OWNER´S MANUAL 

 
 
Now, as always, speakers form the most 
important link in a stereo and home theater 
system. There-fore, they should be positioned 
and connected with care. It is our hope that the 
information contained within this manual will help 
you in setting up your new speakers so that they 
may provide you with many years of listening 
pleasure.

ATTENTION: 
Please read these instructions carefully and com-
pletely, since they are very important to ensure 
the best performance and the long-term 
problem-free operation.  
   
Make sure you have received with BERG or 
WEBERN your choice of the wall-mounting 
bracket or stand for free-standing positioning, 
which are both packed separately. A spike stand 
for free-standing positioning  is included with 
SCHÖNBERG.
