Precaution
The SM8 uses a tweeter equipped with a Beryllium dome, allowing a frequency range extending beyond 40kHz. In its solid
form, Beryllium is harmless. However, due to its nature, certain special precautions should be observed to avoid exposure to
unnecessary risk:
• Under no circumstances should the Beryllium dome be subjected to any form of abrasive action. To ensure no accidental
damage to the tweeter dome it is advised to carefully replace the protection covers while not in use.
• In the unlikely case of damage to the dome, of any form, a wide piece of adhesive tape should be immediately used to seal
the whole front surface of the tweeter. The protective cover should then be replaced and also taped securely in place. You
should then inform the dealer from whom you purchased the product so that the tweeter can be removed by a professional
and returned to the product distributor for replacement.
• If the dome is broken in any way giving rise to loose particles of Beryllium, these should be carefully collected with the use of
an adhesive tape and sealed in a zip-top bag to be returned with the tweeter.
