Warning
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire, or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Important! Before Using Your Speaker!

• The voltage selector switch and the main fuse are set at the factory for the country or region in which this Donner product is intended to be sold. To prevent serious damage to the product, ensure that the rated AC mains voltage indicated on the product’s rear panel agrees with the mains voltage from your AC mains inlet before connecting the IEC power cable. If the product is to be used outside of the factory set region, please ensure the voltage selector switch (found on the rear or side panel) is set to the correct voltage for the new country/region.

Power Supply

• Use only the supplied power cord/plug. If you intend to use the product in an area other than the one you purchased, the included power cord may not be compatible.
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the product. The required voltage is printed on the nameplate of the product.
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
• Make sure to fully insert the electric plug to prevent electric shocks or fire.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, as long as the power cord is not unplugged from the wall AC outlet, the product will not be disconnected from the power source.
• Be sure to connect to an appropriate outlet with a protective grounding connection. Improper grounding can result in electrical shock, fire, or damage.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the product is not to be used for extended periods of time.
• Do not touch the product or the electric plug during an electrical storm.

Do not open

• This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way.

Connection

• Before turning the power of all devices on or off, make sure that all volume levels are set to the minimum. Failing to do so may result in hearing loss or device damage.
• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the product LAST, to avoid hearing loss and speaker damage. When turning the power off, the product should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.

Location

• Do not place the product in an unstable position or a location with excessive vibration, where it might accidentally fall over and cause injury.

• Keep this product out of reach of children. This product is not suitable for use in locations where children are likely to be present.

• When installing the product:
  1. Do not cover it with any cloth.
  2. Do not install it on a carpet or rug.
  3. Make sure the top surface faces up; do not install on its sides or upside down.

• Do not use the product in a confined, poorly-ventilated location. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the product(s), or even fire. Make sure that there is adequate space around the product: at least 20cm above, 20cm at the sides, and 20cm behind.

• Do not place the product in a location where it may come into contact with corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may result in malfunction.

• Before moving the product, remove all connected cables.

• Do not press the rear panel of the product against the wall. Doing so may cause the plug to come in contact with the wall and detach from the power cord, resulting in short-circuiting, malfunction, or even fire.

Water / Fire warning

  The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.
  Unusual smells or smoke are emitted.
  Some object or water has been dropped into the product.
  There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the product.
  Cracks or other visible damage appear on the product.

Handling and Maintenance

• Do not use the product in the vicinity of a TV, radio, or other electric products. Otherwise, the product, TV, or radio may generate noise.
• Do not expose the product to excessive dust or vibration, or extreme cold or heat, in order to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration, unstable operation, or damage to the internal components.

• If there is reason to believe that condensation might have occurred, leave the product for several hours without turning on the power until the condensation has completely dried out, in order to prevent possible damage.
• Do not touch the speaker driver unit, since it might cause malfunction.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic, or rubber objects on the product, since this might cause alteration or discoloration of the panel.
• When cleaning the product, use a dry and soft cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemically impregnated wiping cloths, since this might cause alteration or discoloration.
• Do not place the speaker face down.
• Air blowing out of the bass reflex ports is normal and often occurs when the speaker is handling program material with heavy bass content.

INSTALLATION SETTINGS

Wired connection of sound source input
Please use appropriate cables to connect the Rarity series speakers to an audio interface, mobile phone, computer, sound card, mixer, and other sound source equipment.

• Short distance, high-quality cables
  Please use a high-quality cable with the shortest effective length possible. The longer the cable, the greater the chance of noise and sound degradation.

• Balanced cable
  Balanced cables have better noise resistance than unbalanced cables. If the unbalanced cable has to be used because the sound source equipment has only unbalanced output, make sure to use the unbalanced cable as short as possible. It is recommended to use the balanced sound cable to connect the TRS input interface of Rarity series speakers for a better playback effect.

Main and auxiliary connections

• Please connect the attached AC power cord to the power input port of the speaker main box.
• Please connect the attached horn cable to the speaker cable clamp of the main and auxiliary boxes according to the positive (gray) and negative (black).
• Please put the main speaker box on the left side as the left channel playback device, and put the secondary speaker box on the right side as the right channel playback device.
• Please turn the volume knob of the speaker to 0, connect different input interfaces through different wires, connect the other end of the interface to the input sound source (TRS /RCA/Aux/ Bluetooth /Coaxial/ USB), turn on the power switch to power on, and gradually turn on the volume knob to adjust to the appropriate playback volume. It is recommended to keep the volume knob at the 12 o’clock position for a better playback effect.
