Introduction
Thank you for buying the Apart OVO5P speaker set.
We have put great care and effort in the design in order to guarantee the highest
possible sound quality. Please read this manual before using the product.
This manual provides you with the information necessary to ensure a seamless
installation and the best possible sound quality. The speaker set consists of an
active speaker (left channel) and a passive slave speaker (right channel).
The amplifiers for both channels are incorporated in the left speaker.
The cabinets are equipped with a sturdy metal speaker bracket for easy installation
at various possible angles.
For indoor use only! These speakers are not magnetically shielded, so use them
only in combination with modern flat screen televisions or monitors.
Safety precaution
• Please check the packing for any kind of damage upon reception of the goods.
If the packing is damaged, please contact your dealer before opening it.
• !!!! Danger!!!! Exposure to high sound pressure levels may cause permanent
hearing loss. Hearing loss induced by exposure to high sound pressure levels
will vary from individual to individual, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing
when exposed for a sufficient amount of time. Therefore it is recommended that
all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure
levels, such as this amplifier, wear sufficient ear protection while installing or
operating this unit.
• Read all documentation before operating your equipment.
• Keep all documentation for future reference.
• Keep the carton and packing material, even if the equipment has arrived in good
condition.
• Should you ever need to send the unit back, use only the original factory packing.
• Do not spill water or other liquids on or into the unit.
• Make sure power outlets are conform to the power requirements listed on the
back of the unit.
• Do not use the unit if the electrical power cord is frayed or broken.
• Do not connect the inputs/outputs of amplifiers or consoles to any other voltage
source, such as batteries, mains sources or power supplies, regardless of whether
the amplifier or console is turned on or OFF.
• Power down and disconnect units from mains voltage before making
connections.

devices.
• Do not remove the cover. Removing the cover will expose you to potentially
dangerous volt¬ages.
• Do not drive the inputs with a signal level higher than that required to drive
equipment to full output.
• Do not run the output of any amplifier back into another input.
• In case of malfunction, this device should be serviced by qualified service
personnel only.
• For indoor use only! Do not expose the speaker to high humidity levels and/or
high ambient temperatures.

Mounting the speaker
The speakers are equipped with custom made painted metal brackets for easy
wall mounting. These brackets allow the speakers to rotate vertically as well as
horizontally, so the speaker can be installed at various possible angles. Use screws
and wall plugs adapted to the material of the wall. A special plastic wedge is
included to enable you to mount the speakers parallel to the wall. Without the
wedge, the speakers can be mounted under various downward vertical angles.
