Key to the symbols
Never operate the loudspeaker unattended!
Danger of electric shock!
To avoid the risk of electric shock, the speaker may not be opened by the
user. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the speaker.
Service work and repairs are reserved for qualified specialists authorized by
Nubert. If you need service, please contact Nubert electronic GmbH directly
(info@nubert.de)!
Danger of suffocation!
Never let children use or play with the speaker, remote control or packaging
unattended. There is a risk that children will get caught in the packaging
film and suffocate. Make sure that children cannot remove any small parts from
the devices! These parts, like the remote control battery, could be swallowed
and cause suffocation. In case of swallowing any parts, contact a doctor
immediately!
Danger of injury or damage!
When moving the speaker, take care to avoid injury and damage!
Caution!
Since the speaker can only be completely disconnected from the mains at the
mains input on the rear of the unit or by pulling the mains plug from the
socket, it must be positioned so that you have free access to the mains input
or mains plug. If any of the following situations occurs, the loudspeaker must
be switched off immediately and disconnected from the mains. Contact Nubert
electronic GmbH (info@nubert.de) immediately!
- The speaker has been damaged or has fallen down.
- Power cord or plug is damaged
- Objects or liquid have gotten into the loudspeaker
- The speaker has been exposed to excessive moisture or rain.
- The speaker does not work properly or exhibits a significant reduction in performance.
- The loudspeaker smells burnt, develops smoke or makes unusual noises.
Only use accessories recommended by Nubert!
Installation instructions
Caution!
An unstable location can damage the speaker.
- Only place the loudspeaker on a flat, stable surface and make sure that it cannot be knocked over!
- Also make sure that no unintentional pulling can occur on the cables to avoid knocking over the speaker or damaging the connection sockets!
- Keep strong mechanical shocks away from the loudspeaker!
Caution!
Excessive heat build-up inside the unit can shorten its service life or lead
to fire.
- Never cover the back of the speaker! Make sure that there is a clearance of at least 10 cm and sufficient air circulation in the back area!
- Do not operate the speaker and remote control near heat sources such as radiators or stoves!
- Do not expose the speaker and remote control to direct sunlight.
- Never place burning candles or similar open fire sources on the loudspeaker!
Danger of explosion!
Installation in unsuitable locations can cause explosions.
Do not use the speaker or remote control
- in environments where there is a risk of fire or explosion!
- at extremely low or extremely high temperatures!
- near flammable gases or vapours!
- near strong dust!
- near flammable materials!
Danger of electric shock!
The loudspeaker carries mains voltage and voltages higher than 35 V AC or DC
inside. It has no special protection against the intrusion of liquids or
objects into the system. There is therefore a risk of lethal electric shock.
- Never touch the speaker with wet hands!
- Only use the speaker in a dry place!
- Do not operate it outdoors or in damp rooms!
- The loudspeaker must be protected from liquids of all kinds, including dripping and splashing water.
- Do not place any containers containing liquids (e.g. flower vases) on the speaker or in the immediate vicinity!
- If the loudspeaker is moved from a cold environment to a warm room, condensation may form inside the unit. Wait at least six hours until the loudspeaker has reached room temperature and is dry before switching it on!
- No objects of any kind may get into the device.
- Should the loudspeaker come into contact with liquids or should objects have gotten inside, please unplug the mains plug immediately and contact Nubert electronic GmbH (info@nubert.de)!
Danger of injury or damage!
For speakers with threaded bushings on the underside:
The threaded bushings may be used for upright mounting of the loudspeaker on
suitable base plates or feet only. The threaded bushings on the underside of
the loudspeaker enclosures are not designed for tensile loads and must
therefore not be used as holders for hooks or similar devices in order to
suspend the loudspeaker cabinet. A falling speaker may cause serious injury
and damage.
Connection instructions
General connection instructions
Disconnect the mains plug before changing any wiring on the system!
- Make sure that all connections have been made correctly and that all plugs are firmly seated in the sockets before connecting the speaker to the mains.
- Use only the intended cables or plug connections for the connections! Failure to do so may result in damage or malfunction.
- If you want to disconnect connections on the loudspeaker, always pull the plug, never the cable!
