User precautions
The TNV tweeter is made up of a relatively soft aluminum/magnesium alloy and
has a “shape memory” that enables it to rapidly take its initial shape again after
slight impacts. However we advise you not to remove the speaker grille in order to
keep the dome protected. If the dome surface is damaged, tweeter performance
may be compromised.
As the loudspeaker’s covering materials are strong, scratch- and stain-resistant,
maintenance is easy and consists only in cleaning the covering with a dry cloth. If
the enclosure is stained, we simply recommend the use of a damp cloth.
Never use any solvents, detergents, alcohol or corrosive products, scrap-pers or
scouring powder to clean the surface of the loudspeaker.
Avoid placing the loudspeakers near a heat source.
About amplifiers
Contrary to what one might think, it is not a too powerful amplifier that might damage a loudspeaker, but rather a lack
of power. Actually if the output level of the amplifier is too high it will saturate and distort which will irremediably damage
the tweeter.
The power handling and frequency response of the Chorus loudspeakers is good enough to highlight the qualities or weak
points of the amplifiers they are combined with. Let your retailer help you make the right choice, matching your personal
taste and budget.
Cable
Don’t underestimate the importance of the cable: make sure you chose the appropriate section and length. Let your retailer
advise you.
