Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing Monitor Audio loudspeakers. We are confident
they will provide a reliable, high performance sound for many years.
Monitor Audio are a highly respected member of the ‘Guild of Master Craftsmen’
and we have over 30 years of experience in the art of traditional wood working
techniques and leading edge drive unit technology. This marriage of old and
new brings you the Bronze Reference Series.
At Monitor Audio we pride ourselves in our ability to make the listening
experience as close as possible to the original ‘music’ production.
This is all achieved by only using quality components developed by our award
winning team, and manufactured to very strict standards and tolerances.

Safety Instructions

1. Read Instructions

Please read and follow all of the instructions in this manual before enjoying you
loudspeakers. Any instructions proceeded by this warning triangle MUST be
followed. Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage the speakers.

2. Water & Moisture

The loudspeakers should not be used near water - for example, bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, washing machine, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool. Under no circumstance should plants or fish bowls be placed
on the products.

3. Heat

The speaker/s should not be placed near any heat source such as radiators,
open fires, stoves, direct sunlight and any other appliance that produces heat.
These speakers are designed for use within the home environment. Exposure to
extreme temperatures & humidity when placed on patios or open conditions
could adversely affect the wooden cabinet.

4. Cleaning

Great care and attention has gone into the materials chosen to produce the
Bronze BR loudspeakers. It is our intention that they should provide a lifetime
of musical pleasure. A gentle wipe with a dry, clean cloth is all that is required
to remove any dust. Treat them as you would a fine piece of furniture because
that is how they have been designed. Avoid touching the loudspeaker’s drive
units whilst cleaning, as any damage will impair their performance.
