Please read this manual before using the product in order to give you the needed
product and installation instruction to assure a seamless installation and non
compromised overall sound quality.
Thanks for purchasing our APart OVO8T speaker. Budget and quality sound united:
welcome the OVO-speakers. This series of cabinet speakers fit into any décor or
interior style. The OVO8T can be used in both 100V- and 16Ohm-systems thanks
to an easily accessible selection switch. The OVO8T uses a new bracket system that
allows a wide range of positioning. In case you want to place your OVO on a flat
surface, you can remove the bracket. We have designed a stand incorporated in
the foot of the speaker. The sturdy ABS plastic housing guarantees years of trouble
free musical enjoyment. Affordable, but by no means a compromise on sound
quality – typically APart!

Use the correct polarity when daisy chaining speakers! When a mistake occurs
in your daisy chain, it can severely impact speaker performance as there will be
audio-cancellation.
The daisy chain options are endless and the setup will depend on the capabilities of
your amplifier. Make sure when daisy chaining speakers that the total impedance is
not lower than the lowest specified impedance of your amplifier. Not following this
rule might result in distorted sound and might even damage your amplifier.
