VIBE Space Series Subwoofer User Manual

1. Introduktion

This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of your VIBE Space Series 12-Inch Subwoofer. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the product to ensure optimal performance and safety.

The VIBE Space Series subwoofer is engineered for high-fidelity low-frequency sound reproduction, capable of achieving high Sound Pressure Levels (SPL). It incorporates VIBE R&D's Mechanical Thermal Unity technology, featuring a one-piece alloy cone and a flanged alloy voice coil former that work together to enhance voice coil cooling. This design allows the alloy cone to act as a thermal exchanger, dissipating heat generated by the voice coil through its constant mechanical movement, ensuring efficient and automated thermal management.

2. Sikkerhedsoplysninger

Overhold altid følgende sikkerhedsforanstaltninger:

• Sørg for, at alle forbindelser er sikre og korrekt isolerede for at forhindre kortslutninger.
• Udsæt ikke subwooferen for overdreven fugtighed eller ekstreme temperaturer.
• Afbryd altid strømmen, før du udfører nogen form for installation eller vedligeholdelse.
• Kontakt en professionel installatør, hvis du er usikker på noget aspekt af installationsprocessen.
• Avoid operating the subwoofer at distortion levels, as this can cause damage to the speaker and amplivligere.
