Running-in period
Access drive units use the very latest components. To ensure such complex mechanical elements
work in harmony with each other, they must be allowed to function correctly in this environment.
Changes in temperature and humidity are regarded as very hostile. In order to get the best of
your Access speakers, a running-in period must be respected to ensure they are ready for this. We
recommend that, once the system is ready for listening, the drive units should be run-in with medium
volume setting, with music that has the full bandwidth of frequencies (sub-bass through treble).
This running-in period should last for a few weeks, to gain the full potential. After which the
excellent performance of your Access products can be fully appreciated.
Which power for your amplifier?
Access speakers are already highly efficient, with improved sensitivity. Therefore, their use with a
high power head unit will produce comfortable listening pleasure.
However, if used with a more high-end system, with Focal amplification, the audio quality will
be greatly improved. It is very important to ensure that the rated power of the amplifier suits the
speakers used. Otherwise, your speakers may distort or possible damage may occur.
Always consult the owners manual of the principal source (head unit/amplifier), to ensure the
power rating is compatible. A safe guide is to ensure the maximum power of the amplifier is not
greater than the nominal power of the speakers.
