Unpacking
In addition to one loudspeaker and a user manual (such as this one), each SM9 carton should contain:
• A power cord.
• A guarantee card.
• 3 protection grilles for the transducers (you are advised to remove the grilles before listening to the speakers).
• A plastic bag containing an information note "Beryllium inverted dome tweeter", and some adhesive tape to affix on the
tweeter in the unlikely event of the dome being damaged.
Please check that none of these items are missing, and remove all accessories from the carton.
Considering the heavy weight of the SM9 monitors (35kg per unit), we advise you to be 2 people to unpack and to position
your monitors.
To remove the loudspeaker from its carton without damage, open the end flaps fully and bend them right back. Then
remove the upper cushion and lift the loudspeaker out gently. Inspect the speaker for signs of any possible damage.
In the unlikely event of this having occurred please inform the carrier and supplier. It is a good practice to keep the packaging
in case of future transportation.
Preliminary recommendations
We would like to give a word of warning about the high sound pressure levels that can be generated by these loudspeakers,
especially in a 5.1 configuration. Because of their low levels of distortion, and the minimal fatigue incurred by the user, it is
not always obvious to realise the actual sound pressure level while working.
Please bear in mind that exposure to excessive levels over a sustained period of time may lead to permanent hearing loss.
