WARRANTY AND AFTER-SALES ASSISTANCE
The Aster loudspeakers have been designed and manufactured according to the highest quality standards. Should, however, a fault or a malfunction occur, the loudspeakers are covered by warranty, in compliance with the regulations in force in the country where the loudspeakers were purchased. In such cases, please contact the dealer from whom you purchased your loudspeakers, or the official Sonus Faber distributor for your country; the contact information for all the distributors can be found on our website: https://www.sonusfaber.com/en/distributors-stores/The following should also be kept in mind for your convenienc

• The warranty on the loudspeakers covers any manufacturing defects;
• Keep the receipt as proof of purchase to show to the retailer if necessary;
• Keep the loudspeakers’ original packaging so that they can be transported without suffering damage if they need to be shipped to an authorised service centre;
• The loudspeakers must be accompanied by a description of the malfunction or defect encountered.

The product’s warranty will be void under the following conditions:

• If the product has been disassembled or modified by persons other than a Sonus Faber authorised service centre;

SAFETY INFORMATION

This instruction manual must be read carefully and kept in an accessible location for any needs that may arise.

• Make sure that in-wall/in-ceiling fixing is suitably stable.
• Previously check that the capacity of the mounting surface is sufficient to support the weight of the loudspeaker/s.
• Avoid staying in close proximity to the loudspeakers while the audio system is operating at high volume. This can cause permanent damage to your hearing. Children must be kept at a safety distance of least 50 cm from the loudspeaker.
• The speakers generate an electromagnetic field that is harmless to humans and pets, but can compromise the proper functionality of electronic equipment, such as CRT monitors or TVs, when placed in close proximity. If this occurs, increase the equipment’s distance from the loudspeakers.
• The technology underlying the speakers’ functionality is based on the principles of electromagnetism, and the user should therefore avoid operating equipment that generates strong electromagnetic fields, as these could affect the loudspeaker’s proper functionality.
• Do not connect the loudspeakers parallel to each other or directly to a constant voltage sound distribution system (100 V, 70.7 V or similar). This could result in a serious system overload, with possible damage to the loudspeaker and/or the amplifier.
• Do not place audio cables and electrical power cables in close proximity to one another. An electromagnetic field is present in the vicinity of the power cables, which can cause an unpleasant humming noise. If this should occur, move the audio cables and electrical power cables away from each other.
• The connections must be made with the equipment turned off. Pay attention to the polarities of the terminals during connection.
