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
levelling
the
speaker. For levelling 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.
