neither too low nor too high. About 150 hours of play time will season your speakers.
Do not play at high volumes during this time. Please note where depending on the
model not all speakers will sound dramatically different after break-in. Some improve
only marginally, while others do change in ways that may surprise you!
Cleaning
Our cabinets are handsomely designed and assembled. We use premium hand
selected woods and specialty, durable finishes. Those with a natural wood finish may
show slight variances between the enclosures colors between the same model, this is
normal. All require little if any maintenance. Never use a furniture polish on any of our
enclosures. To remove fingerprints etc., always use a lint free, soft, dry cloth. FOR THE
FACE, USE A FEATHER DUSTER. DO NOT TOUCH THE SPEAKER CONES. If there is a stain
on the cabinet, use a soft cloth that has been slightly moistened, then use a soft dry
cloth to dry.
Speaker-Grill Faceplates
The grills have been designed to protect your speakers. They are transparent to
sound and can be kept on, this to avoid potential damage to the speakers
themselves.
Starting your Davis journey
Unpacking the contents:
All our enclosures are expertly packed. Supplied with our black lacquered enclosures
are complementary dust-free white gloves which we strongly urge you to use when
either taking out the loudspeakers from the carton or when moving them. This is our
gift to you. It avoids you placing fingerprints onto the exterior of the case needlessly.
Once you have taken the enclosures out of their shipping carton, do keep all
materials. They may come useful when moving and will protect the speakers during
transport.
Connections:
IMPORTANT : Before making any connections to the speakers with your high-fidelity
system, turn off all amplification equipment etc. It is good practice to also
disconnect the equipment from the AC power source as a precaution.
Use and Operation: Your loudspeaker needs to be connected to an amplifier to
operate and repro-duce sound, this using high quality audio cables (not supplied).
Our speaker enclosures feature multi-use connectors accepting bare wire, plug-in
Banana style or Fork style common audio connectors. Consult your Dealer for
suggestions and cable/connector types.
Speakers as do amplifiers have a 2 wire, polarity dependent connection. Red is
positive (+) both on the amplifier and the speaker, Black represents the negative (
