The appearance and performance of the Model 2Ce Signa-
ture II can be enhanced by observing a few precautions and
performing some simple maintenance.
The input jacks on the Model 2Ce Signature II and the
banana plugs should be cleaned periodically with alcohol or a
solution made specifically for cleaning electrical contacts. A
cotton swab with a small amount of cleaning solution on it
can be used to clean inside the input jacks. Other connection
points in the system should be cleaned as recommended by
the equipment’s manufacturer.
The grille cloth on the Model 2Ce Signature II can be
vacuumed using a brush attachment that will not snag the
cloth. The top should be treated as a piece of fine furni-
ture. The wood veneers are oiled at the factory and can
be maintained with a light application of Pledge or a
similar product.
Care must be taken that objects that could mar the
finish are not placed on top of the speaker. The speaker
should not be exposed to excessive direct sunlight which
can damage the fit and finish of the veneer.

In the unlikely event that one of your speakers should re-
quire service, please follow these procedures.
1. Verify that the problem is with the speaker by switching
the left and right speakers. If the problem follows the
speaker, it is in the speaker. If the problem does not fol-
low the speaker, it is in the system before the speaker.
2. Connect the tweeter/midrange input and bass inputs sepa-
rately to determine which section of the speaker has the
problem
3. Contact Vandersteen Audio. Describe the problem
and the steps you have taken to isolate the problem
to the speaker. A return authorization form will be
sent to you.
4. When you receive the return authorization form, re
turn the damaged or defective loudspeaker to
Vandersteen Audio packed in its original box. Pack
the filled-out return authorization form in the box
with the speaker.
To prevent physical or cosmetic damage, the Model 2Ce
Signature II should always be properly packed in its original
box prior to transportation or shipment. Please follow these
instructions when packing the Model 2Ce Signature II.
1. Turn the speaker upside-down on a carpeted surface and
remove the base.
2. Pull the plastic bag down over the speaker.
3. Slide the inner liner over the speaker.
4. Fit one of the end trays into the end of the inner liner
with the open area of the end tray facing away from
the speaker
.
5. Holding the flaps out, slide the outer box over the inner
liner all the way to the floor.
6. Carefully turn the box right-side up.
7. Close the plastic bag and place the remaining end tray
into the inner liner as was done in step 4.
8. Close the flaps on the outer box and seal with strong
tape.
Speakers must be spaced away from the
ends of the outer box. If both ends trays are
not available, space the speaker away from
the ends of the box with cardboard or a
similar protective material.
The open areas of the end trays must
always face away from the speaker.
The flat surfaces of the end trays
must be against the speaker.
