1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the German Physiks Ultimate loudspeakers for your audio system. The
Ultimate is a 2-way design using a single carbon fibre DDD driver and a high performance woofer
.
It is
entirely handmade and is built and tested by highly skilled technicians at our factory in Germany.
Every step in the design and manufacture of this product has been dedicated to producing a loudspeaker
that will provide a lifetime of musical enjoyment.
We strongly recommend that you read this manual before attempting to use the loudspeakers, as it will
enable you obtain the best performance from them.
2. UNPACKING YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS
NOTE: When lifting the loudspeakers out of the packing hold them
around the sides of the cabinet. Do not lift at the end of the
cabinet with the spikes, as you may damage the woofer
(figure 3).
Do not lift the loudspeakers by the DDD driver support
pillars (figure 4) as this may damage the driver.
Do not remove the shipping supports fitted in the spike
mounting holes on the base of the loudspeaker, as the
woofer may be damaged if the loudspeaker is stood up
without these fitted. Instructions for fitting the spikes follow
later in this manual.
Each Ultimate weighs approximately 29kg (64lbs) and
should not be lifted by one person alone. Always have help
when lifting a loudspeaker.
The DDD drivers may be protected with clear film. We
recommend that this be left in place until the loudspeakers
have been placed in their final location, so as to guard
against accidental damage during handling.
The Ultimate is supplied with each loudspeaker packed separately in a double carton. This must be kept
horizontal as shown in figure 1. Before opening the cartons, please inspect them for damage. If you see
any damage, please contact the supplying audio dealer immediately and provide them with a full
description of the damage. Do not attempt to unpack the loudspeakers until you have spoken with the
dealer and have been advised how to proceed.
To unpack the loudspeakers please follow the instructions below:
NOTE: When cutting the sealing tape on the inner and outer
cartons make sure that the cutter blade does not penetrate
more than 1cm into the carton.
1. Place the carton upright as shown in figure 1 and carefully cut the sealing tape.
