Cleaning Great care and attention has gone into the materials chosen to produce the Elysée range of loudspeakers. It is our intention that they should provide a lifetime of musical pleasure. A gentle wipe with a dry, clean cloth is allthat is required to remove any dust. On high lacquer finishes, please ensure the duster is free of any foreign objects to avoid scratching the surface. You can clean with a soft and wet cloth. Clean carrefully the railing with a vacuum cleaner. Avoid touching the drive units whilst cleaning, as any damage will impair their performance. INTRODUCTION The Kubik range of loudspeaker perpetuates the long time commitment of AA to the faithful reproduction of sound. Loudspeakers Unpacking : if you think your loudspeakers have been damaged during transport, please contact immeditaly your Advance Acoustic authorised retailer. Location of loudspeakers in your living-room is very important. A good place allows to control the room defects, and avoids annoying acoustic reflections. Except K3s, We advise you not to place K5 or K7 speakers directly against the wall, either in one corner of the room, or directly on the ground ( please use the joined spikes). The reflective surfaces near to the loudspeakers can have some negative effects on the stereo image. If so, please try to move slightly the loudspeakers inside of the listenning zone till you obtain the better sound. It’s really important to the loudspeakers K5s, K7s and K9s to have the bass drivers inside so face to face. In some cases of reverberation room whose walls are far more than a metre of loudspeakers, it’s possible to reverse the loudspeakers position. K5s/K7s/K9s installation The K3s and K center loudspeakers should not be used directly on the ground, but on a stand or on a shelf without any vibration. Wiring system : Please check if all the material is switched off before starting the connections. To connect the loudspeakers, use a quality cable with polarity mark.
