Break-in period
The speaker drivers used in Kanta loudspeakers are complex mechanical components which require a certain
time to adapt to operate at their best and to become acclimatised to the temperature and humidity of the
listening environment. This break-in period varies depending on the climate and may last a few weeks. To
reduce the break-in period, we recommend operating the loudspeakers for approximately twenty consecutive
hours. Once the loudspeakers' characteristics have totally stabilised, you will be able to enjoy your Kanta
loudspeakers' performance to the full.
Special precautions
The only maintenance required for the Kanta loudspeakers is dusting with a dry cloth. If you loudspeaker
becomes dirty, we recommend simply cleaning it with a damp cloth.
Never use solvents, detergents, alcohol-based or corrosive products, scrapers or scourers to clean the
surface of a loudspeaker.
Keep the loudspeakers away from sources of heat.
Kanta Center loudspeaker positioning
The Kanta Center loudspeaker must be placed within close range of the screen for realistic dialogue
reproduction. If a standard projection screen is used, the center unit must be placed right under the screen
for optimal performance. If a perforated, acoustically transparent screen is used, the center unit can be
placed behind, at the lower half of the screen.
Choosing the right amplifier
It is not an excess of amplifier power that can damage your loudspeakers and speaker drivers but a lack of
power. Moreover, if the volume is turned up too high, the amplifier saturates and generates parasite signals
that may damage the tweeter. The dynamic capacity and definition of Kanta loudspeakers are sufficient to
reveal the strengths and weaknesses of whatever amplifier is connected. Your retailer will be able to help you
choose the amplifier best suited to your tastes and budget.
