Loudspeaker and signal 
cables 

 

Loudspeaker  cables  and  signal  cables  (inter-connects)  have  a  significant 
influence  on  the  overall  reproduction  quality  of  your  sound  system,  and  their 
importance should not be under-estimated. For this reason 

 recommends 

the use of high-quality cables and connectors. 
Our  accessory  range  includes  a  series  of  excellent  cables  and  connectors 
whose  properties  are  carefully  matched  to  our  speakers  and  electronic  units, 
and which harmonise outstandingly well with them. 
For difficult and cramped situations the 

 range also includes special-length 

cables and special-purpose connectors (e. g. right-angled versions) which can 
be  used  to  solve  almost  any  problem  concerning  connections  and  system 
location.

 

 

 

 

Mains cables and mains 
filters 

 

The  mains  power  supply  provides  the  energy  which  your  sound  system 
equipment  needs,  but  it  also  tends  to  carry  interference  from  remote  devices 
such as radio and computer systems. 
Our  accessory  range  includes  the  specially  shielded 

'POWER  FOUR'

  mains 

cable,  ready-to-use 

'POWER  LINE'

  mains  cable  with  integrated  shell-type 

filters  and  the 

'POWER  BAR'

  mains  filter  distribution  board  which  prevent 

electro-magnetic  interference  from  entering  your  Hi-Fi  system.  The 
reproduction  quality  of  our  systems  can  often  be  further  improved  by  using 
these items. 
If you have any questions regarding cabling please refer to your specialist 

 

dealer  who  will  gladly  give  you  comprehensive  expert  advice  without  obligation. 
We would also be happy to send you our comprehensive information pack on this 
subject. 

 

 

 

Changing the batteries 

 

The battery compartment can be opened by pressing in the locking surface and 
sliding the cover down and off. Remove the old cells and fit two new dry cells of 
the 

LR 03 (MICRO)

 type in the battery compartment, taking care to fit them with 

correct  polarity.  Please  remember  that 

all the cells must be replaced

 at the 

same time. 

 

 

 

 

 

Caution! 

Batteries shout not be exposed to excessive heat like sunshine, fire or the like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Disposing of exhausted batteries: 

Exhausted batteries must never be thrown into the household waste!

 They 

should be returned to the battery vendor (specialist dealer) or your local toxic 
waste  collection  point,  so  that  they  can  be  recycled  or  disposed  in  a  proper 
way. Most local authorities provide collection centres for such waste, and some 
provide pick-up vehicles for old batteries.

 

 

 

 

Care of the unit: 

 

Always disconnect the unit from the mains supply before cleaning it. 
The surfaces of the case should be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth only. 
Never use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners! 
Before  switching  the  unit  on  again,  check  that  there  are  no  short-circuits  at  the 
connections, and that all cables are plugged in correctly.
