VII. USE
1. Burn-in period
When you take them out of the packaging, the Prestige Facet speakers are not yet able to
reproduce with the same efficiency all the sound frequencies they are supposed to play.
The Prestige Facet range loudspeakers are complex mechanical assemblies which need a
period of adaptation ("burn-in") to operate at their best and become acclimatised to the
temperature and humidity conditions of your environment. This burn-in period may last for
some weeks, but you can quicken it by operating the speakers between 20 and 50 hours
consecutively, on a moderate volume and broadcasting a radio station.
2. Bi-wiring and bi-ampification (All models, except PF6ATM and PF7SR)
Bi-wiring can increase the performance of your loudspeakers. Only one amplifier is
necessary, but two distinct cables are used to, individually, powered the treble drivers
and the bass drivers on the speaker. Good quality cables are required for an efficient bi-
wiring. The Prestige Facet speaker have a 4 terminals binding post, allowing bi-wiring and
bi-amplification.
Top terminals for treble, bottom terminals for bass. For a mono-amplification use, connect
the terminals with the metallic straps and connect the cables on 2 terminals.
For a bi-amp, two amplifiers are used separately for treble and bass
Note: The PF7SR and PF6ATM models have a single binding terminal.
3. Choice of cables
Choose high quality cables with a cross-section appropriate to their length. You can also
replace the provided metallic straps by a strap using the same speaker cable you use to
connect your loudspeakers to your amplifier. Your Elipson dealer will be able to advise you.
4. Choice of amplifier
Your setup type (stereo or home-cinema) will determine the choice of the appropriate
amplifier. Your dealer will be able to advise you on the most suitable amplifier for your system.
5. Cleaning instructions
To improve the lifetime of your speakers, we recommend regular cleaning. A soft cloth will
be enough for dusting. If the speaker is stained, we recommend simply using a damp cloth
with some mild soap if necessary. The lacquered front panel can be cleaned with a soft
cloth and standard glass cleaning product.
Never use solvents, detergents, alcohol-based or corrosive products, scrapers or scourers
to avoid any damage on the speaker surface.
Keep the loudspeakers away from sources of heat.
