Avoid bringing external metal objects
close to the loudspeaker. The tweeter
contains very strong magnets and close
contact with metal objects can cause
damage.
The loudspeakers may be damaged due
to distorted output signals from too

Let the speaker reach room temperature
before plugging it in. Condensation
may arise in the electronic circuitry
when moving the speaker from cold to
warm surroundings. Such moisture may
damage the speaker’s components.
To protect the surface, please wear
protective gloves when handling
the loudspeaker.
Never use the product in damp environments. Do not insert foreign objects into
the speaker's bass reflex ports.
Avoid touching the speaker elements.
Clean the surface of the loudspeakers
Do not expose the cabinets to direct sunlight.

The Børresen audio engineering team are grateful and congratulates you for your choice of the Børresen loudspeakers.
We are convinced that you will enjoy the exquisite music experience just as intimate and close as it was originally
performed by the artist themselves.
Børresen Acoustics’ philosophy is to bring people closer to the music by creating access to great, authentic and
emotional music experiences. Børresen believes that everyone deserves these kinds of wonderful moments. The
Børresen C series has been designed on the solid foundation of Børresen Acoustics’ development traditions, design
philosophy and technological know-how.

The membrane
Michael Børresen and his team of experts were able to
leverage the cutting-edge technology and development
process of the Børresen C series membrane. This
exclusive membrane was engineered to achieve
the stringent technological demands for exceptional
high-end membrane performance, it was imperative to
create, develop and assemble all components in-house.
The C series membrane consists of three layers
between. The combination of these materials gives
this membrane its unique properties. The spread-tow
reduces sound-disturbing vibrations and resonances to
unprecedented levels.
The magnetic motor system
Børresen uses double copper caps on the pole rings

of these double copper caps was adopted from higher

and the extent to which electromagnetic resonance
is reduced.Consequently, lower inductance results in
fewer spikes on the impedance curve, which ultimately

from N52 Neodymium – the strongest magnetic
material available.

The C1 loudspeaker stands are designed to support
the Børresen C1 speakers in the best possible way
