Perhaps more than any other hi-fi product, speakers are sensitive to installation
so please take a little time to read this manual and to follow, as far as practical,
the installation guidelines it contains. Careful installation will help ensure that
your Aegis Neo Subwoofer performs optimally. Should you have any questions not
covered here we are happy to try and answer them either by telephone or email.
Contact information can be found in Section 11.
The Aegis Neo Subwoofer is a relatively delicate
precision engineered product that can be damaged
by inappropriate handling. It is also large and heavy.
Please take great care therefore when unpacking or
moving it. Plan any handling in advance of carrying
it out - ideally with a second person to help. Please
take care when unpacking or moving the subwoofer
not to touch the driver. Damage to a driver will at best
degrade the Aegis Neo Subwoofer’s performance and
at worst result in its complete failure.
The enclosure surfaces should also be handled
sympathetically. Any cleaning should only require a
soft cloth, slightly dampened if necessary. Do not use
any polishes or solvent based cleaning agents.
The packaging should be retained for future use.

levels of low frequency sound, so please also be
considerate of your neighbours.
