Safety Advice For Passive Loudspeakers - quadral aurum Notice D'utilisation

First of all, thank you for deciding on AURUM loudspeakers.
It is to satisfy the high expectations of music lovers and connoisseurs such as you that we build
loudspeakers of a class that is well above average. Even though you may already be familiar
with them, we list below a few ground rules that will enable you to make optimal use of your
loudspeakers.

SAFETY ADVICE FOR PASSIVE LOUDSPEAKERS

Please take time to read through the manual carefully and follow all the steps describing how to set up
and operate the loudspeakers. Keep the manual somewhere you can quickly access it should you have any
questions later on.
• The stability of loudspeakers (especially large units) depends on the nature of the surface on which they
stand. Carpets are often very poor for stability. Even an average bump can cause a loudspeaker to fall
over and be a hazard for persons or pets in the vicinity. Stability can be significantly improved by using
"spikes", but care should be taken during assembly as the sharp points can cause injury and the spikes can
damage the floor. On smooth floors, the loudspeakers can be stabilised with Velcro or double-sided tape.
Loudspeakers should never be used as a seat or as a substitute for a ladder!
• Use only wheeled furniture, stands or wall mounting systems and other devices for attaching and installing
the products, which are available from the manufacturer and are sold for or with the product. To avoid
damage or injury through tipping over, please be careful when moving table devices or stands on which the
speakers are mounted. If wall-mounting the product, take special care that all components are securely
screwed! Additional securing equipment (chains, etc.) should be fitted.
• The location for the loudspeakers should be dry and not too cold. Constant high humidity or strong sunlight
(UV radiation) can cause your loudspeakers to age prematurely and consequently affect their functioning.
• Very high volume levels for long periods of time are not only annoying for your neighbours, but can also be
harmful to the health of the user!
• When loudspeakers are overloaded with very high volume levels, there is a risk of individual components in
crossover circuits or individual speakers burning out. In particularly bad cases, it is even possible for fire to
break out inside a speaker. Speakers operated at these extremes should therefore not be left unattended.
• At high volumes, voltage levels of 30–50 V can be present at speaker terminals and components. Be very
careful not to touch uninsulated terminal contacts of speakers when in operation. To avoid injury, never put
hands or arms into sound outlets (bass reflex tubes). Children and pets, in particular, are at risk from this.
• For safety reasons, we generally forbid the opening of loudspeaker cabinets when in operation or
connected since, as explained in the above paragraph, voltages of up to 50 volts can be present inside.
• Improper handling of mains voltage can cause fatal injury!
Passive loudspeakers must on no account be connected to the electricity supply!
Speaker terminals may only be connected to the appropriate output terminals of the amplifier. You should
never connect these terminals to the electricity supply (230 V/115 V) in any way since that will otherwise