- Ensure that all plugs are firmly seated in the sockets!
- Only use cables and accessories recommended by Nubert!
Danger of electric shock!
Faulty mains supply systems or excessive mains voltage can lead to electric
shocks.
- All power supply or antenna systems connected to the loudspeaker must comply with all applicable laws and regulations and be professionally installed by an approved installation company.
- Use only the appropriate power cord to connect the speaker. Do not modify the power cord or its plug.
- Make sure that the mains voltage at your location matches the requirements of the loudspeaker! The correct power supply can be found on the label on the back of the speaker. It must not be connected to other power supplies.
- Devices of Class 1 construction must be connected to the mains power socket outlet with a protective earth connection. Make sure that the installation of the protective earth is carried out correctly!
- When laying the power cables, make sure that they cannot be damaged (e.g. by heating or mechanical stress)! Pay particular attention to the areas of the connectors and distributors!
Caution!
Overvoltage in the power supply system (e.g. due to lightning) can damage or
destroy the device and power supply unit.
- An overvoltage protection element can provide a certain degree of protection against excessively high voltages in the power grid.
- However, the greatest possible protection against damage can only be achieved with the complete separation from the mains supply. In case of thunderstorms or danger of lightning strikes, disconnect the mains cable from the socket and any antenna plugs from your hi-fi system!
- If the speaker is not used for a long period of time or is unattended, the power supply should be disconnected. Disconnect the mains plug from the socket!
Remote control and battery
This product comes with a remote control and a battery. The following must be observed when handling remote controls and batteries:
If the batteries are discharged, the range of the remote control will decrease significantly. If this happens, replace the batteries immediately. Always use high-quality CR2025 lithium button cells as replacement batteries. Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the battery into the battery compartment!
Caution!
Improper handling can lead to material damage.
- Do not drop the remote control!
- Do not expose the remote control and battery to water or other liquids!
- Do not operate or store the remote control and battery in locations with high humidity or particularly high or low temperature!
Danger!
Leaking or exploding batteries can pose a health hazard and cause damage to
goods.
- If you do not use the device for a long time or if the batteries are depleted, remove the batteries from the remote control to prevent discharge, leakage of acid or explosions.
- Leaking batteries must be replaced immediately.
- If you find a leaking battery, do not touch the leaking material and dispose of the batteries immediately!
- Do not touch leaking batteries!
- Should your skin, eyes or mouth come into contact with the leaking material, clean the affected area immediately with water and contact a doctor!
Danger! Do not ingest battery, chemical burn hazard!
Ingestion of batteries can cause severe internal burns and death within a
short time span.
- Ensure that batteries do not get into your body by any means, in particular, that they cannot be swallowed!
- Keep new and used batteries away from children.
- If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children.
- If you think that batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention!
Equipment marked with this symbol must not be disposed of with household waste. Refer to the Disposal and Battery Return section at the end of this manual.
Care and cleaning tips
Caution!
Improper handling of the speaker may result in damage.
- Always unplug the speaker before cleaning it!
- Before recommissioning, make sure that all connections are correct, that there are no short circuits and that the speaker is completely dry.
- Never use strong cleaning agents or solvents such as petrol, spirit or similar!
Enclosure
We recommend commercial window cleaner sprayed onto a cotton cloth. This
allows almost all fingerprints and dust to be easily removed. Alternatively,
you can also use window active foam.
We advise against the use of microfibre cloths! These can cause mini scratches
in the surface.
Diaphragms and Speaker Chassis
To remove dust from a loudspeaker chassis, lint-free cotton cloth is
sufficient to wipe the membrane lightly with very little pressure.
Unpacking and Scope of Delivery
Unpacking
When unpacking your speaker, do not use sharp or pointed objects to avoid
possible damage to the enclosure. Please keep the packaging in a safe place in
case you need to transport the speaker at a later date.
