Dear MAGNAT Customer,
Congratulations on your fine new loudspeakers and thank you very much for choosing MAGNAT! You have
made an excellent choice. The high-quality speakers produced by MAGNAT are renowned all over the world.
Please study the instructions and information below carefully before using your new loudspeakers.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Please read through the instruction manual carefully before starting to use the device. This manual contains
important information concerning operation and safety aspects. It is imperative you observe all of the
information. Keep the manual in a safe location.
• WARNING NOTICES: All of the warning symbols on the speakers, accessories and in the instruction manual
itself must be adhered to.
• EXPOSURE TO HEAT: Only operate the speakers and accessories in a temperature range from 10°C to
40°C.
• The speakers should not be positioned near heat sources (heaters, ovens, radiant heaters, naked flames,
etc.). When setting up close to an amplifier a minimum distance of 10 cm must be maintained.
• The distance between the active subwoofer enclosure and the walls of the room or other objects
(e. g. furniture, shelf units) may not be less than 5 cm on any side.
• The aluminium plate and cooling fins of the amplifier at the rear of the active subwoofer serve to cool the
built-in amplifier; for this reason, they must also be at least 5 cm away from all objects and must not be
covered (e.g. by a curtain).
• EFFECT OF MOISTURE: The speakers should not be exposed to dripping or splash water. Neither should
they be used to support vases or other containers filled with liquid. Do not expose the speakers to water or
high levels of humidity. There is a danger of electric shock. In the event of contact with moisture or liquids
remove the mains adapter immediately.
• FOREIGN MATERIAL: Ensure that no foreign material enters through the speaker openings and into the
interior. This could trigger short circuits and even result in electric shock and fire.
• CLEANING: Please use a soft, dry cloth with no cleaning agents, sprays or chemical solvents, as these could
damage the surfaces.
• ELECTRICAL CONNECTION: Please note the voltage levels on the information signs. The mains adapters
for the speakers and the transmitter should only be operated with the voltage and frequency values specified
on the signs.
• LIGHTNING PROTECTION/PREVENTIVE MEASURES: If the device is not going to be used for a prolonged
period (e.g. when on holiday), it should be disconnected from the mains by removing the plug. The device
should also be disconnected from the mains in the event of a thunderstorm. Doing this will prevent damage
caused by lightning and overvoltage.
• MAINS CABLE: The mains cable must always be suitable for operation and it should only ever be laid out
in a manner that prevents it from being trodden on. It should not be pinched by objects either, as this can
damage the cable. When using plugs and power strips it must be ensured that the cable is not kinked at the
point where it emerges from the socket. Do not connect or remove the mains cable with damp hands.
• OVERLOAD: Sockets, power strips and extension cables should not be overloaded. If an overload occurs,
there is a risk of electric shock and fire.
• SETTING UP: Please read the installation instructions. If you want to mount the speakers on the wall, follow
the description in the installation instructions.
• The speakers should only be positioned or mounted on a solid surface and not on moving base frames,
otherwise there is a risk of injury.
DAMAGE THAT MUST BE RECTIFIED BY A SPECIALIST:
If any of the following damage occurs, disconnect the speakers and transmitter from the mains immediately
and contact a specialist to conduct the repair work:
• Damage to the mains cable or the mains plug.
A damaged cable should not be repaired, but must be replaced.
• If moisture or water has entered the device or foreign objects have fallen into the device.
