• At high volumes, voltage levels of 30–50 V can be present at speaker terminals
and components. Be very careful not to touch uninsulated terminal contacts of
speakers when in operation. To avoid injury, never put hands or arms into sound
outlets (bass reflex tubes). Children and pets, in particular, are at risk from this.
• For safety reasons, we generally forbid the opening of loudspeaker cabinets
when in operation or connected since, as explained in the above paragraph,
voltages of up to 50 volts can be present inside.
• Improper handling of mains voltage can cause fatal injury!
Passive loudspeakers must on no account be connected to the electricity
supply!
Speaker terminals may only be connected to the appropriate output terminals of
the amplifier. You should never connect these terminals to the electricity supply
(230 V/115 V) in any way since that will otherwise also immediately destroy the
loudspeaker and all connected products. Avoid fitting plugs to ends of speaker
cables that could even remotely be confused with mains supply plugs.
• Loudspeakers that are not magnetically shielded can affect the colour of the
TV picture or cause distortion. A distance of 50 cm is generally sufficient to avoid

video cassettes or other magnetic media on the loudspeaker. This could destroy
the information stored on them. Similarly,
