better once they are broken in. Operate them for several hours before you listen critically.
High-frequency drivers use ferro-fluid that can thicken at temperatures below 10° C (50° F). If your
speakers have been transported or stored in the cold, let them warm to room temperature before use.
Clean speaker housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use a strong or abrasive cleaner or get any
part of the speaker wet.
HOW TO AVOID SPEAKER DAMAGE
Use an appropriate amplifier. At high volumes, a very powerful amplifier can overdrive your
speakers and damage them. On the other hand, if your amplifier isn't powerful enough, it can
produce clipping distortion that can easily damage high-frequency drivers. (See your dealer.)
Don't be fooled by your amplifier's volume control. It adjusts listening level-it does not indicate
power output. If your speakers begin to sound harsh or grating, or if you hear the bass breaking up,
turn the volume down immediately or you will damage your speakers! This type of damage
constitutes abuse and is not covered by warranty!
Tone controls and equalizers can demand even more power from an amplifier, lowering the point
at which it produces clipping distortion. Use them sparingly, if at all, and do not use them when
listening at loud levels.

in-wall/in-ceiling speakers are suitable for use in a wide variety of listening environments.

Note however, that room construction, dimensions and furnishings all play a part in the quality of
sound you ultimately achieve. The extra care taken in installation will result in greater listening
enjoyment. Try to follow these guidelines:
a) Strong, rigid walls and ceilings are preferred for best bass balance. For even better results add
cross-braces at about 12˝ (30 cm) above and below (either side) the speaker to further
increase rigidity.
b) Midrange and high frequencies are affected by room furnishings. For best sound, your
listening room should contain an average amount of curtains, carpets, sofas, etc.
