We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud
noise is often undetectable until it is too late,
THIEL
Loudspeakers and the Electronics Industries Manufacturers
Association recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. Depending on room size and amplifier
power, some home audio systems can reach sound pressure levels in excess of 95 decibels with peaks of over a 105
decibels. For your protection, the list below identifies sound levels for various noises.

CABINET FINISH CARE
THIEL Loudspeakers wood cabinets possess a high quality lacquer finish that is both beautiful and durable. However, any
wood finish can be damaged by excessive moisture, dryness, or direct sunlight. When cleaning your speakers, avoid using
oils, waxes, or polishes that contain silicone, such as Pledge or Johnson’s. We recommend using Endust.
