First of all, thank you for deciding on quadral 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
