Safety information

As all Dynaudio Esotec and Esotar Series components are passive (in that they rely on external amplification),
the components themselves can not cause any damage.
However, the components can be damaged beyond repair unless a few ground rules are observed:
X Insure all components are properly installed and wired correctly.
X Observe the technical specifications.
X Always use high-quality cabling and amplification.
HIGH SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS
CAUTION
Listening to high sound pressure levels over a prolonged period of time
may harm your hearing.
X To avoid auditory effects do not listen to high sound levels over a long period of time.
