Danger of injury or damage!

When moving the speaker, take care to avoid injury and damage!

Caution!

Since the speaker can only be completely disconnected from the mains at the

mains input on the rear of the unit or by pulling the mains plug from the socket, it

must be positioned so that you have free access to the mains input or mains plug.

If any of the following situations occurs, the loudspeaker must be switched off

immediately and disconnected from the mains. Contact Nubert electronic GmbH

([email protected]) immediately!

• The speaker has been damaged or has fallen down.

• Power cord or plug is damaged

• Objects or liquid have got into the loudspeaker

• The speaker has been exposed to excessive moisture or rain.

• The speaker does not work properly or exhibits a signicant reduction in per-

formance.

• The loudspeaker smells burnt, develops smoke or makes unusual noises.

Caution!

The driver in this loudspeaker produces a strong magnetic eld in its immediate

vicinity that can affect or damage other equipment close by. It is therefore im-

perative that you keep magnetically sensitive devices and items away from the

loudspeaker. Never place CRT screens, notebooks, hard drives or similar on

the loudspeakers!

Only use accessories recommended by Nubert!

Installation instructions

Caution!

An unstable location can damage the speaker.

• Only place the loudspeaker on a at, stable surface and make sure that it

cannot be knocked over!

• Also make sure that no unintentional pulling can occur on the cables to avoid

knocking over the speaker or damaging the connection sockets!

• Keep strong mechanical shocks away from the loudspeaker!

Caution!

Excessive heat build-up inside the unit can shorten its service life or lead to re.

• Never cover the back of the speaker! Make sure that there is a clearance of at

least 10 cm and sufcient air circulation in the back area!

• Do not operate the speaker and remote control near heat sources such as

radiators or stoves!

• Do not set the speaker and remote control to direct sunlight.

• Do not expose to direct sunlight!

• Never place burning candles or similar open re sources on the loudspeaker!

Danger of explosion!

Installation in unsuitable locations can cause explosions. Do not use the speaker

or remote control

• in environments where there is a risk of re or explosion!

• at extremely low or extremely high temperatures!

• near ammable gases or vapours!

• near strong dust!

• near ammable materials!

Danger of electric shock!

The loudspeaker carries mains voltage and voltages higher than 35 V AC or DC

inside. It has no special protection against the intrusion of liquids or objects into

the system. There is therefore a risk of lethal electric shock.

• Never touch the speaker with wet hands!

• Only use the speaker in a dry place!

• Do not operate it outdoors or in damp rooms!

• The loudspeaker must be protected from liquids of all kinds, including dripping

and splashing water.

•

Do not place any containers containing liquids (e.g. ower vases) on the speak-

er or in the immediate vicinity!

• If the loudspeaker is moved from a cold environment to a warm room, conden-

sation may form inside the unit. Wait at least six hours until the loudspeaker

has reached room temperature and is dry before switching it on!

• No objects or foreign bodies may get into the device.

• Should the loudspeaker come into contact with liquids or should objects have

got inside, please unplug the mains plug immediately and contact Nubert elec-

tronic GmbH ([email protected])!

Danger of injury or damage!

The threaded bushings on the bottom of the speaker may only be used as

described in the quick start guide! They are not designed for tensile loads perpen-

dicular to the bottom of the housing and must therefore not be used as a mount-

ing point for hooks or similar appliances to suspend the box from the ceiling.

A falling speaker may cause serious injury and damage.

Connection instructions

General connection instructions

• Disconnect the mains plug before changing any wiring on the system!

• Make sure that all connections have been made correctly and that all plugs

are rmly seated in the sockets before connecting the speaker to the mains.

• Use only the intended cables or plug connections for the connections! Failure

to do so may result in damage or malfunction.

•

If you want to disconnect connections on the loudspeaker, always pull the plug,

never the cable!

• Ensure that all plugs are rmly seated in the sockets!

• Only use cables and accessories recommended by Nubert!

Danger of electric shock!

Faulty mains supply systems or excessive mains voltage can lead to electric

shocks.

•

All power supply or antenna systems connected to the loudspeaker must com-

ply with all applicable laws and regulations and be professionally installed by

an approved installation company.

• Use only the appropriate power cord to connect the speaker. Do not modify

the power cord or its plug.

• Make sure that the mains voltage at your location matches the requirements

of the loudspeaker! The correct power supply can be found on the label on the

back of the speaker. It must not be connected to other power supplies.

• Devices of Class 1 construction must be connected to the mains power socket

outlet with a protective earth connection. Make sure that the installation of the

protective earth is carried out correctly!

• When laying the power cables, make sure that they cannot be damaged (e.g.

by heating or mechanical stress)! Pay particular attention to the areas of the

connectors and distributors!

Caution!

Overvoltage in the power supply system (e.g. due to lightning) can damage or

destroy the device and power supply unit.

• An overvoltage protection element can provide a certain degree of protection

against excessively high voltages in the power grid.

• However, the greatest possible protection against damage can only be

achieved with the complete separation from the mains supply.In case of thun-

derstorms or danger of lightning strikes, disconnect the mains cable from the

socket and any antenna plugs from your hi- system!

• If the speaker is not used for a long period of time or is unattended, the power

supply should be disconnected. Disconnect the mains plug from the socket!

Unpacking and Scope of Delivery

Unpacking

When unpacking your speaker, do not use sharp or pointed objects to avoid

possible damage to the enclosure. Please keep the packaging in a safe place

in case you need to transport the speaker at a later date.

