105.0 RUNNING-INLike any mechanical system, a loudspeaker requires a “running-in” period to perform at its best. You will experience a gradual increase in sound quality during the irst period of use. the break-in period will vary depending on use and playback volume. You should expect up to 100 hours of playback until maximum performance is reached. unlike other mechanical systems, the life-span of a loudspeaker is increased by normal, regular playback of music.6.0 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCEclean the cabinets with a soft, dry cloth. If the cabinets are dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in all-purpose cleaner and then well wrung out. Be very careful when wiping the speaker cones, as they are very fragile. Front grilles can be cleaned with a clothes brush and wiped with a wellwrung, lint-free cloth and mild all-purpose cleaner.6.1 AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT:the surfaces of the speakers may fade or become discoloured over time when exposed to direct sunlight. therefore avoid positioning the speakers in direct sunlight.7.0 DISPOSALIf you want to dispose of this product, do not mix it with general household waste. there is a separate collection system for used electronic products in accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling. Private households in the Eu member states, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Norway may return their used electronic products free of charge to designated collection facilities or to a retailer (if you purchase a similar new one). If you reside in countries not mentioned above, please contact your local authorities for the correct method of disposal. By following this process, you will ensure that your disposed product undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the environment and human health.8.0 POWER AND ACOUSTIC PRESSUREHow loud a speaker is able to play and still sound good is completely dependent on the signal it has to reproduce. So, in practice, it is not possible to deine an unequivocal level for use in comparing different speakers.Lots of pure, undistorted output from a large ampliier is better than a distorted signal from a small ampliier stretched beyond its capacity. the signal from a distorting (clipping) ampliier contains much more high-frequency information than an undistorted signal, and therefore puts a heavy strain on the tweeter. consequently, speakers are often damaged by small ampliiers, having to work too hard - and very rarely by large ampliiers, which are practically running idle.
