Running-in / Care & Maintenance
Running-in the loudspeakers The moving parts of a newly manufactured Focus loudspeaker have been acoustically
checked after production, but nevertheless are not as flexible as they need to be for
optimum results to be realized. The higher the quality of any driver system, the more
demanding the loudspeaker will be regarding time for running-in the system.
A newly unpacked Dynaudio loudspeaker therefore requires several weeks running/
playing to reach its optimum performance capability. After that period, a couple of minutes
before every listening session will be helpful to “warm up” the loudspeakers.
Power rating Due to the construction and the driver technology the Focus loudspeakers can be driven
with very high power levels. With a high quality amplifier, delivering undistorted signals,
the speaker can achieve high volumes without any compromises in sound quality.
Also, as the Focus models
are easy to drive, even high quality amps with lower power
rating can drive the loudspeaker to yield excellent results.
Attention must be given to amplifiers with very low power and adjustable tone controls or
switches. These types may soon overreach their own performance limits and may send
distorted output signals to the speakers, compromising even high quality technology. Any
damage caused under such circumstances is not covered by the Dynaudio warranty and
is easily avoided in the first place by consulting your Dynaudio dealer for advice regarding
the choice of amplifier.
CAUTION
DISTORTED OUTPUT SIGNALS
Distorted output signals from too weak, defective or overloaded amplifiers may damage
the loudspeakers.
X Use high quality amplifiers only and run loudspeakers and amplifiers within specified
power ratings.
