Making sure your MicroPod
sounds as good as it is meant to
RUNNING-IN PERIOD
We recommend a running-in period of your new MicroPod loudspeakers of
approximately 15-20 hours at normal listening level before you decide on the nal
positioning of the loudspeakers. During the running-in period, the drive units will settle in
to perform as intended.

MicroPod cabinets. The cabinet surface usually only requires dusting or cleaning with a
damp soft cloth (only use cold clean water). Avoid touching the drive units, especially the
tweeter, as damage may result.
