Careful installation will help ensure that your Aegis Neo speakers perform 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 13.

This manual covers the Aegis Neo One, Three and Centre. Following the introduction, it is divided into sections covering handling, installation,

3. NEO ONE INSTALLATION

The Aegis Neo One is intended to be used mounted on speaker floor-stands. Alternative mounting arrangements such as wall brackets are possible although these may result in reduced performance. If wall brackets are to be used they should be as rigid as possible and firmly attached to brick-built walls.

The construction style, rigidity and dimensions of the floor-stands are of critical significance to the performance of the Aegis Neo One. Stands should broadly follow the specification below. Your retailer or distributor will be able to offer advice.

positioning, connection, amplifiers, listening, specifications, warranty and contact information. We recommend that you read at least the first six of these sections carefully before installing and using your speakers.

2. HANDLING

Aegis Neo speakers are relatively delicate precision engineered products that can be damaged by inappropriate handling. Please take care when unpacking or moving them not to touch any of the drivers. Damage to a driver will at best degrade performance and at worst result in complete failure.

The enclosure surfaces should also be handled sympathetically. Any cleaning should only require a soft cloth, slightly dampened if necessary. Do not use any polishes or solvent based cleaning agents.

The packaging should be retained for future use.
