Information
Unpacking
These Scansonic speakers were carefully tested and inspected during production and
before packaging and shipping. After unpacking please check for any damage. It is rare that
a unit is damaged during shipping, but if this does happen contact your retailer immediately.
We recommend that you keep the original carton and packing material for future shipping.
Recommended Speaker Setup
Correct speaker placement has a huge impact on sound quality. There are many different
theories, but all rooms and tastes are different so it’s impossible to specify a correct
placement. We do suggest you experiment with a few different locations to see what is best
for you.
For the best bass response on Scansonic, we recommend that you keep a minimum
distance of 20-25 cm between the speakers and the rear wall. For height, position the
speakers with the tweeters at eye level of your most common listening position.
Speaker Conditioning and Break-in
Although a break-in period is not required, we recommend that you play between 24 to 48
hours of music through the speakers before doing any critical listening or speaker placement.
Speaker Cleaning
We don’t recommend using any solvents or cleaners on cabinets or speaker driveunits. Just
wipe down with a soft, dry cloth.
