5. Transport and storage
The original packaging is unsuitable as permanent storage and transport packaging.
When transporting and storing the unit, it is important to ensure that the surface of the swi-
vel bracket are not damaged. Moisture can penetrate where steel surfaces are exposed by
scratches and result in corrosion.
In addition, appreciable dust deposits may considerably impair the functionality of a loudspe-
aker membrane. For this reason, the loudspeakers should be transported and stored in a
safe, careful, dry and largely dust-free manner.
