4.5. Break-in period
Although all Estelon speakers have an initial “break-in” at the
factory, due to shipping conditions and pressure/temperature changes
that may have been incurred, the speakers will need to go through an
additional “break-in” process before their final set-up. All the
mechanical and electrical connections will stabilize naturally after
playing a continuous music signal for approx. 24 hours – e.g. use a
digital source on repeat mode. After the initial “break-in” period, you
can start setting up the sound according to Alfred Vassilkov’s
recommendations. Please note that the speakers should reach their
optimum level of performance after about 300-400 hours of use.
5. TAKING CARE OF YOUR ESTELON SPEAKERS
The multi-coated finish applied to Estelon speakers is
considered the most advanced automotive finish available. It is
extremely strong and durable. In order to maintain the speakers’
immaculate appearance, special cleaning cloths are provided with
your Estelon loudspeakers. Please note that only dry cleaning is
allowed. Do not wash the speakers. In case of a smudge/spot, please
use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the smudges before the final
finishing with the special cloths that accompany the speakers. For the
Liquid Gloss finish, please use only the polishing cloth included in the
flight case. Please do not apply polishing to the speaker drivers. The use
of other materials can damage, scratch, or destroy the finish.
