Operating Your Speakers
Once installed, your Focal OEM 690CA1 SG speakers are designed to integrate seamlessly with your car's audio system. These speakers are passive components and require an external amplifier or head unit to function.
Audio System Integration:
- Ensure your head unit or amplifier is properly connected to the speakers.
- Adjust the audio settings on your head unit or amplifier to optimize sound quality. This may include adjusting bass, treble, and balance settings.
- Avoid excessive volume levels that can cause distortion or damage to the speakers.
Warning: Listening at high sound levels (above 110dB) can permanently damage your hearing. Avoid prolonged exposure to high volume levels.

Your Focal speakers are designed for durability and require minimal maintenance. Following these simple guidelines will help preserve their performance and appearance:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe down the speaker grilles and cones. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

- Inspection: Periodically check speaker connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
