Frequently asked questions

How long does the warranty last?

The limited warranty is valid for five years from the date of purchase, or two years for electronic components.

How should the speaker terminals be connected?

Connect the positive terminal (marked + and red) to the amplifier’s positive output and the negative terminal (marked – and black) to the negative output; bi‑wiring is possible by removing the linking straps.

What is the recommended speaker placement?

Place the speakers at least 1.5 m apart, keep the baffles at least 0.5 m from walls, and arrange them in an equilateral‑triangle layout with the listening position.

What should I do during the running‑in period?

Allow up to a week for temperature effects to stabilise and about 15 hours of average use for the mechanical parts to reach their intended performance.
