For the first 10 hours play the loudspeakers at low level only.  This is a level where you would easily be 
able to carry out a conversation without needing to raise your voice.   
 
After  this,  the  loudspeakers  may  be  played  at  normal  listening  levels.    The  break  in  process  will  be 
complete after 200 to 300 hours.  
 

 

8.   CARE OF YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS 

 

NOTE:  NEVER  attempt  to  open  the  cabinets.  There  are  no  user 

serviceable parts inside the loudspeakers. 

 
 

NEVER touch the diaphragms on the DDD drivers, or allow 
any object to come into contact with the diaphragms.   

 

 

NEVER attempt to clean dust off the diaphragms.  Dust has 
no affect on their performance and may be safely ignored. 

 

 

NEVER  attempt  to  clean  the  loudspeakers  with  any 
abrasive  materials  or  any  cleaners  containing  ammonia, 
alcohol or other solvents,

 

as these may damage the finish. 

  

The  only  maintenance  the  loudspeakers  will  require  is  periodic  dusting  to  remove  dust  and  any 
fingerprints from the cabinets.  Please use the cleaning cloths supplied with the loudspeakers.  These 
cloths should be used dry. Do not use any form of liquid with them.  Additional cloths may be obtained 
via your local German Physiks dealer, national distributor or direct from German Physiks.
