The power recommendation for the system assumes you will operate the amplifier in a way that will not
produce distortion. All speakers can be damaged by a modest amplifier if it is producing distortion. If you
hear a gritty noise or other signs of strain, turn down the volume. Prolonged or repeated operation of
your speakers with a distorted signal can cause damage that is not covered by the warranty.

For Black or White Painted Finishes
Including fronts, backs, bases, and metal grilles.
➤
Use a soft terry cloth towel slightly dampened with water or a mild detergent. The towel should be just
damp enough to wipe the surface clean without leaving a trail of moisture.
➤
Do not use abrasive cleaners or any cleaner containing chemicals harsher than those found in glass
cleaner.
For Oiled Natural Wood Finishes
To remove dust and fingerprints, use the same technique as above.
➤
If your veneer begins to dry, apply a light coat of rose or lemon wood oil. This should return the wood
to its original richness.
➤
Do not use spray waxes. These will create a buildup and eventually cause the veneer to appear dull
and lifeless.
Note:
Your veneer’s appearance and color will mature and perhaps darken over time.
➤
Avoid placing speakers in extreme conditions. If direct sunlight is unavoidable, be sure that there is
nothing partially covering the veneer in order to prevent ”tan lines“.
➤
Avoid placing speakers where they could be subjected to standing water. It can cause the wood to
swell, breaking apart glue joints and ruining the air seal.
Grilles
You can remove the grilles from the speaker system and wipe with a damp cloth to remove any dust.
