LOUDSPEAKER CARE

Each TAD Reference One loudspeaker has a polymer finish that requires care similar to a grand piano. For accumulated dust and fingerprints, simply wipe the cabinet with the included cleaning cloth.

CAUTION: Do not use any cleaners or polishes on the cabinet or grille!

In areas of high humidity, use a dehumidifier, and in areas of excessive dryness, use a humidifier to adjust the room’s humidity level. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, and do not install in areas near by heating appliances.

Conditions considered unpleasant by humans are detrimental to speakers as well. Providing a comfortable environment for the speakers will assist them in demonstrating their best performance. Please maintain the usage environment as follows:

Temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C

Relative Humidity: 35 % to 65 % (winter)

40 % to 70 % (summer)

When using room air-conditioners or stoves to rapidly cool or heat room spaces, take precautions to avoid excessive dehumidification.

Do not try to force a low-powered amplifier to produce loud volumes of sound (the amplifier’s harmonic distortion will be increased, and you may damage the speaker).
