Unpacking the Speakers
The AUDIUM speakers are delivered in separate cartons. Alter opening them, remove the
poly-foam 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 totally into the
designated winding-drills. Take care that the speaker has a steady position.
Finally, tighten the spikes with the appropriate screw nuts.
Further information on the installation 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 oft, it you
desire.
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
Burn-In
Loudspeakers are equipped with moveable parts. Thus they require a specific “Burn-In
time” until these parts can move in the required tolerance range. After this period, the
loudspeakers can develop their full acoustic potentials.
For the burn-in of your new AUDIUM speakers you can play back music signals with a very
broad frequency spectrum for 1-2 days. Preferably you can use a special burn-in CD (e.g.
containing pink noise signal) or a radio receiver after turning it to an unassigned
frequency.
After a period of time when you do not listen to music, the speakers also will fall back into
a state close to being new. So again, give them some time to warm up again.
You will notice the effect the “burn” them in from minute to minute.
