NOTE: 

NEVER attempt to clean the loudspeakers with any abrasive 
materials,  or  any  cleaners  containing  ammonia,  alcohol  or 
other solvents,

 

as these may damage the finish. 

 
The only maintenance the loudspeakers will require is periodic dusting to remove dust and any finger 
prints  from  the  cabinets  and  stands.    Please  use  the  cleaning  cloth  supplied  with  the  loudspeakers.  
This cloth should be used dry. Do not use any form of liquid with it.  Additional cloths may be obtained 
from your local German Physiks dealer, national distributor or direct from German Physiks.
