CLIMATE AND TRANSPORTATION

Routine temperature extremes (such as cold garages) will not harm your
Eden cabinet. You should, however, allow the system to adjust to room
temperature before playing it at loud volumes. If your cabinet is going to be
bounced around severely during transportation, it is best to avoid loading it
with the speaker cones facing down, as this puts added stress on the screws
that secure the speakers in the cabinet.

THE MAGIC SMOKE

Few people realize just how much magic goes into creating 

Great Bass

Tone

. It isn’t something you normally need worry about. Just have fun and

leave all that to us. However – 

and this is very important

 – if you ever

release the Magic Smoke from your speaker, this is indeed a 

Very Bad

Thing

, perhaps the worst thing you can do. If you see any smoke (Magic or

otherwise) coming out of your cabinet, immediately turn it off and seek the
services of a qualified magician…uhm, we mean…technician. 

DO NOT

continue to use the speaker system in this condition

.
