(((WARNINGS)))
WARNINGS
Never leave children unattended in your playback room. Care should be taken to prevent
accidents.
(Besides, you already know if you let them in your room uneducated and unattended they are
going to bust your needle, play catch with your discs, bend your tube pins, and write their name
on your new leather chair—good secondary reasons for spending time with ‘em. So hang with
your kids, grand kids, and neighbor kids, listen to some great music together, teach ‘em about
playback and great music. Introduce them to Lucinda Williams, The Clash, Miles, Hendrix,
Beethoven, Zeppelin, Sinatra, Rush, Silver Jews, Debussy, Woody Guthrie, Deep Purple,
Wagner, Black Keys, Marty Robbins, Kyuss, Spoon, Steve Earle, Sabbath, Velvet Underground,
Eels, CVB, Joanna Newsome, Ry Cooder, Cash, Ryan Adams, Zappa, John Prine, The Who,
Ian McKay, Zakk Wylde, Sex Pistols, Julian Cope, Alice In Chains, Legendary Pink Dots... the
Stones, Charlie Parker, Hank Williams, Elvis, Beetles and Mozart.)
CAUTION: the tweeter used in the Essence will be damaged if blown on with compressed
air, tearing the aluminum foil diaphragm. Never use compressed air on Essence without first
protecting the ribbon by masking the opening closed with tape; don’t package or transport them
without protecting the tweeters with masking tape. Avoid blowing on them. Apart from wind
damage the ribbon tweeter is a solid and a tough design, but in the event that you let your kids
play with the compressed air hose around your speakers, and a tweeter was torn, please give us
a call and we’ll get you fixed up.
The ESSENCE Bookshelf loudspeaker system is not intended for outdoor use, do not expose to
rain or moisture.
Also, we recommend unplugging your loudspeakers, main amplifier(s) and electronics during
lightning storms or when the playback system will not be used for an extended period of time.
WARNING: Electrocution through loudspeaker cable is possible, though very unlikely. Still,
to avoid electrocution make sure your amplifying gear is switched off prior to connecting
or disconnecting. This will also reduce the possibility for accidental damage to your audio
amplifier.
WARNING: Essence Bookshelf loudspeakers are moderately heavy bookshelf loudspeakers,
consider asking a buddy to assist you.
WARNING: Essence Bookshelf loudspeaker drive units create stray magnetic fields that extend
far beyond the boundaries of the cabinet. We recommend you keep magnetically sensitive
electronics and media at least two feet [.7m] from the loudspeaker.
WARNING: Essence Bookshelf loudspeakers are capable of extreme sound levels, play
responsibly. If caution is not exercised your hearing will be damaged. And your neighbors will
either hate you or want to party with you.
