ENGLISH
• This instruction manual must be read carefully and kept in an accessible location for any needs that
may arise.
• Adjust the stand support feet, when used, in such a way as to obtain the best possible stability.
• Avoid placing heavy objects upon the loudspeaker, as these can compromise its stability.
• If the loudspeakers are to be positioned upon a raised support surface (e.g. mezzanines, wooden
boosters, etc.), check beforehand to make sure that the surface is capable of bearing the weight.
Also make sure that there is sufficient friction to prevent the loudspeakers from moving due to the
vibrations from it generated under normal operating conditions.
• Do not place any objects containing flammable liquids, substances, or liquefiable substances upon
the loudspeaker.
• Use one of the connection diagrams contained in this instruction manual. The connection of two or
more loudspeakers in parallel can damage your amplifier. If in doubt, contact your dealer.
• Avoid staying in close proximity to the loudspeakers while the audio system is operating at high
volume. This can cause permanent damage to your hearing. Children must be kept at a safety distance
of least 50 cm from the loudspeaker.
• The speakers generate an electromagnetic field that is harmless to humans and pets, but can
compromise the proper functionality of electronic equipment, such as CRT monitors or TVs, when
placed in close proximity. If this occurs, increase the equipment’s distance from the loudspeakers. Do
not place credit cards or other similar magnetic stripe cards on the loudspeaker.
• The technology underlying the speakers’ functionality is based on the principles of electromagnetism,
and the user should therefore avoid operating equipment that generates strong electromagnetic fields,
as these could affect the loudspeaker’s proper functionality. Avoid placing transmitting devices such
as mobile phones, cordless phones, intercom systems etc. on top of the loudspeakers.
• Do not connect the loudspeakers directly to a constant voltage sound distribution system (100 V, 70.7
V or similar). This could result in a serious system overload, with possible damage to the loudspeaker
and/or the amplifier.
• Do not place audio cables and electrical power cables in close proximity to one another. An
electromagnetic field is present in the vicinity of the power cables, which can cause an unpleasant
humming noise. If this should occur, move the audio cables and electrical power cables away from
each other.
