Accessories
Floorstanding loudspeaker systems include four decoupling spikes (cones) and
should be screwed, if necessary, into the four metal inserts situated on the base of
the loudspeaker. These spikes ensure a better stability for floorstanding speakers,
particularly if the floor is not perfectly flat and smooth. This stability improves
clarity in bass and midrange by decoupling the system from the floor and thus
reducing floor-born resonances.This required stability allows the energy delivered
by the woofer's cone to be integrally converted into sound. The enclosed spikes
are adjustable in height. After having adjusted the height of the spikes, don't
forget to lock them with the locknut.
When the use of the spikes proves to be necessary, we advise you to place a
piece of metal (such as a coin) between the floor and the spike in order to avoid
scratching a tiled floor.
Bookshelf speakers can be placed on an optional stand specially developed for
them.
User precautions
The tweeter is made up of a relatively soft Aluminum/Magnesium alloy and has a "shape memory" that enables it to rapidly
take its initial shape again after slight impacts. However we advise you not to remove the speaker grille in order to keep the
dome protected. If the dome surface is damaged, tweeter performance may be compromised.
As the loudspeaker's covering materials are strong, scratch and stain-resistant, maintenance is easy and consists only in
cleaning the covering with a dry cloth. If the enclosure is stained, we simply recommend the use of a damp cloth.
Never use any solvents, detergents, alcohol or corrosive products, scrappers or scouring powder to clean the surface of
the loudspeaker.
Avoid placing the loudspeakers near a heat source.
About amplifiers
Contrary to what one might think, it is not a too powerful amplifier that might damage a loudspeaker, but rather a lack
of power. Actually if the output level of the amplifier is too high it will saturate and distort which will irremediably damage
the tweeter.
The power handling and frequency response of the loudspeakers is good enough to highlight the qualities or weak points
of the amplifiers they are combined with. Let your retailer help you make the right choice, matching your personal taste
and budget.
Cable
Don't underestimate the importance of the cable: make sure you choose the appropriate section and length. Let your
retailer advise you.
