GETTING STARTED

3.1 UNPACKING ORCHESTRA SLIM

  1. Take the ORCHESTRA SLIM out of the packaging and check whether the ORCHESTRA SLIM or the individual parts exhibit damages. If this is the case, do not use the ORCHESTRA SLIM. Should you detect any damage, contact your dealer or sonoro audio GmbH customer support immediately.
  2. Check to make sure that the delivery is complete (2 speakers, 2 speaker meshes, 2 bass plugs).
  3. Place the ORCHESTRA SLIM at a suitable and safe location. If you want to put your ORCHESTRA SLIM on a natural wood surface, please make sure that it is suitable. On oiled and waxed surfaces, stains may occur.
  4. Do not touch or push the woofer and tweeter on the front of ORCHESTRA SLIM. This can destroy the speaker.

ORCHESTRA SLIM can be connected to amplifer as show below. To avoid short circuits, please first switch off the amplifier to which you want to connect your ORCHESTRA SLIM. Connect the right speaker to the right and left speaker to the left channel of your amplifier. Be careful not to reverse the polarity of + and –.sonoro SO-1120 2-Way Hi Fi Loudspeaker - ORCHESTRA
