UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS

Your Estelon Extreme loudspeakers come packaged with each module in 4 separate flight
cases – we strongly recommend keeping these cases for possible future use / transport.
Bring the four flight cases for unpacking as close as possible to the speakers positioning
point*. Due to the substantial weight and slippery surface of the loudspeakers we suggest
that three (3) persons assist in the unpacking and positioning of them for listening.

Contents of the four (4) flight cases:

- Pair of loudspeakers:

• 2 Lower Modules

• 2 Upper Modules

- 4 Cloth bags to protect the speaker finish

- Belts for upper module positioning (#11 and #12)

- 1 Accessories box (#1):

• 8 Loudspeaker feet with 8 adapters (#8)

• 1 Key for tweeter adjustment (#7)

• 1 Screw driver

• 1 User’s manual

• 3 Pairs of gloves and 1 Polishing cloth

- 1 Toolbox for speakers’ positioning (#2):

• 3 Lifting tools

EXTREME USER MANUAL 3

Recommended positioning point:

The positioning of the speakers in the room must be symmetrical in order to achieve a bal­anced sound stage – this is very important in a narrow room. Expect the distance between
the speakers to be approximately 3 - 6 m (10 - 20 ft), depending on the size of the room
and its reverberation characteristics.

When positioning the speakers in your room, if possible, it is desirable to allow for “free”
space around the speakers so as to assist in minimizing sound reflections from walls,
furniture etc. This will help in achieving correct tonality, realistic imaging, focus and
dynamics. The recommended minimum distance between the speaker and the nearest
reflection point is 1.2 m (4 ft).

The distance between the back wall and the speaker should not be less than 1 m (3,2 ft) and
the distance from the speakers’ front to the back and side walls must not be too similar.

The best listening point: the distance between your ears and the floor should be approx. 1 m
(4,2 ft), the distance between the listener and the speakers should be similar to the distance
between the two speakers.

The recommended speaker’s direction is approximately 5°-7°, off axis, towards the listening
position.

4 EXTREME USER MANUAL

Start with unpacking the Lower Module:

For unpacking, please follow the instructions described below and as shown in the
drawings.

NB! Please wear gloves supplied in the Accessories box when the cloth bags are removed
from the speakers.

1. Unlock / Open all eight locks on the flight case cover. This should only be done with
the speaker / flight case in a horizontal position.

2. Carefully lift the cover off the flight case and put it aside.

3. Remove Accessories Box (#1), Toolbox (#2), Controller (#3) and a package with
softening mats (#4) from the flight case.

4. Do not touch drivers – note the warning stickers.

5. Gently, with one person lifting the flight case, and another person supporting the
speaker, elevate the flight case with the speaker to a vertical position. Please mind
the plywood platform (#6) - protect your feet.

6. Now in an upright position, one person supporting the speaker, and two other
persons on each side of the speaker pulling the speaker from bottom edges, slowly
roll the speaker out of the flight case. Roll the speaker as close as possible to
the right position.

7. Remove the cloth bag.

8. Remove the top plate (#9).

9. Place the mat (#4) to the cabinet’s top as shown in the drawing using the
tape supplied.
