How is it possible to hear in stereo from only
one speaker?
Inside the wood cabinet there are two ( Model L ) or
four ( Model XL ) acoustic chambers, for the left and
right channels. Using the embracingSound
®
algo-
rithm Model l/Xl creates a real stereo reproduction
with two acoustic chambers that are very close to
each other.
How do I clean the device?
Use a soft, dry cloth to avoid making scratches on
the surface. do not use cleaning alcohol, or other
solvent fluids to clean the surface of the Cabinet as
this can both damage the lacquer and also cause
electrical failures. Before cleaning, unplug the device
from the AC power outlet.
