CARE AND MAINTENANCE
POWER DOWN
Due to the fact that the M1 amplifier/DAC generates high-voltages and also runs warm in use (this is perfectly normal for
a Class-A amplifier), it should be powered down when not in use for extended periods or left unattended.
CLEANING
The amplifier/DAC unit should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Never use anything abrasive as this may damage the
metal finish. Do NOT use liquid/aerosol cleaners.
The headphones should be cleaned with a soft, dry, micro-fibre cloth. This is also the case for the leather parts. Do NOT
use any liquid/aerosol cleaners as they may damage the leather and cause failure of the pads.
Failure to follow these instructions will invalidate your warranty.
REPLACING THE EAR PADS
Ear pads may need replacement after years of extended use or if
inadvertently damaged. Replacement pads are available from your
dealer or the Warwick Acoustics website.
To remove the old pads, carefully insert a finger into the ear cup so that
it is behind the ear pad as much as possible. Take care not to damage
the webbing or electrostatic panel! Then, with your thumb, firmly
grasp the ear pad, and pull it away from the ear cup.
Place the new pad on the ear cup with the seam in the leather at the
BOTTOM of the ear cup. Then, carefully, press firmly all around the pad
to attach it. Check that the ear pad is firmly seated and tight to the ear
cup all around its perimeter. This is essential to ensure an air-tight seal
and correct bass response.
