Breaking-
in”
your loudspeakers
Your loudspeakers have been designed for the ultimate in listening pleasure and
fidelity and have been tested at the factory both before assembly and after. Having
said this, there is a break-in period and with some models they may sound a bit harsh
during your first audition. Do not worry as this is normal. A speaker is an electro-
mechanical device and as is the case with such a device the extrusion and
movement of the cone comes into play as these moving parts move more freely
over time. Two components may particularly benefit from a break-in period: The
surround, which can be made of various types of rubber or foam that holds the edge
of the cone to the speaker basket, and the spider, which connects the basket and
the center of the cone. Both are flexible and therefore allowing them first to
experience their full range of motion and when they loosen up this results in free
movement and better response. The most enjoyable way to break-in your speakers is
to simply play them, choosing music with a wide dynamic range. Adjust the volume
