Warranty / Product control / Disposal

Your loudspeakers are maintenance-free. Changes in acoustical behaviour decrease over the years so
that the human ear will probably change even more than the speaker actually does.
Clean your speakers only with a soft, dry and smooth cloth,
or with a dust brush. Do not use scouring powder, alcohol, benzene, French polish,
wax or other agents or liquids. Do not expose your speakers to a relatively high
humidity. Temperature variations, humidity and excessive sunlight may damage the
speaker and result in optical changes.
In the case of malfunction of your speakers apply to an expert. Your special dealer
will be pleased to help you. If a loudspeaker should be destroyed through improper
use by a second person the repair requires special know-how in order to provide accurate performance
of your speaker.
Warranty
The terms of warranty are regulated individually by the law in the different countries and by the terms of
the international ELAC representatives respectively. If you have not bought your appliance in Germany,
please check the terms with your retailer. Warranty can be given by any special retailer who has been
authorised by ELAC or the respective international representative to distribute ELAC products (EU con-
tract retailers). In the case of warranty, the complete appliance together with the warranty card and the
receipt has to be handed over to the retailer.
Rubber feet
Many of today's modern furniture are coated with multiple varnishes and plastics which may be treated
with chemical agents. Some of these agents might contain substances which cauterize or soften the
rubber feet. Therefore, we would like to advise you to place an anti-slip mat underneath the loud-
speaker.
Production Control
Every production step is controlled individually. Each part of a loudspeaker (e.g. driver or crossover
network) is tested several times, from the purchase until the final assembly. In the final control every
loudspeaker is tested acoustically, i.e. skilled ears check the acoustic quality of each frequency range.
Our loudspeakers are examined with respect to polarity (incl. polarity of single drivers), distortion, and
the SPL frequency responses. In this the speaker passes a computerised test desk evaluating the ap-
pliance independently and only releasing it for packaging if the measuring values are within tolerance.
To be able to observe the tolerance limits, variations e.g. in membrane weight, the magnetic field
strength, or the values of the electric components must be severely restricted, since inaccuracies of
single components may add up in the total system. To achieve maximum production quality, compli-
ance with ELAC quality criteria and guidelines can be regarded as the most important duty.
Loudspeaker Disposal
Please keep the cardboard box and packaging. Since the box and packaging represent the ideal con-
tainer for the appliance, you should keep them for future transports.
Material-Specific Disposal
If you want to discard the packaging, please do not put it in the household waste, since here it will be
mixed up with other residual materials. Please, do not give the material to collecting points for paper or
other materials, but take it to the dealer's. The packaging represents an important recoverable material.
It consists of EPS (Styrofoam packing parts), PE (bag, foam sheet, and packing parts) as well as card-
board, which should be returned to the material resources cycle for recycling. We have an agreement
with your special dealer to take back and dispose of the material in a way that guarantees material-
specific disposal. Thus, please, take the packaging back to your dealer for disposal.
Recycling: Support the environmentally-friendly disposal of electronic industry waste. Old
electronic and electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the same manner as regular
household waste! Environmentally-friendly recycling must take place according to each
country's regulations.
