CLEANING

CLEANING OF HIGH GLOSS LACQUER SURFACES

We recommend to regularly clean high gloss color–coated surfaces
(for ex. horns) with a dry soft fabric (duster) or a Rouge–brush.

To remove f inger prints and dirty spots we recommend the use of
glass detergent.

To remove small scratches we recommend the use of automotive
waxes and polishing compounds for cars. Please proceed carefully
and strictly follow the cleaning instructions of the manufacturer.

Do not touch the membranes while cleaning the horns!

To be on the safe side: f irst apply glass detergent, waxes or
polisher on the backside of the horns to test the result!

Avoid scratching the horns with dirty fabrics and never use
aggressive detergents or abrasives!

CLEANING OF SATIN-FINISHED LACQUER SURFACES

We recommend to regularly clean satin f inished color– coated
surfaces (for ex. subwoofer body) with a dry soft fabric (duster) or a
Rouge–brush.

To remove f inger prints and dirty spots we recommend the use of
glass detergent.

Do not use waxes or polisher!

CLEANING OF METAL SURFACES

Clean the powder coated and anodized surfaces of the f rame parts
with a regular duster or slightly moisted (i.e. by glass detergent)
piece of cloth.
