These occasional noises are harmless and will not hurt
your audio system or your speakers. All electrostatic
speakers are guilty of making odd noises at one time or
another.
These noises may be caused by dirt and dust particles
collecting on the speaker, by high humidity or by AC line
fluctuations that may occur in your area.
Dirt and dust may be vacuumed off with a brush attach-
ment connected to your vacuum cleaner or you may
blow them off with compressed air.
