Caring for Auditioner Playback System III

Cleaning Auditioner

®

 Playback System III

You should keep the Auditioner playback system dust free, which you can do by dusting it 
with a dry cloth.  If you want to clean the chin rest between users, use a commercial, non-
abrasive household cleaner.

Note: 

You cannot replace the chin rest on the Auditioner playback system. If cleaned with a 

standard household cleaner, the chinrest should not wear or degrade over time.

Under no circumstances should you place the Auditioner playback system in water or use 
excessive amounts of liquid to clean the unit.  Avoid placing any cleaners or liquids near the 
back of the unit or the loudspeakers.

Packing and transporting Auditioner

®

 Playback System III

The Auditioner playback system has been designed to be easy to transport.  It comes with a 
sturdy carrying case that includes handles on the top and sides.  There are wheels on the 
bottom and a retractable handle to make it easy to pull along with you.

Note that the unit weighs about 35 lbs (16 kg) inside the case, so be certain to take care when 
moving or picking up the case.  We recommend shipping the product ahead of your visit to a 
customer site using a standard shipping company.  When traveling on an airplane, Auditioner 
playback system should be checked with the airline.  It is not designed to be a carry-on item.

When you store the Auditioner playback system, make sure the chin rest is pushed down as 
low as it can go so that it will fit into the carrying case.  The case includes slots for your 
cables and power cord.  The padded interior has been designed to protect the Auditioner 
playback system from minor jolts and drops.  However, care should be taken to protect the 
unit during travel.

Carrying Auditioner

®

 Playback System III

When you remove the Auditioner playback system from its case, hold the unit by the handle 
on the back. If you need to carry multiple units, always carry them by the handles.

When lifting Auditioner playback system off of a table, raise the unit until the rubber feet lift off 
the table.  As soon you are able, grab the unit by the handle to transport it beyond the table.  
You can also safely move the unit by grabbing the two outer vertical arms that link the base to 
the loudspeakers.  Be sure to hold the unit by both of these arms.

WARNING: 

Never pick up the Auditioner playback system by the high frequency or low 

frequency loudspeakers.

Storing Auditioner

®

 Playback System III

When you are not using the Auditioner playback system for an extended period of time, we 
recommend that you store it in its carrying case. This protects Auditioner playback system 
from spills, dust, and other environmental factors that could harm the unit.
