feet. Therefore we advise that you place an anti-slip mat underneath the loudspeaker(s).

7. Volume

CAUTION! Continuous high volume may cause severe damage to your hearing. Please listen responsibly.

8. Disposal

The packaging is made from recyclable materials. Dispose of this in an environmentally friendly manner. At end of life do not dispose of the speaker(s) with standard household waste. The speaker must be recycled in accordance with local legislation. Ask your local government for further information on recycling as the device contains valuable raw materials. Disable the speaker(s) before disposal.

• The OW-V41S speaker model can be mounted only horizontally.
• Use the provided template to mark up on the wall the location of the holes, depending of your model and orientation of the speakers. See Fig.1.

Speakers Connection

After choosing the orientation of the speakers, do the following to avoid damaging the speakers:

• Ensure your equipment is turned off before connecting speakers.
• Use appropriate gauge wires (minimum of 16 gauge wire for runs up to 25 feet).
• Make sure wire polarity is connected correctly. Most speaker cables are coded for ease of use. Make sure positive (red) connection on the amplifier terminal is connected to the positive (red) on your speakers. Follow the same instructions for the negative side. Strip off approximately 1/2" of the insulation from the ends of the speaker cable, twist the bare strands and insert into the binding post.
• Check to ensure positive and negative wires are not touching each other once they're connected to the speaker terminals. See Fig.2.

Installing and Removing the Grills

The mesh grills of your Debut speakers are designed to be removable if desired. To remove it, hold the top or bottom edges of the grill close to the mounting points and pull gently. To replace the grill, align the pegs on the grills with the holes on the speaker and press in gently.

On-Wall Speaker Setup

The Elac OW-V41L and OW-V41S on-wall speakers are designed to be mounted on the wall.

The OW-V41L and OW-V41S can be used in different configuration, depending on your home audion system.

Further more, two pieces of OW-V41L can be combine with one piece of OW-V41S to create a 2.1 speaker audio system.

We highky suggest that a professional installer performs the installation of the on-wall speakers. Different wall materials require different types of mounting hardware.

Typical placement solutions for OW-V41L and OW-V41S on-wall speakers are shown in Fig.4 and Fig.5.

Wall mounting screws are not provided.
