8.   CARE OF YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS 

 

NOTE: 

NEVER  attempt  to  open  the  cabinets.  There  are  no  user 
serviceable parts inside the loudspeakers. 

 
 

NEVER touch the diaphragms on the DDD drivers, or allow 
any object to come into contact with the diaphragms.   

 
 

Never  attempt  to  clean  dust  off  the  diaphragms.    Dust  has 
no affect on their performance and may be safely ignored. 

 

 

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.  Please use the cleaning cloths supplied with the loudspeakers.  These cloths 
should be used dry.  Do not use any liquid with them.  Additional cloths may be obtained via your local 
German Physiks dealer, national distributor or direct from German Physiks.

for the remaining period of the warranty, or for 1 year, which ever is greater. 

Any  unauthorised  modifications  or  repairs  will  invalidate  the  warranty.   The  warranty  will  also  be 
invalidated  if  German  Physiks  determines  that  the  loudspeakers  have  been  subject  to  misuse 
including,  but  not  limited  to,  burnt  out  voice  coils  and  dents  or  scratches  on  driver  diaphragms  or 
cabinets. 

There  is  no  other  express  warranty  on  German  Physiks  products.   This  warranty  shall  not  extend
