Bedienungsanleitung
Befolgen Sie nach der Installation diese Richtlinien für einen optimalen Betrieb:
- Amplifier-Einstellungen: Properly set the gain, crossover, and equalization settings on your amplifier to match the speaker's characteristics and your audio system's requirements. The M8S is a mid-range speaker, so it should be crossed over to prevent it from playing very low bass frequencies.
- Lautstärkeregelung: Gradually increase the volume to avoid sudden bursts of sound that could damage the speaker or your hearing.
- Einlaufzeit: Bevor Sie die Lautsprecher mit hoher Lautstärke betreiben, sollten Sie sie etwa 10–20 Stunden lang bei moderater Lautstärke einspielen. Dadurch können sich die Aufhängungselemente der Lautsprecher lockern und optimal funktionieren.
