CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated ‘dangerous voltage’
within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

CAUTION: In Canada and the USA, to prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot in the socket and insert the plug fully
into the socket.

Important safety instructions

This product is designed and manufactured to meet
strict quality and safety standards. However, you
should be aware of the following installation and
operation precautions.

1. Take heed of warnings and instructions

It is important that you:

A. read all the safety and operating instructions

before operating this speaker.
B. keep this handbook for future reference.
C. follow all instructions and adhere to all warnings

in the handbook or on the speaker.

2. Water and moisture

Do not use this speaker near water.
The presence of electricity near water can be

dangerous – for example next to a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool, etc.

3. Object or liquid entry

Take care that objects do not fall and liquids are
not spilled, dripped or splashed into the enclosure
through any openings. Liquid-filled objects such as
vases should not be placed on the equipment.

4. Ventilation

Do not block any of the ventilation openings.
Do not place the equipment on a bed, sofa, rug or similar

soft surface, or in an enclosed bookcase or cabinet, since
ventilation may be impeded. We recommend a minimum
distance of 50mm around the sides and top of the
appliance to provide adequate ventilation.

5. Heat

Do not install the speaker near any heat producing
equipment such as radiators, stoves or other
appliances (including other amplifiers) that produce
heat.

6. Climate

The appliance has been designed for use in moderate
climates.

7. Siting the unit

The unit is not designed for placing in a rack or stand.
It should be placed directly on the floor and sited
where electrical and other leads do not cause a trip
hazard.

8. Power sources

The speaker is supplied with a market-suitable
electrical plug. Do not substitute or modify the
supplied plug – see your dealer if a replacement is
required.

This product is a Class II or double insulated electrical
appliance. It has been designed in such a way that
it does not require a safety connection to electrical
earth (U.S. = ground).

The primary method of isolating the Logo speaker
unit from the mains supply is to use the switch on
the rear of the unit. The Logo speaker unit must be
installed in a manner that makes plug disconnection
possible.

9. Power-cord protection

Power supply cords should be routed so that they
are protected against being walked on or pinched,
particularly at plugs and the point where they exit
from the speaker.

10. Protection from electrical storms

Unplug the speaker during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.

11. Abnormal smell

If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected from the
appliance, turn the power off immediately and unplug
the unit from the wall outlet. Contact your dealer
immediately.

12. Cleaning

Unplug the unit from the mains supply before cleaning.
The case should normally only require a wipe with a

soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use paint thinners or
other chemical solvents for cleaning.

We do not advise the use of furniture cleaning sprays
or polishes as they can cause indelible white marks if
the unit is subsequently wiped with a damp cloth.

13. Servicing and repair

Refer all servicing to qualified servicing personnel.
Servicing is required when: the speaker has been

damaged in any way, such as:

A. the power-supply cord or the plug has been

damaged, or

B. liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen

into the enclosure, or

C. the appliance has been exposed to rain or

moisture, or

D. the appliance does not appear to operate

normally or exhibits a marked change in
performance, or

E. the appliance has been dropped or the

enclosure damaged.

Safety compliance

This product has been designed to meet the IEC
60065 international electrical safety standard.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

... and congratulations for buying the Arcam Logo sub-bass loudspeaker system.

Logo can extend the bandwidth of your main (satellite) speakers by accurately revealing the low
frequency components of stereo and surround-sound programme sources. It also offers a separate
but concurrent LFE (low frequency effects) connection – this is a channeI intended by the recording
engineer to be exclusively reproduced by a subwoofer. Logo’s own volume control permits the level to
be adjusted independently to achieve a perfect balance in the listening room.

Logo features its own 200W amplifier which is close-coupled to a downward-facing long-excursion
driver that takes full advantage of the latest materials technology and a sophisticated braced
cabinet design. The bass response is actively corrected by a Linkwitz transform crossover circuit to
give a Bessel alignment: this minimizes time distortion for accurate bass transients. The result is a
performance of great power and musicality.

Please take a moment to read this handbook, as the advice that it contains will help you get the
maximum benefit from your purchase.

The Logo Development Team
