Safety notes
Caution icons
You will find the following caution icons in these instructions:
Danger
High risk!
Failure to observe the warning may result in
severe personal injury or death.
Attention
Moderate risk!
Failure to observe the warning may result in
property damage.
Minor risk!
Points which should be observed when handling the unit.
Safety notes
Danger
Danger to children!
Children can become trapped in the packing
film when playing and suffocate.
• Do not allow children to play with the unit or the packing film. Danger of suffocation.
• Ensure that children do not remove small parts from
the unit or take them off of the unit (e.g. control knobs
or plug adapters). They could swallow the parts and
choke.
Never allow children to operate electrical devices
unsupervised.
Danger to hearing!
Loud noise may lead to hearing loss.
Particularly when the subwoofer has been set
to maximum volume and the unit is activated, very high
noise pressure may suddenly be produced. This may
have psychological consequences and also cause physical injury. Children and pets are particularly at risk.
• Set your signal source unit volume control to a low
setting.
• When the volume is set high, always keep a certain
distance from the unit and never place your ear directly
on the speaker.
• To avoid damage to health, avoid extended listening at
high volume.
Danger
Danger of injury/damage!
Incorrect location may result in damage.
• Never use the unit unmounted in vehicles, in unstable
locations, on wobbly stands or furniture, on underdimensioned brackets etc. The speakers could tip or
fall down and cause injury to persons or be damaged.
• Place the speakers in such a way that they cannot be
knocked over unseen and make sure that the cables do
not pose a trip hazard.
• Carefully follow the installation instructions.
• If mounting the speakers on the wall, make sure that
the job is carried out by a professional.
• Only use suitable wall holders to mount the speakers.
Verify the carrying capacity of the walls.
• Do not place the unit near sources of heat (e.g. heaters, ovens, other heat generating equipment such as
amplifiers etc.).
Attention
Fire hazard!
Improper use may lead to damage or fire.
• Do not place open flames such as burning candles or
similar on the unit.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.
• Only use the unit in indoor areas.
• Do not operate the unit in moist areas and protect it
from drops of water and splash water.
Also take care not to stand vases or other containers
filled with liquid on or near the unit in order to avoid
liquid getting into the housing.

Unpacking and setup
Open the boxes carefully, take out the half shell EPE
packaging foam and carefully lift the speaker out of the
box without touching the diaphragms.
Connector cables
Due to differing customer requirements, these
speakers are shipped without connector cables.
You can purchase appropriate cables in our web shop in
the “Accessories” area.
Check to be sure
• Check that all items have been delivered and that noth-
ing is damaged.
• If the delivery exhibits transport damages, do not use
the speakers; instead
consult our service department
(see page 3).
Location tips
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free from
dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in
direct sunlight.
• Arrange the connector cables so that they do not pose
a trip hazard.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or the
speakers.
The following data concern an “ideal home cinema”,
in which the listener sits in a central position at a sufficient distance in front of the speakers (see the adjacent
graphic) and no objects (tables or the like) are located
in between. Unfortunately, the room, furnishings or other
circumstances do not always allow for optimum arrangement.
Modern amplifiers offer a variety of possibilities for
electronically compensating losses associated with the
arrangement. The following general rule applies: You can
always experiment on what works best in your listening
room in terms of sound and appearance based on our
recommendations. Let your ears (and eyes) be the judge!
Stereo triangle
Left speaker
Right spea-
ker
The speakers should be situated to the left and right of
the listener and if possible, form an equilateral triangle
with the listener – the so-called stereo triangle (distance
from the listener = distance between the speakers). The
speakers should project sound directly into the room or
be arranged slightly towards the listener.
Shelves and sideboards, for example, are ideal locations
for the speakers.
If you want to mount the speakers on the wall, you can
find appropriate holders in our web shop. They are
mounted using the packing screw M 6 which is located
in the speaker base. You can also find suitable speakers
stands in our web shop.
Removing the cover grill
Attention
Risk of damage!
Make sure that you do not touch the highly
sensitive diaphragms.
You can remove the cover
grill from the speakers by
carefully reaching behind
the protective grid and
slowly pulling it off to the
front.
When the cover grills are
removed, high frequency
output becomes clearer in
particular.
When reattaching the
grids, ensure that the installation pins slide into the corresponding holes on the speaker.

Connecting
Connection variations
A connector terminal with four
terminal clips is located on the
back side of the speakers. Here
you can connect the speaker
cables directly or with pin plugs.
We only describe the direct con-
nection in these instructions.
The terminals are each marked in
red (+) and black (-).
Connecting the cables
Danger
Danger of injury/damage!
Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a
trip hazard.
1. Turn off your amplifier.
2. Lay the speaker cables from your amplifier to each
speaker. These cables should be high-quality doublewire speaker cable with marked strands. The diameter
should amount to at least 1.5 mm
2
.
Make sure the polarity is correct!
Connect the same-colour terminals of your
speakers and amplifier with each other. Otherwise the sound quality will suffer. The individual single
wires of the speaker cables are marked with different
colours or shapes to facilitate the process.
3. Split the single wire down to approx. 30 mm on both
ends and strip approx. 10 mm of insulation off of each
cord. Twist the stripped single wire ends together so
that no wire protrudes.
4. Turn the connector terminals counterclockwise until
loose. Run the stripped single wire ends into the holes
that are now visible. Turn the terminal clockwise until
closed.
The cable has now been clamped in place.
5. Connect the speaker cables to your amplifier. The
operating instructions of the appliance should contain
notes on this.

Care and cleaning
The veneered surfaces of our speakers have a protective
surface coat, which eliminates the need for wood polish.
• You can best remove dust or small amounts of dirt with
a dry, smooth leather cloth.
• Rub off stubborn dirt with a damp cloth. Make sure
that no liquids penetrate the speakers.
• Then immediately wipe the surfaces dry using a soft
cloth and without applying pressure.
Attention
Risk of damage!
Using the wrong cleaning materials may damage the delicate surface of the case.
• If possible only use lukewarm, plain water without any
cleaning products. In case of stubborn marks, a mild
soap solution may be used.
• In no circumstances should caustic cleaning products,
white spirit, thinners, petrol or similar be used for
cleaning.
Disposal of the unit
Used units must not be disposed of with household waste!
If the unit is no longer operational, every consumer is required by law to dispose of used
devices separate from household waste,
e. g. at a collection point run by the communal authority
Protecting the environment
borough. In this way, used devices can be recycled and
waste materials disposed of in an environmentally friendly m anner.
For this reason, electrical equipment is labelled with the
displayed symbol.