Scope of delivery
If the delivery is complete, it contains the following parts:
- 1 nuBoxx AS-425 max active loudspeaker
- 1 Cloth grille
- 1 Remote control with battery
- 1 Mains cable, 3 m
- 1 Fibre optic cable with TOS-Link plugs, 1.5 m
- 1 Stereo 3.5mm jack to cinch cable, 1.5 m
- 1 High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet, 1.5 m
Auto power off
The nuBoxx AS-425 max Soundbase can switch to the standby mode (< 0.5 Watt) via an automatic power-off function. The behavior depends on the chosen input. If either Bluetooth or AUX is selected, the loudspeaker switches to standby mode after a maximum of 20 minutes without audio input. With the digital inputs COAX or OPTICAL, the auto-off circuit also reacts directly to the absence of a digital data stream and thus allows for a faster switch-off. The playback device must deactivate the data stream accordingly. When switched to the HDMI eARC input, the auto-off circuit reacts directly to the appropriate CEC command, transmitted from the TV system.
Note: The auto power-off feature can be enabled or disabled by pressing and holding the remote control’s wide button for 7 seconds within 15 seconds of power on. The LED ring flashes once to confirm that the standby automatic is deactivated. The LED ring flashes three times to confirm that the function has been (re-)activated.
Auto power on
The electronics of the AS-425 soundbase have an automatic switch-on function, that automatically wakes them from stand-by mode as soon as a sound signal or data stream is present. The signal must be applied to the input that was selected during the automatic switch-off process.
- However, this function is not available for Bluetooth devices.
- At the other inputs, Auto power on is only active if the AS-425 is set to standby mode by the Auto power off function. If standby mode has been set manually by pressing the button on/off on the remote control or by a three-second-long press of the dial on the front of the speaker, the automatic switch-on function is deactivated.

Disposal and battery return
Environmental protection: Ingredients, e.g. chemical pollutants in old
appliances, can damage the environment and health if stored improperly, in
particular, if they are not shatterproof or disposed of properly by persons
not authorized to do so. Especially in the case of illegal exports, there is
no guarantee that the environment and human health will be protected from
damage. Old appliances can also contain recyclable raw materials, old
appliances can be repaired or parts can be reused and thus considerably
protect the environment. Old appliances must therefore not be disposed of with
normal household waste or exported illegally. As an end user, you are legally
obliged to return or properly dispose of electrical equipment.
Batteries:
Ingredients, e.g. chemical type of batteries, can damage the environment and
health if not stored and disposed of properly. At the same time, recyclable
raw materials may also be included. Batteries must therefore not be disposed
of with normal household waste. As an end user, you are legally obliged to
return used batteries. You can return batteries after use to the seller or in
the designated collection points (e.g. in public collection points in your
municipality or in the trade) free of charge or send them back free of charge.
You can also send the batteries back to the seller free of charge by post,
whereby any requirements of the dangerous goods law must be observed. The sale
at points of sale is limited to the quantities customary for end users for
disposal as well as used batteries which the distributor carries or has
carried in its product range.
Battery return
The symbol with the crossed-out dustbin reminds you not to put batteries in
the household waste.
Under this symbol you can also fi nd the following symbols with the following
meaning about ingredients:
Pb = battery contains more than 0.004 mass percent lead, Cd = battery contains
more than 0.002 mass percent cadmium,
Hg = battery contains more than 0.0005 mass percent mercury.
Old appliances
Electrical and electronic equipment is also marked with the crossed-out
wheelie bin symbol. The symbol indicates that you,
as the owner of this appliance, may not dispose of it with your household
waste (grey bin, yellow bin, organic waste bin, paper or glass).
You can send the device to the municipal collection points to be collected
separately from unsorted municipal waste for reuse. Used batteries and
accumulators which are not enclosed by the waste equipment shall be separated
from it at a collection point prior to delivery.
Old appliances can also be returned to us directly in our shops or shipped
back to us for disposal. Please send an Email to info@nubert.de for a free
return shipping label. You can also request this by calling +49 7171 8712-0.
Please then send the old device to the following address:
Nubert electronic GmbH, Goethestr. 69, D-73525 Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany.
Please ensure that the old appliance is properly packaged for shipment so that
breakage is avoided as far as possible and mechanical compaction or breakage
can be ruled out. The acceptance of waste equipment may be refused if there is
a risk to human health and safety due to contamination.
Please note: You are responsible for the deletion of personal data on the
waste equipment to be disposed of.
