Breaking your speakers in
The Aria 900 range loudspeakers are complex mechanical assemblies which need a period of adaptation ("break-in")
to operate at their best and to become acclimatised to the temperature and humidity conditions of your environment.
This break-in period varies depending on the conditions in question and may last for some weeks. To facilitate break-
in, we recommend operating the speakers for approximately twenty hours consecutively. Once the loudspeakers'
characteristics totally stabilised you will be able to enjoy your Aria 900's performance to the full.

Specifications
Aluminium/magnesium alloy inverted dome
®
TNF Tweeter : the tweeter developed for the Aria 900 range uses
Focal exclusive inverted dome technology, for optimal energy transfer and limited directivity. The dome's aluminium/
magnesium alloy guarantees outstanding stiffness and damping. The mechanical properties of the new suspension
system using Poron, an open cell polyrethane microcellular foam, provide numerous benefits: excellent dimensional
stability and no degradation over time. The advantages of the use of Poron in this tweeter are obvious in terms of
linearity and distortion reduction. This leads to a silkier, more precise sound with greater harmonic richness. The
tweeter mounting has an integral waveguide which maximises horizontal directivity and minimises diffraction.
Flax
®
cone midrange and bass drivers: every loudspeaker in the Aria range is made using Flax sandwich technology.
Flax
®
is an eco-textile with astounding structural properties: it is light, stiff and well damped, for greater neutrality
of timbres and better definition.
Magnetic front grille: easy to fit; more modern design.
Powerflow System : port tube air speed cut by half compared to traditional technology. No bass dynamic compression.
Profiled vent: powerful, distortion-free bass.
High-efficiency acoustic wadding: excellent internal damping, sustained, deeper bass.
High-torque, reliable multi-purpose cable connections.
Decoupling spikes included.
