PACKAGING
Save all packing material. It is essential for shipping in the event the unit ever needs repair.
NOTE: If original packaging is not used to return the unit to the service centre, damage in
transit will not be covered by warranty.
POWER HANDLING
Power rating with regards to loudspeakers denotes how much power the loudspeaker can
handling for a sustained period of time without distortion. These speakers are rated to accept
up to 50 watts RMS.
WATTS
The most consistent standards for measuring watts are “Program Power” and “RMS” because
these measure average sustained levels. Any low impedance amplifiers with an output of 2 x
10w - 2 x 50w (@ 8 ohms) are suitable for use with these speakers.
NOTE: The power output from an amplifier depends on the number of loudspeakers attached.
8 ohms normally denotes two loudspeakers attached
4 ohms normally denotes four loudspeakers attached

purchase.
If you find you do have a problem with this product, you should contact the AV reseller you
purchased this product from. The original purchaser is responsible for shipment of the product
to the manufacturer’s appointed service centre for repair.
We will endeavour to return repaired units within 5 working days, however this may not always
be possible, in which case it will be returned as soon as practicably possible. In line with our
WEEE commitments, the manufacturer endeavours to replace the faulty parts of the product
rather than replacing the whole unit. This warranty does not protect this product against faults
