First of all, thank you for deciding on AURUM loudspeakers.
It is to satisfy the high expectations of music lovers and connoisseurs such as you that
we build loudspeakers of a class that is well above average. Even though you may
already be familiar with them, we list below a few ground rules that will enable you
to make optimal use of your loudspeakers.
Safety advice for passive loudspeakers
Please take time to read through the manual carefully and follow all the steps
describing how to set up and operate the loudspeakers. Keep the manual
somewhere you can quickly access it should you have any questions later on.
• The stability of loudspeakers (especially large units) depends on the nature of
the surface on which they stand. Carpets are often very poor for stability. Even an
average bump can cause a loudspeaker to fall over and be a hazard for persons
or pets in the vicinity. Stability can be significantly improved by using “spikes”, but
care should be taken during assembly as the sharp points can cause injury and
the spikes can damage the floor. On smooth floors, the loudspeakers can be
stabilised with Velcro or double-sided tape. Loudspeakers should never be used
as a seat or as a substitute for a ladder!
• Use only wheeled furniture, stands or wall mounting systems and other devices for
attaching and installing the products, which are available from the manufacturer
and are sold for or with the product. To avoid damage or injury through tipping
over, please be careful when moving table devices or stands on which the
speakers are mounted. If wall-mounting the product, take special care that all
components are securely screwed! Additional securing equipment (chains, etc.)
should be fitted.
• The location for the loudspeakers should be dry and not too cold. Constant high
humidity or strong sunlight (UV radiation) can cause your loudspeakers to age
prematurely and consequently affect their functioning.
• Very high volume levels for long periods of time are not only annoying for your
neighbours, but can also be harmful to the health of the user!
• When loudspeakers are overloaded with very high volume levels, there is a risk
of individual components in crossover circuits or individual speakers burning out.
In particularly bad cases, it is even possible for fire to break out inside a speaker.
Speakers operated at these extremes should therefore not be left unattended.
• At high volumes, voltage levels of 30–50 V can be present at speaker terminals
and components. Be very careful not to touch uninsulated terminal contacts of
speakers when in operation. To avoid injury, never put hands or arms into sound
outlets (bass reflex tubes). Children and pets, in particular, are at risk from this.
