TECHNOLOGY
Qln Prestige One is designed using all the know-how we at Qln have acquired
from producing highly prestigious speakers since 1979, combined with cutting edge
measurements and long critical listening sessions. The speakers are assembled
in Gothenburg, Sweden, the cabinets are made by skilled artisans with careful
selection of the materials used and with strict checks carried out during the work
in progress.This is a guarantee for speaker excellence and inalterability over time.
All the components are carefully selected, the drivers are made by Scan-Speak to
our specifications, crossover components and terminal post are from Germany
and are made with great care using high quality components and maximum atten-
tion to the signal route.
1. Unpacking and maintenance
Your speaker should be treated with the same care as you would treat a piece
of furniture. Use a piece of soft cloth and a small quantity of warm soapy water
to clean the loudspeakers. Avoid touching the cone of the bass unit or the treble
dome since this may leave a mark or damage the dome and spoil its performance.
After unpacking, we suggest you retain all packing material for future transports.
2. Break-in
As with all high-quality loudspeaker systems, the musical performance of your Qln
loudspeakers will improve over an initial break-in period.
Please allow your new speakers to play a minimum 50 hours of music at normal
listening levels before doing any critical listening. Up to 200-300 hours break-in
will be needed for the speaker to reach it’s fully potential of great sound.
3. Stability
Use a stable speaker stand, if possible apply damping material if the stand allows.
Damping the stands is normally a substantial improvement of the sound. Stands
are often delivered with four spikes for acoustical isolation and height adjustment.
To obtain proper mechanical coupling to the floor, adjust until all four spikes have
equal contact. In some cases, if you have a very soft or weak floor, it can be better
to de-couple the speaker from the floor by soft damping pads between the speak-
er and the stand.
