General Information

Warranty

For being independent of your regional dealer/distributor we strictly recommend to use our

international warranty registration. So please visit www.audium.com/registration to register your

Loudspeakers. Within your registration we are offering you an international worldwide warranty

under the regulations of AUDIUM.

Warning - Safety Instructions

1. Read and follow all instructions in this manual. Keep this manual for later reference.

2. Do not use this products on humid places or near water.

3. They are intended for indoor-use. Do not use outside of buildings!

4. Do not use this products near heat sources. E.g. radiators, stoves, amplifiers or any other

device that produces heat. Do not block any heat sinks or ventilation openings.

5. Unplug the speakers from the main outlets during lightning storms or when unused for

long periods of time.

6. In case of damage or malfunction do not try to repair the speakers on your own.

Always contact your dealer, or authorized service personal to service the products.

WARNING RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! DO NOT OPEN!

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not open the power supplies and do not expose the

apparatus to rain or moisture. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

Burn-ln of the Loudspeakers:

Loudspeakers are equipped with moveable parts. Thus they require a specific "burn-in time“until

these parts can move in their required tolerance range. After this period, the loudspeakers can

develop their full acoustic potentials.

For the burn-in of your new AUDIUM loudspeakers, you should play back music signals with a

very broad frequency spectrum for min. 2 days. Preferably you can use a special Burn-In CD

(containing pink noise signal.

Please note that after a long period of inactivity of your speakers the moveable parts get back to

their initial rigid state. So please give them a few hours time for “warm-up” again through

playing music, and you will notice the distinct increase of fidelity within this time.

Handling, Cleaning and Care

For cleaning, use a soft dry or slightly damp cloth.

Please avoid aggressive cleaning agents as well as special furniture polishes or any other

cleaning fluids. Dust from the chassis can be removed gently by using a tiny furniture brush.

Warning:

Avoid touching the chassis and membranes!

They are very sensitive and can be easily damaged!

Terminology

Your Mobile device (iPhone, iPad, Android phone or Android tablet) or your Laptop or PC (with

WiFi card) will be called „Audio Source“. Your AUDIUM Air loudspeakers will be called „Airs“.

„Master“ is the speaker with the WiFi receiver and the digital inputs showing AirM in the Display,

„Slave“ is the other speaker showing AirS in the Display.

Functions only available at Comp 7-9 are printed in blue colour.

Unpacking the speakers

Your AUDIUM speakers are delivered in separate cartons. Alter opening them, remove the

polyfoam protection elements and the textile bag. Do not dispose the packaging - you can carry

the speakers in a save way only when using the original packaging.

Spikes:

AUDIUM floor speakers radiate sound best when the front baffle is inclined for a few degrees.

Therefor screw the front spikes for 5mm, the rear spikes completely into the designated winding-

drills. Take care that the speaker has a steady position.

Finally, tighten the spikes with the appropriate screw nuts.

You find further information on the setup below in the chapter "Installation".

Note:

To protect wooden floors, we recommend the use of washers, which you can get from

your dealer. Alternatively, you can also use any metal discs for bridging.

Dust-Caps:

The loudspeakers are equipped with dust-caps per default. These are simply attached

to the speaker front and can be removed with low force through pulling them off, as we

recommend. Even though these dust-caps have been designed according to acoustic aspects,

the best sound performance can be achieved when they are removed from the loudspeakers.

Foam-Plugs in the bass reflex tube:

The bass reflex tubes are sealed with a semi-permeable foam

stopper.

DO NOT

remove this to change the bass response.

The tuning of the speakers is chosen by us in a way that you

achieve the maximum tonal performance

WITH

these plugs. If

you want to boost bass, you can do so by using the Bass

setting in the Speaker Setup.

Speaker Placement

Listening Position

As shown in the illustration to the right, the two speakers

and your listening position ideally form an equal-sided

triangle with the edge lengths A and B. The distance A

between the Speakers should be smaller than the

distance B between the speakers and yours listening

position. Distance A should be min. 2 meters.

Position in your listening room

Because of physical laws, a positioning of the speaker

closer as 80 cm to a wall causes an increase of the bass

reproduction. So you should try to keep this as the

minimum distance. By changing this distance you can

adjust the bass intensity.

If this is not possible due to your room situation, you can correct this with the "Position" setting in

the setup (see below). If the speaker is closer to a wall than 50 cm, select the setting "Near a

wall". If the speaker is in a corner, select the “Corner” setting.

You can also configure the speakers differently.

E.g., if one speaker is placed near a wall, the second in a corner.

Angling

Depending on the orientation and angle of your speakers you can change the brilliance, the

depth of the stage and the room reproduction.

The installation of the speakers is significant for the resulting sound.

Experiment

with different settings and let your hearing

judge!

An alignment of the speakers in parallel

heading to your listening position ensures gentler heights.

An angling of the speakers towards the listening position

provides present heights / more brilliance.

In many rooms, it is good to tilt the speakers backwards, ie turn the

front spikes far out and the back far into it. This may result in a

larger sound image with higher image.

In contrast, straight alignment of the speakers will cause that the

stage is more compact and more come to the forefront.

Muting and Locking the Loudspeaker

Muting the speakers

Pushing the encoder while the status is shown mutes both loudspeakers (so you can turn off

music quickly without the need of your Audio Source).

Pushing again will unmute the speakers immediately.

They will also be unmuted after 10 seconds (this value can be changed in the setup menu).

Locking the speakers

To lock the speakers and prevent unintended changes of the parameters, push and hold the

encoder while in status view. Both speakers will be locked then (do this to prevent

misconfiguration from your children!)

To unlock, push and hold the knob again.

Un-powering the loudspeakers will remove the lock.
