The target of this device is to identify macroscopic damages (like disconnected wires, blown coils, etc…) for each way of the Outline speakers quickly and without the need of an external mains power. In order to perform the measurement, you have to connect a single speaker to one connector on the device via a short link cable, select the measurement preset and to push the “MEASURE” button. The result is shown on the display and via the colored LEDs for each active way.

UNPACKING
After unpacking the device, check very carefully for any damage. If any damage is found, please notify your dealer. It is advisable to keep the packaging for use in the  event of the unit being transported in the future.
