Service / Maintenance / Warranty
Your loudspeakers need not be maintained. Changes in acoustic behavior will be minimal during many years so that
the human ear will probably change even more than the speaker.
Clean your speakers only with a soft, dry and smooth cloth,
or with a dust brush. Do not use scouring powder, alcohol, benzine, French polish, or the like.
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
some know-how to restore the faultless function 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 contract 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.
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 appliance independently and
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 a maximum production quality, ELAC produce each qualitative component - from the
voice coil to the magnet - themselves. Their extensive vertical integrated production guarantees constant superior
product quality.
Loudspeaker Disposal
Please keep the cardboard box and packaging.
Since the box and packaging represent the ideal container 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 cardboard, 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.
