Recommendations
We would like to point out that our products can generate high sound pressure.
Remember that exposure to high volumes beyond a certain amount of time can lead to irreversible hearing
loss.
We recommend that you always set the volume to 0 before you switch on an audio source, then increase
it slowly until you reach the required sound level.

Assemble the headphone stand by following the directions (fig. A to D).
Install the product in a cool, dry place away from any heat sources. Ensure that nothing is placed on top
of Arche, with the exception of the headphone stand and a set of headphones, which must be placed on
the stand.
Place the four silicone pads under each of the four feet.
