Mains Power Safety Warnings

Ensure that your Aego-T Subwoofer is set to the appropriate mains input voltage before it is connected to a mains socket. The warranty does not cover damage caused by incorrect mains voltage. The grilles are designed to protect the drive units from damage and should not be removed.

Please read all operating and safety instructions before use retaining them for future reference. Adhere to all warnings on the product or in this manual.

Power sources — the subwoofer should be connected only to a power supply of the type described on its rear panel. If you are not sure consult your dealer or a qualified electrician.

Power cord — Power supply cords should be routed so as not to be walked on or caught under or against items.

If the mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

Ventilation — To ensure reliable operation and to prevent the subwoofer from overheating ensure good ventilation. Do not cover the subwoofer and do not place it closer than 10cm from walls or soft furnishings. Do not use in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided. Consult your dealer.

Water and moisture — The subwoofer should not be used near water, i.e. near a wash-bowl, basin, in a wet basement or swimming pool area.

Do not expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects filled with liquid such as vases are placed on the apparatus.

Temperature — The subwoofer may not function correctly at extremely low or freezing temperatures. The subwoofer should also be sited away from heat sources such as radiators or other electrical equipment that produces heat, including other amplifiers.

Electric shock — Care should be taken so that objects are not inserted into connectors or other apertures and that liquid does not spill into the enclosure. Never attempt to dismantle the subwoofer as serious electric shock might occur if the internal parts are touched.

Cleaning — Unplug the subwoofer from the wall power outlet before cleaning. Use only a clean, dry cloth. Do not use cleaners, liquids or solvent based preparations to clean the cabinet.

Smells — If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected, immediately turn the power off and unplug the subwoofer from the wall power outlet.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Aego-T. Perhaps more than any other audio-visual product, speakers are sensitive to installation so please take a little time to read this manual and to follow, as far as practical, the installation guidelines it contains. Careful installation will help ensure that your Aego-T system performs optimally. Should you have any questions not covered here we are happy to try and answer them either by telephone or email. Contact information can be found in Section 11.

Following this introduction, the Manual is divided into sections covering Handling, Installation and Positioning, Wall Brackets, Connections and Amplifiers, Controls and System Setup, Specifications, Warranty and Contact Information. We suggest that you read at least the first six sections carefully before installing and using your Aego-T system. We would also draw your attention to the Mains Power Safety Warnings on this page.

Finally, please enjoy your Aego-T system, but remember it is capable of generating high volume levels of low frequency sound, so please also be considerate of your neighbours.

2. Handling

Aego-T comprises relatively delicate precision engineered items that can be damaged by inappropriate handling. They are also heavy and in the case of the subwoofer large. Please take great care therefore when unpacking, moving and installing them. Please take care when unpacking or moving the speakers not to touch any of the drivers beneath the fabric grilles. Damage to a driver will at best degrade performance and at worst result in failure.

The enclosure surfaces should also be handled sympathetically. Any cleaning should only require a soft cloth, slightly dampened if necessary. Be wary of using any polishes or solvent based cleaning agents.

The packaging should be retained for future use if possible or appropriately re-cycled.
