Owner's Manual
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
General information
Please read and
follow
these safety instructions.
Keep them safe for future reference.
Observe all warnings on
the
speaker and in
the
manual. Please check
the
speaker
for
damage before
use. The speaker must be
in
perfect
working
condition. Damaged parts may lead
to
personal injury.
2. Use only
as
directed
Connect
the
speaker(s) according
to
the
instructions in
the
manual.
Many ELAC speakers are
equipped
with spikes
and/or
anti-slip feet.
They
are explicitly provided for
leveling
the
speaker. For leveling on
an
uneven
floor
, unscrew
the
spikes
or
anti-slip
feet
by
2-3 turns
of
thread. The
speaker
should always be in
perfect
vertical alignment:
the
stability
of
the
speaker must
not
be compromised
by
using spikes
or
anti-slip
feet
as
the
speaker may tip-over.
3. Location
Install
the
speakers on a level surface only
When choosing
the
location
of
these speakers
do
not
place them in locations
that
are:
In
direct
sunlight
Very humid
Prone
to
vibrations
Exceptionally
hot
or
cold
Near
CRT
Televisions (the speakers are
not
magnetically shielded and may cause color issues
with a
CRT
based TV)
Close
to
magnetic cards (Since
the
speakers are
not
magnetically shielded placing magnetic
cards such as credit cards
or
commuter
cards may cause them
to
fail).
WARNING! Please ensure
the
product
is
perfectly stable
to
avoid injury from tip-over. Please note,
that
stability
can be increased
by
using spikes on carpeted surfaces. However,
the
mounting
of
spikes must be carried
out
carefully
due
to
their
very
sharp ends which may cause injuries. The stability on slippery floors can be increased
by
using Velcro fastening
tape
or
double-sided adhesive tape. Do
not
install
the
speaker near any heat sources
such as radiators, heating valves, stoves, or
other
apparatus (including amplifiers)
that
produce
heat, or in areas
where
there
is
a risk
of
explosion.
Do
not
block
any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with
the
manufacturer's instructions.
Do not install
the
speaker in a closed rack
or
in a closed cupboard.
Do
not
put
burning candles on
or
near
the
speaker.
Do
not
install
the
speaker near transformers because electromagnetic stray fields can cause hum noise
on woofers.
In
combination with certain
materials/
lacquers / material surfaces, anti-slip
feet
or
spike washers may
cause colored imprints on
the
surfaces.
4. Overload
Extreme overload
of
the
device
due
to
very
high volume may cause damage
to
individual components. Because
of
the
possible danger, you should never leave loudspeakers
under
extreme overload conditions unattended.
