We recommend that you retain the packaging in case you need to transport the AKURATE 221 speaker at a later date.

Voltage selection

Voltage selection is not needed. Your AKURATE 221 is factory set to operate from your local mains supply. The mains lead supplied may be fitted with a fused plug according to local regulations. If this is the case, always replace this fuse with another of the same type and rating.

This unit must be earthed. Use the earthed mains lead supplied. Never use an unearthed plug or adaptor.

Positioning

The AKURATE 221 speaker can be placed anywhere you find convenient but please consider the following points:

The AKURATE 221 speaker is best suited to be positioned on a floor, not a table, shelf etc. It is heavy and must be stably supported.

For best results, position your AKURATE 221 speaker as close as possible to either your left front or right front speaker.

Bass notes will be accentuated if the AKURATE 221 speaker is positioned close to a wall or in a corner.

Experimenting with the position may be necessary in order to match the sound of the AKURATE 221 speaker with other speakers in your system and the acoustics of the room.

Fabric grille

The AKURATE 221 is supplied with a fabric grille. This grille is held in place by SEKRIT-Fasteners (shielded magnets hidden within the cabinet). The grille can easily be removed by sliding it downwards (away from the magnets) and gently pulling it towards you.

IMPORTANT:

Do not attempt to remove the metal grille covering the driver.

Cleaning

Disconnect the AKURATE 221 speaker from the power supply before cleaning. Remove dust and fingerprints from the cabinet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using domestic cleaning products on the cabinet as they may damage the veneer.
