vents on the device. It may come
into contact with high-voltage
components or cause a short circuit
which may lead to fire or electric
shock. Never get liquid on the device.
12. Never try to repair this device
yourself; opening the device may
expose you to high-voltages and
other risks. For any maintenance
or repairs, contact a qualified
professional.
13. When it's necessary to replace
components, make sure the
technician uses the components
specified by the manufacturer or
ones which have exactly the same
characteristics as the original.
Components which aren't compliant
may cause a fire, an electric shock or
other accidents.
14. After any repairs or an
intervention on the device, ask the
technician to test the equipment
in order to check that the product

15. The device must not be mounted
to a wall or ceiling unless intended by
the manufacturer.
16. In order to avoid damaging your
hearing, do not listen to speakers at
high volumes for extended periods
of time.
Listening to speakers at high volumes
can cause damage to the user's ears
and may lead to hearing problems
(temporary or permanent deafness,
buzzing in the ears, tinnitus,
hyperacusis).
Exposure to excessive volumes (over
85dB) for more than one hour can
cause irreparable damage to your
hearing.
17. Your loudspeakers use a tweeter
with an inverted dome made from
pure beryllium, a substance that is
harmless in solid form. However,
given its nature, certain precautions
should be taken to avoid exposure to
unnecessary risks:
• The beryllium dome must never
come into contact with abrasive
materials.
• If the beryllium dome is damaged
in any way, use the protective
adhesive strip supplied to cover the
entire surface area of the dome, as
soon as possible. You will find the
adhesive strip in the plastic packet
containing the leaflet for the tweeter
with an inverted dome made from
pure beryllium. Contact the retailer
to have the tweeter dismantled and
replaced by trained personnel at the
distributor.
• If the dome is broken, any beryllium
particles should be carefully
collected using sticky tape and
then placed in a hermetically sealed
plastic bag and sent back to the
retailer along with the loudspeaker.
For more information, please refer to
the safe use manual in the box.
