Thank you for choosing the
Electra Be loudspeakers. We are
pleased to share with you our
philosophy: “the Spirit of Sound”.
These high performance speakers
feature the latest technical
developments from Focal in terms
of speaker design, whether it is
for high fidelity or home theater
systems. In order to (make the
most of these speakers) enjoy the
maximum of their performance,
we advise you to read this user’s
manual and to keep it carefully so
that you can consult it later.
Special precautions regarding the
Beryllium dome tweeter
In its solid form, Beryllium is harmless.
However, due to its nature, certain
special precautions should be
observed to avoid exposure to
unnecessary risk.
• Under no circumstances should the
Beryllium dome be subjected to any
form of abrasive action. To ensure
no accidental damage to the tweeter
dome it is advised to carefully replace
the magnetic protection grille.
• In the unlikely case of damage to
the dome, of any form, the supplied
piece of adhesive tape should be
immediately used to seal the whole
front surface of the tweeter. The
protective cover should then be
replaced and also taped securely in
place. You should then inform the
dealer from whom you purchased
the product so that the tweeter can
be removed by a professional and
returned to the product distributor for
replacement.
• If the dome is broken in any
way giving rise to loose particles
of Beryllium, these should be
carefully collected with the use of an
adhesive tape and sealed in a zip-top
bag to be returned with the tweeter.

Magnetic disturbance
The Electra Be line speakers generate
a magnetic leakage that may interfere
with other sensitive household
appliances. It is strongly advised not to
place the speakers closer than 50cm
to your TV screen. Frame geometry
as well as colours can be severely
distorted by a magnetic field if the
loudspeaker is placed too close to the
cathode ray tube.
Generally, every sensitive element
(audio tapes, video tapes, magnetic
data storages, projector and CRTS
overhead-projector) should not be
placed too close to non-shielded
loudspeakers.
User precautions
All the products in the Electra Be
range are lacquered in order to
offer a resistant cabinet surface
and to make the upkeep easy.
We recommend the use of a dry cloth
to dust your pair of loudspeakers. If
the loudspeaker is stained, then use a
damp cloth.
Never use any solvents, detergents,
alcohol or corrosive products,
scrappers or scouring powder to clean
the surface of the loudspeaker. Avoid
placing the loudspeakers near a heat
source.
