Floorstanding loud-speaker systems
include four decoupling spikes (cones)
and should be screwed, if necessary,
into the four metal inserts situated on
the base of the loudspeaker. These
spikes ensure a better stability for
floorstanding speakers, particularly
if the floor is not perfectly flat and
smooth. This stability improves clarity
in bass and midrange by decoupling
the system from the floor and thus
reducing floor-born resonances.This
required stability allows the energy
delivered by the woofer’s membrane
to be integrally converted into sound.
The enclosed spikes are adjustable
in height. After having adjusted the
height of the spikes, don’t forget to
lock them with the locknut.
When the use of the spikes proves to
be necessary, we advise you to place
a piece of metal (such as a coin)
between the floor and the spike in
order to avoid scratching a tiled floor.
Bookshelf speakers can be placed on
an optional stand specially developed
for them.
User precautions
The tweeter is made up of a relatively
soft aluminum/magnesium alloy and
has a “shape memory” that enables
it to rapidly take its initial shape again
after slight impacts. However we
advise you not to remove the speaker
grille in order to keep the dome
protected. If the dome surface is
damaged, tweeter performance may
be compromised.
As the loudspeaker’s covering
materials are strong, scratch and stain-
resistant, maintenance is easy and
consists only in cleaning the covering
with a dry cloth. If the enclosure is
stained, we simply recommend the
use of a damp cloth.
Never use any solvents, detergents,
alcohol or corrosive products, scrap-
pers or scouring powder to clean the
surface of the loudspeaker.
Avoid placing the loudspeakers near
a heat source.
About amplifiers
Contrary to what one might think, it
is not a too powerful amplifier that
might damage a loudspeaker, but
rather a lack of power. Actually if the
output level of the amplifier is too high
it will saturate and distort which will
irremediably damage the tweeter.
The power handling and frequency
response of the loudspeakers is good
enough to highlight the qualities or
weak points of the amplifiers they are
combined with. Let your retailer help
you make the right choice, matching
your personal taste and budget.
Cable
Don’t underestimate the importance
of the cable: make sure you chose the
appropriate section and length. Let
your retailer advise you.
