1. General information
• Please read and follow these safety instructions.
• Keep them safe for future reference.
• Observe all warnings on the speaker and in the manual. Please check the speaker for damage before
use. The speaker must be in perfect working condition. Damaged parts may lead to personal injury
CAUTION! Subwoofers and active speakers are heavy. Be careful when lifting them to prevent
personal injury.
2. Use only as directed
• Connect this speaker according to the instructions in the manual.
• Many ELAC speakers are equipped with spikes and / or anti-slip feet. They are explicitly provided for
levelling the alignment. They have to be screwed into the thread until thread end. For levelling on an
uneven floor, it is allowed to unscrew the spikes or anti-slip feet by 2-3 turns of thread. The speaker has
always to be in perfect vertical alignment. The stability of the speaker must not be compromised by using
spikes or anti-slip feet as the speaker may tip-over.
3. Location
• Install the speakers on a level surface only
• When choosing the location of these speakers do not place them in locations that are:
• In direct sunlight
• Very humid
• Prone to vibrations
• Exceptionally hot or cold
• Near CRT Televisions (The speakers are not magnetically shielded and may cause color issues
with a CRT based TV)
• Close to magnetic cards (Since the speakers are not magnetically shielded placing magnetic
cards such as credit cards or commuter cards may cause them to fail).
WARNING! Please ensure the product is perfectly stable to avoid severe injury from tip-over. Please note, that
stability can be increased by using spikes for carpets. However, the mounting of spikes must be carried out
carefully because the spikes have very sharp ends which may cause injuries. The stability on slippery floors
can be increased by using Velcro fastening tape or double-sided adhesive tape. Do not install the speaker near
any heat sources such as radiators, heating valves, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat, or in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Don’t install the speaker in a closed rack or in a closed cupboard.
• Don’t put burning candles on or near the speaker.
• Do not install the speaker near transformers because electromagnetic stray fields can cause the
subwoofer(s) to produce humming noise.
• In combination with certain materials / lacquers / material surfaces, anti-slip feet or spike washers may
cause colored imprints on the surfaces.
