frequency resonances that are not harmonically related. By
doing so, their amplitudes are greatly reduced. The cabinet
construction tolerances are so tight that only computer-
controlled tooling can cut panels with acceptable accuracy.
The cabinet rigidity lowers even more any chances of
coloration caused by unwanted vibrations. Special materials
are used to ensure stability of the cabinet in any acoustical
environment.
Care of the Finish
The black piano finish available for the Tamino is composed of
high-grade Italian lacquer. You will only find them on luxury
pieces of furniture. They are long-lasting finishes and need little
care.
Never use any solvent or abrasives to clean your speakers. To
remove fingerprints, use a lint-free cloth moistened with a few
drops of water.
Use a clothes brush to clean the black velvet front panel. A
transparent packing tape works also very well.
The Verity Audio direct gold-plated solid-copper binding posts
have been specially designed to introduce a very low
impedance path for high-power signals. To keep it at its best,
we recommend cleaning them every year with one of the
special contact cleaners available on the market. The best
results can be obtained from products that have been specially
formulated for gold-plated connectors.

Troubleshooting
This section describes how to solve common problems you
may encounter when using your loudspeakers. Many problems
have simple solutions, so try these suggestions before you call
your dealer or Verity Audio support (see the Maintenance
section of this manual).
This section contains problems and solutions related to the
operation of your hardware. Try the solutions in the order
listed within each section.
OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS
Make sure:
1. all your audio apparatuses are plugged into a power source
and turned on. Their respective power light indicators
should be on;
2. every interconnect cable is connected properly and firmly;
3. every interconnect cable conduct signal normally;
4. your audio equipment selectors and controls are suitably
adjusted (source selector, volume control(s), mute selector,
etc.);
5. your software (CD, LP, Tape etc.) is properly installed and
currently running;
6. the connections are secure and there are no leads touching
each other. See the Installation section for details about
connecting your loudspeaker.
SONIC PROBLEMS
Make sure:
1. every transducer is currently working and that none of them
seems to make any abnormal noises;
2. all polarities are respected and that all cables are properly
installed;
3. every transducer is properly sealed and that no air leak
seems to occur around the transducers while playing.
The sonic performance is closely related to your room inherent
characteristics, your speaker positioning and your ancillary
equipment. We recommend that you experiment with these to
find the best solution. For help, contact your dealer or your
Verity Audio service representative at (418) 682-9940 or email
