this manual
We recommend that you retain the packaging in case you need to transport the
AKURATE 221 speaker at a later date.
Voltage selection
Voltage selection is not needed. Your AKURATE 221 is factory set to operate
from your local mains supply. The mains lead supplied may be fitted with a fused
plug according to local regulations. If this is the case, always replace this fuse
with another of the same type and rating.
This unit must be earthed. Use the earthed mains lead supplied.
Never use an unearthed plug or adaptor.
Positioning
The AKURATE 221 speaker can be placed anywhere you find convenient but
please consider the following points:
●
The AKURATE 221 speaker is best suited to be positioned on a floor, not
a table, shelf etc. It is heavy and must be stably supported.
●
For best results, position your AKURATE 221 speaker as close as
possible to either your left front or right front speaker.
●
Bass notes will be accentuated if the AKURATE 221 speaker is positioned
close to a wall or in a corner.
●
Experimenting with the position may be necessary in order to match the
sound of the AKURATE 221 speaker with other speakers in your system
and the acoustics of the room.
Fabric grille
The AKURATE 221 is supplied with a fabric grille. This grille is held in place by
SEKRIT-Fasteners (shielded magnets hidden within the cabinet). The grille can
easily be removed by sliding it downwards (away from the magnets) and gently
pulling it towards you.
IMPORTANT:
Do not attempt to remove the metal grille covering the driver.
Cleaning
Disconnect the AKURATE 221 speaker from the power supply before cleaning.
Remove dust and fingerprints from the cabinet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
Avoid using domestic cleaning products on the cabinet as they may damage
the veneer.
