Improper use may lead to damage or fire.
• Do not place open flames such as burning candles or
similar on the unit.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.
• Only use the unit in indoor areas.
• Do not use the unit in damp areas and protect it from
drops of water and splash water. Also take care not to
stand vases or other containers filled with liquid on or

case.
Danger Danger of injury/damage!
Incorrect location may result in damage.
• Never use the speakers unmounted in vehicles, in unsta-
ble locations, on wobbly tripods or furniture, on insuffi-
ciently dimensioned brackets etc. The speakers could tip
or fall down and cause injury to persons or be damaged.
• Only place the speakers on the floor.
• Arrange the speakers so that they cannot be knocked over
accidentally and make sure that the cables do not pose a
trip hazard.
• Exactly adhere to the assembly instructions.
• Only use the enclosed base plate.
• Do not place the speakers near sources of heat (e.g.
heaters, ovens, other heat generating equipment such as
amplifiers etc.).

when playing and suffocate.
• Do not allow children to play with the unit or the packing
film. Danger of suffocation.

Danger to hearing!
Loud noise may lead to hearing loss.
Very high noise pressure may suddenly be emit-
ted, especially if a device is activated and set to full volume.
This may have psychological consequences and also cause
physical injury. Children and pets are particularly at risk.
• Set the volume control of your signal source to a low
setting.
• When the volume is set high, always keep a certain
distance from the unit and never place your ear directly
on the speaker.
• To avoid damage to health, avoid extended listening at
high volume.

Setup
Note
Our website contains comprehensive notes for correct
setup.
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free from
dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in direct
sunlight.
• Arrange the connector cables so that they do not pose a
trip hazard.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or the speak-
ers.
• Make sure that the speaker has a stable position to prevent

Connecting
Danger Danger of injury/damage!
Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a
trip hazard.
• Pull the power plug of your AV receiver or multi-channel
active subwoofer out of the socket.
• Lay the speaker cables from your AV receiver or multi-chan-
nel active subwoofer to each speaker. These cables should
be high-quality double-wire speaker cable with marked
strands. The diameter should amount to at least 1 mm2.
• A connector comprising two terminals is located on the
back side of each speaker, to which you have to connect
the speaker cables.
• The terminal clips are each marked red (+) and black (-).
Make sure the polarity is correct!
Connect the like coloured terminals. Otherwise,
the sound quality will suffer.
The speaker connections of your AV receiver or multi-chan-
nel active subwoofer should be marked similarly. The
strands of the speaker cables are marked with different
colours or shapes.
1. Split the single wire down to approx. 30 mm on both ends
and strip approx. 10 mm of insulation off of each cord.
2. Twist the stripped single wire ends together so that no wire
protrudes. Tin coating is not necessary.
3. Turn the connector terminal counterclockwise until loose.
Run the stripped cable end into the now visible hole. Close
the terminal by turning it counterclockwise. The cable has
now been clamped in place.
4. Connect the cables to the other speaker in the same way.
5. Connect the speaker cables to your AV receiver or mul-
ti-channel active subwoofer. The operating instructions of
the appliance should contain notes on this.
Crossover frequency
The ideal separation frequency for these speakers is
150Hz. Set this value on your AV amplifier, multi-channel
active subwoofer or on your decoder station.

Clean the speakers regularly with a soft, damp microfibre
cloth. Please be absolutely sure to observe the following
notes in the process:
• If possible, only use plain water without any additives. In
case of stubborn marks, a mild soap solution may be used.
• Make sure that no liquid penetrates the unit.

The following advice should help you to solve problems. If this does not help, you will find useful information in the detailed FAQs
on our website. Otherwise, please contact our hotline. Take note of the warranty instructions.
Problem Possible cause Solution
Playback is noisy.
In general, the speakers are very low-noise.
In most cases, the speaker system with
exceptional resolution in the high range
area can expose the poor quality of a signal
source (e.g. from MP3 files).
Ensure that the source is sending a clear signal.
The sound seems dull. The speakers have been connected with
the wrong poles.
Verify the correct connection of the cables for all
speakers.
Disposal of the unit
Used units must not be disposed of with
household waste.
If the unit is no longer operational, every consum-
er is required by law to dispose of used devices
separately from household waste, e.g. at a collec-
