User's precaution
• Do not throw any liquid on the subwoofer surface. Do not expose to dripping or splashing.
• Do not lay down any full liquid container over the subwoofer if it may cause the liquid to flow
into the circuitry.
• Do not expose the subwoofer to humid climate or rain.
• Do not attempt to insert any object inside the subwoofer, in particular through the vent port.
• In case a liquid get into the subwoofer, immediately unplug it from the power grid and let a
professional check it.
• Do not pull on the power cable to unplug it.
The electric cable must not be folded, squashed or tied.
• Do not block up the lower vent port.
• Avoid placing the subwoofer too close to heat sources (radiator, halogen lamps).
• If you move the subwoofer from a cold room into a warm one, you may encounter an internal
condensation phenomenon. We recommend you to wait an hour before using the subwoofer
again.
• Never use any solvents, detergents, alcohol or corrosive products, scrap-pers or scouring powders
to clean the surface of the enclosure. Use a dry cloth to remove dust.
• The ON/OFF switch can disconnect the product from the main supply. It is situated on the
aluminum back plate of the product and it must be always easily accessible by the user.
Breaking-in period
The driver used in the Sub Utopia Be is made up of complex mechanical elements and requires an
adaptation period before it delivers the best of its performances.
They must get adapted to the temperature and humidity conditions of their environment. This
breaking-in period depends upon the encountered conditions and can last several weeks. In order to
shorten this period, we advise you to let your subwoofer operate for about twenty hours at medium
level, playing standard music programs, but with a large amount of bass. Once the components of
the loudspeaker are completely stabilized, it is possible to enjoy the real performances of your self
powered subwoofer.
