Run-in period

The speakers are complex mechanical devices and require an run-in period before they deliver their best performance.
They must get adapted to the temperature and humidity conditions of their environment. This run-in period
depends on the encountered conditions and can last several weeks.
In order to shorten this period, we advise you to let your loudspeakers operate for about twenty hours at medium
level, playing standard musical programmes, but with a large amount of bass.
Once the components of the loudspeakers are completely stabilized, it is possible to enjoy the real performance
of your loudspeakers.
The Focal-JMlab guarantee only applies if the enclosed guarantee card is returned to us within 10 days of purchase.
