GENERAL INFORMATION
General information
- Please read and follow these safety instructions.
- Keep them safe for future reference.
- Observe all warnings on the speaker and in the manual. Please check the speaker for damage before use.
- The speaker must be in perfect working condition. Damaged parts may lead to personal injury.
Use only as directed
- Connect the speaker(s) according to the instructions in the manual.
- Many ELAC speakers are equipped with spikes and/or anti-slip feet. They are explicitly provided for leveling the speaker. For leveling on an uneven floor, unscrew the spikes or anti-slip feet by 2-3 turns of thread. The speaker should always be in perfect vertical alignment: the stability of the speaker must not be compromised by using spikes or anti-slip feet as the speaker may tip-over.
Location
- Install the speakers on a level surface only.
- When choosing the location of these speakers do not place them in locations that are:
- In direct sunlight
- Very humid
- Prone to vibrations
- Exceptionally hot or cold
- Near CRT Televisions (the speakers are not magnetically shielded and may cause color issues with a CRT based TV).sa
- Close to magnetic cards (Since the speakers are not magnetically shielded placing magnetic cards such as credit cards or commuter cards may cause them to fail).
WARNING!
Please ensure the product is perfectly stable to avoid injury from tip-over. Please note, that stability can be increased by using spikes on carpeted surfaces. However, the mounting of spikes must be carried out carefully due to their very sharp ends which may cause injuries. The stability on slippery floors can be increased by using Velcro fastening tape or double-sided adhesive tape. Do not install the speaker near any heat sources such as radiators, heating valves, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat, or in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
- Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Do not install the speaker in a closed rack or in a closed cupboard.
- Do not put burning candles on or near the speaker.
- Do not install the speaker near transformers because electromagnetic stray fields can cause hum noise on woofers.
- In combination with certain materials / lacquers / material surfaces, anti-slip feet or spike washers may cause colored imprints on the surfaces.

Overload
Extreme overload of the device due to very high volume may cause damage to individual components. Because of the possible danger, you should never leave loudspeakers under extreme overload conditions unattended. DANGER! Do not open the cabinet because the components and conductors may carry current! Servicing to be carried out by qualified service personnel only. Servicing is required when the loudspeaker has been damaged in any way, such as damage to the power supply cord or the plug, or when liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen onto the loudspeaker, the speaker has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not open the loudspeaker. Servicing should be carried out by qualified service personnel only.
Cleaning
NOTE: Clean only with soft, smooth cloth or with dust brush. Do not use scouring agents, alcohol, benzene, furniture polish or other agents for cleaning! Modern furniture is often coated with multiple varnishes and plastics which can be treated with chemical agents. Some of these agents contain substances which degrade or soften the rubber feet. Therefore we advise that you place an anti-slip mat underneath the loudspeaker(s).
Volume
CAUTION! Continuous high volume may cause severe damage to your hearing.
Please listen responsibly.
