KHARMA HIGH-END PRODUCTS  BEYOND IMAGINATION

Use common sense

If you hear distortion or loud “cracking” sounds, the amplifier or loudspeaker is 
being overdriven, turn the volume down immediately.

Burn-in

 

Your Exquisite loudspeaker system needs quite a bit of playing time to reach 
maximum result. The use of a Burn-in test-CD is recommended to speed up 
this process. With a “burn-in” test CD, like the XLO or Sheffield-lab CD, burn-
in time is reduced to approximately 50 hours. After burning-in your system, 
you can play demagnetising tracks for maximum clarity. Your system will then 
be optimised and sound more open, more detailed and display more natural 
musical warmth.

Just think of a brand new car which also has to be driven before 
reaching standard specifications. 

Taking care of your speaker

Use a soft cloth and a spray-cleaner to clean the surface. Use a slightly wet-
ted piece of foam to gently rub the cloth of the front panel. No further care is 
necessary.

In event of trouble

When you have problems with controlling the subwoofer, please first verify if 
the subwoofer is connected to the same network as the control device. 

When no music is playing, please first check if one of the mute function is used 
in the control software. Otherwise it could also help to let the subwoofer cool 
down by turning the power off for 10 minutes. 

If  you  have  been  unsuccessful  in  locating  the  specific  source  of  trouble  or 
if you have located it, but have been unable to correct it, please consult the 
Authorized  Kharma-dealer  from  whom  you  purchased  the  system.  Kharma 
Dealers are audio specialists and can be of great assistance.
