Minimum clearances

Sufficient cooling for the amplifier and function-
ing of the reflex port must be ensured if the 
loudspeaker is installed in a restricted space 
such  as  a  cabinet  or  integrated  into  a  wall 
structure. The surroundings of the loudspeak-
er must always be open to the listening room 
with a minimum clearance of 5 centimeters (2”) 
behind, above and on both sides of the loud-
speaker. The space adjacent to the amplifier 
must either be ventilated or sufficiently large to 
dissipate heat so that the ambient temperature 
does not rise above 35 degrees Celsius (95°F) 

Mounting options

The  6020A  offers  several  mounting  options:  
The  Iso-Pod™  (Isolation  Positioner/Decou-
pler™) vibration insulating table stand allows 
tilting  the  loudspeaker  for  correct  alignment 
of the acoustic axis. On the base of the loud-
speaker is a 3/8” UNC threaded hole compat-
ible with a standard microphone stand. On the 
rear there are two M6x10 mm threaded holes 
for Omnimount

®

 size 20.5 brackets or the key-

hole wall mount adapter provided with the loud-
speaker.

Maintenance

No user serviceable parts are to be found within 
the amplifier unit. Any maintenance or repair of 
the 6020A unit should only be undertaken by 
qualified service personnel. 

Safety considerations

Although the 6020A has been designed in ac-
cordance with international safety standards, 
the  following  warnings  and  cautions  should 
be observed to ensure safe operation and to 

maintain the loudspeaker under safe operating 
conditions:
 
•  Servicing and adjustment must only be  
  performed by qualified service personnel.  
  The loudspeaker must not be opened.
•  Do not use this product with an unearthed  
  mains cable or an unearthed mains  
  connection as this may compromise  
  electrical safety.
•  Do not expose the loudspeaker to water or  
  moisture. Do not place any objects filled with 
  liquid, such as vases on the loudspeaker or  
  near it. 
•  This loudspeaker is capable of producing  
  sound pressure levels in excess of 85 dB,  
  which may cause permanent hearing  
  damage.
•  Free flow of air behind the loudspeaker is  
  necessary to maintain sufficient cooling.  
  Do not obstruct airflow around the  
  loudspeaker.
•  Note that the amplifier is not completely  
  disconnected from the AC mains service  
  unless the mains  power cord is removed  
  from the amplifier or the mains outlet.

Guarantee

This product is guaranteed for a period of one