Scope of delivery

If the delivery is complete, it contains the following parts:

• 1 Subwoofer

• 1 Mains cable with angled plug, 3 m

• 1 Y-subwoofer cable, mono cinch plug to 2x angled chinch plug, 3 m

Auto-oﬀ

The subwoofer has an automatic power off function. If the LINE IN input is se-

lected, the subwoofer switches to standby mode after no more than 20 minutes

without a signal. For this input the automatic switch-off can be deactivated via

app. The stand-by power consumption is 0.5 watts.

If WIRELESS IN is selected as the input, the subwoofer follows the wireless

transmitter that acts as the master. This function cannot be be deactivated. The

standby power consumption is 0.6 watts.

Auto-on

The subwoofer has an auto-on function that can automatically wake the sub-

woofer up from standby mode when a signal is sensed. This function is only

active if the subwoofer was set to standby by the auto-off function. To wake up

the subwoofer, a signal must be present at the input that was selected when the

loudspeaker went into standby. If the subwoofer was set to standby using the

on/off button in the app, the auto-on function is disabled.

1.1. Nubert (Nubert electronic GmbH, Goethestraße 69, 73525 Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany) grants a special manufacturer‘s warranty to the purchaser on certain prod-

ucts of the Nubert brand, for which we state this in the offers or in the corresponding product documents, or for which these warranty conditions are enclosed with the

delivery, according to the following conditions.

For products of other manufacturers and brands that you purchase from Nubert, the legal warranty rights apply. Provided that other manufacturers grant their own

warranties, claims arising from these warranties are only justiﬁed against these manufacturers, but not against Nubert.

1.2. The legal rights of the purchaser, in particular the legal right of withdrawal or the statutory warranty rights, shall remain unrestrictedly available to the purchaser

in addition to the warranty and shall be available to the purchaser to the full extent. The consumer’s legal rights may, of course, be utilized free of charge and are not

restricted by the warranty.

1.3. The warranty period for Nubert speakers in passive technology (without built-in ampliﬁer) is 5 years from delivery to the ﬁrst purchaser. In the ﬁrst two years this

applies without restriction. After the second year, the warranty is limited to the functionality of the drivers, the electrical connections and electronic components (cross-

over). In particular, optical changes to surfaces (e.g. foiled, painted, veneered, anodized or plastic surfaces) are no longer covered by the warranty after the second year

has passed.

1.4. The warranty period for Nubert speakers in active technology (with built-in ampliﬁer, e.g. active speakers and subwoofers), as well as electronic devices of the

Nubert brand (e.g. ampliﬁers and active tuning modules) is 2 years from delivery to the ﬁrst purchaser.

1.5. The warranty period for Nubert accessories (e.g. cables, cable accessories, stands, holders, speaker casters, speaker covers) is 5 years from the date of delivery to

the ﬁrst purchaser. This applies without restriction for the ﬁrst two years. After the second year, the warranty is limited to the functionality of the accessories. In particu-

lar, optical changes to surfaces (e.g. painted, veneered, anodized or metal, fabric or plastic surfaces) are no longer covered by the warranty after the second year has

passed.

1.6. In each case, the proof of purchase of the ﬁrst purchaser is the warranty certiﬁcate.

1.7. The warranty includes and is limited to the repair or replacement of the defective part free of charge in case of a quality defect of the goods (e.g. material defect or

manufacturing defect) or a replacement delivery (concurrently against return of the defective product) at our discretion. In addition, Nubert will cover the shipping and

return costs of the affected product from or to the curb in the case of justiﬁed warranty claims, provided that the goods are located within the states of the European

Union and the shipment has been coordinated with Nubert in advance. Additional services are possible as a gesture of goodwill at Nubert’s discretion. It is assumed, that

a quality defect, which becomes apparent within the warranty period was already present at the time of the transfer of perils. Replaced parts or products returned in the

case of a replacement delivery become the property of Nubert. Warranty services do not result in an extension of the warranty period, nor do they initiate a new warranty

period. The warranty period for installed spare parts ends with the warranty period for the entire device. The acceptance or performance of warranty services is made

without acceptance of liability according to statutory warranty law.

2. A warranty claim does not apply in the event of

• repair attempts of any kind not previously agreed upon with Nubert

• improper operating environment or improper storage (e.g., damage due to moisture or particularly high or low temperatures)

• improper transport packaging (the original transport packaging, used in its entirety, provides sufﬁcient protection)

• improper mechanical impact on the goods (e.g. damage caused by dropping, scratches and damage to housings, displays and remote controls, switches, connection

sockets or antennas after delivery), especially on loudspeaker chassis (e.g. depressed membranes/domes)

• improper mounting (e.g. of switches, antennas, covers, feet or brackets) or improper connection / improper operation (e.g. operating with defective or unsuitable ampli-

ﬁers or other source devices with DC voltage or unusually high ripple voltage at the source device output) as well as the effect of ampliﬁer power on speakers outside

their speciﬁcation (e.g. sine power of the ampliﬁer is far above the rated power handling of the speaker)

• individually assembled cables.

3. Do not disassemble or remove any components from our devices and loudspeakers (e.g. drivers), and do not send in such individual parts before you have contacted

Nubert Service and agreed on this measure.

4. In the event of a warranty claim, the defective product must be packed together with a copy of the purchase receipt and a meaningful description of the defect into the

original packaging, if possible, and sent to us (see below for address). We recommend to coordinate the return with us in order to receive the free return ticket. Returning

the goods within the warranty period is sufﬁcient to meet the deadline.

5. Address your correspondence, any returns and suggestions to:
