USER MANUAL MORO-80P®LOUDSPEAKER 03
01. Introduction
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing to purchase the MORO-80P loudspeaker.
Engineered for exceptional acoustic properties, sound quality and aesthetics, the
MORO-80P is an elegant Hi-Fi Passive loudspeaker with a unique design that can
easily adapt to any environment.
Extensive tests in the anechoic room and the help from professional musicians
inspired us to develop the MORO-80P, a truly unique product with unrivaled sound
clarity, dynamic response and broad low frequency bass range.
The second order filter and the aluminum cabinet volume have been engineered to
equalize the sound to attenuate annoying middle frequencies for a warm and
pleasant sound.
The solid aluminum made cabinet and all components have been carefully selected
to work perfectly and harmoniously together to give you the best quality sound.
Your MORO-80P is rated at 80W RMS Output Power providing great bass
response and powerful sound indoors or outdoors, together with 360 degree
sound for ambience for an extraordinary experience.
Eng. Daniele Martinelli

one is ribbed or red (+), and the other plain or black (–).
- Connect the speaker cord to the speakers. Connect the positive wire to the
positive (red) connector on the loudspeaker; Connect the negative (black) wire to
the negative (black) connector on the loudspeaker.
- Connect the speaker cord to the amplifier. Connect the speakers on the left side
of the listening area to the left channel of your amplifier. Attach the positive
(ribbed) wire to the red (+) terminal. Attach the negative (plain) wire to the black
(–) terminal. Connect the speaker on the right side of the listening area to the right
channel of your amplifier, as above.

USER MANUAL MORO-80P®LOUDSPEAKER 08
- Use always an audio amplifier with maximum 150W RMS Output Power per
channel.
- If you drive the speakers with a weak amplifier, you won’t get the best potential
from them and further distortion from related clipping can happen. Clipping effect
can damage the speaker as well.
- Before turning the amplifier on, check carefully if there is any short circuit
between the two binding posts caused by the wires and be sure the binding posts
are clamped enough.
- Don’t even invert the polarity of the cables along all the acoustic chain: Source,
Mixer, Amplifier, Loudspeakers.
- Remember to turn on always the source/mixer before the amplifier in order to
damage the speakers and vice-versa when turning off.
