Electrohome EB30 McKinley Powered Bookshelf Speakers

INTRODUCTION
Since 1907 Electrohome has been developing high fidelity audio products & has been welcomed into homes for generations. One thing that remains the same in our more than 100 year history is our unmatched dedication to design and premium craftsmanship. Thank you for your purchase of this Electrohome® product. We hope you enjoy your experience.

BREAK-IN PERIOD
Our speakers have a butyl rubber ring surrounding the cone. The break-in period allows the rubber to loosen and stretch, allowing the cone a larger range of movement, which gives a better sound reproduction. We recommend 10-12 hours of play at moderate volume to achieve this.
