Operating the device
The Artis subwoofers can be used for different purposes, but it's important to be aware of the following
information beforehand in order to achieve optimal performance.
Warning before use
Devine's Artis subwoofers are capable of producing volume levels that can cause temporary or permanent
hearing damage. Use these units with care and keep the volume at a reasonable level when possible. The
volume should ideally be set to a comfortable level when listening to music.
Devine cannot be held liable for any injuries or damage resulting from the use of this product.
General use
Housing
The Artis subwoofer has a housing made of wood with a black, textured coating designed to keep scratches
and light damage to a minimum during transport and use. In order to keep your subwoofer in optimal
condition for even longer, the use of a separately-available cover is recommended.
Fixed handles
The Artis subwoofers are all equipped with metal handles which makes it easier to pick them up and
transport them. The handles must not be used for installation purposes.
Protection during transport
While the Artis subwoofers can be transported, they are not waterproof and caution is therefore advised if
they taken outside during rain or in adverse weather conditions. If they are exposed to moisture in any form,
ensure that they are completely dry again before use. Failure to do so may result in a short circuit which
could cause permanent damage or injury. Exposure to moisture can also cause visible or invisible corrosion
which may cause damage in the long term.
Grille
The Artis subwoofers are equipped with a metal grille on the front that protects the speaker components
behind. The grille should not be removed by the user. The acoustic foam behind the grille keeps the
components safe from moisture, dust and other small particles.
Pole mount
The subwoofer is equipped with a 35 mm pole mount so that a speaker can be mounted on top using a
speaker pole. Not only does this ensure optimal use of space and a tidy speaker system setup, but it also
helps the higher frequencies reach a wider audience by dispersing them over a wider area and, because the
subwoofer is on the floor, the lower frequencies are better represented too.
When placing the subwoofer, make sure that it's not in the way, that it doesn't block any routes and that it
can't be knocked over.
The pole mount has a maximum capacity of 30 kg which is more than sufficient for most (active) full-range
speakers up to and including 15 inches.
Audio technology
The Artis subwoofers feature the very latest in audio technology. By adhering to the following tips and
instructions, you can make the most of everything this speaker has to offer for the very best audio and
performance quality possible.
