impor tant safety information
Thank you for purchasing KEF Blade speakers. They have been designed to faithfully reproduce high quality
sound over many years of use and should provide realistic reproduction of music and speech. Please take a little
time to read these instructions prior to use.
Your KEF Blade speakers are tall, slim and extremely heavy. Installed correctly on a smooth, level surface, your
speakers should be entirely safe to listen to and to live with.
However, if you live with small children, large pets, the infirm, have uneven flooring or unusually thick carpeting
in your home, then correct adjustment of the foot assemblies is imperative if safe, stable operation is to
be achieved.
Adjustment
Caution/Warning
Warning: The metal tweeter dome has a protective wave guide at the centre of the Uni-Q
if this is compromised and the dome itself is dented, it will permanently impair performance.
1. Read this manual carefully,
especially the safety information,
before attempting to assemble
and operate the system.
