Wartung und Pflege

• Reinigung: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the speaker surfaces. Do not use liquid cleaners or sprays directly on the speakers.
• Platzierung: Vermeiden Sie es, Lautsprecher direkter Sonneneinstrahlung, der Nähe von Wärmequellen oder hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit auszusetzen. Sorgen Sie für ausreichende Belüftung um die Lautsprecher herum.
• Kabelmanagement: Keep cables tidy and untangled to prevent damage and ensure optimal performance.
• Lagerung: If storing the speakers for an extended period, disconnect them from power and audio sources, and store them in a cool, dry place.

Fehlerbehebung

If you encounter issues with your speaker system, refer to the following common solutions:

• Kein Ton:
  • Ensure the power pack is securely plugged into both the speaker and a working wall outlet.
  • Prüfen Sie, ob der Lautstärkeregler am rechten Lautsprecher aufgedreht ist.
  • Verify that the audio input cable is firmly connected to both the speaker and your audio source.
  • Confirm that your audio source (computer, MP3 player) is playing audio and its volume is not muted or too low.
  • If headphones are plugged into the speaker's front jack, remove them.
• Verzerrter Klang:
  • Reduzieren Sie die Lautstärke sowohl an den Lautsprechern als auch an Ihrer Audioquelle.
  • Auf lockere Kabelverbindungen prüfen.
  • Test with a different audio source or cable to rule out external issues.
• Ein Lautsprecher funktioniert nicht:
  • Ensure the speaker cable connecting the left and right speakers is securely attached at both ends.
  • Verify that the audio source is providing a stereo signal.
• Interference/Humming:
  • Stellen Sie die Lautsprecher in ausreichendem Abstand zu anderen elektronischen Geräten auf, die Störungen verursachen könnten.
