Perhaps more than any other hi-fi product, speakers are sensitive to installation
so please take a little time to read this manual and to follow, as far as practical,
the guidelines it contains. Careful installation will help ensure that your Aegis
Neo speakers perform optimally. Should you have any questions not covered
here we are happy to try and answer them either by telephone or email. Contact
information can be found in Section 13.
This manual covers the Aegis Neo One, Three and Centre. Following the
introduction, it is divided into sections covering handling, installation,
Aegis Neo speakers are relatively delicate precision
engineered products that can be damaged by
inappropriate handling. Please take care when
unpacking or moving them not to touch any of the
drivers. Damage to a driver will at best degrade
performance and at worst result in complete failure.
The enclosure surfaces should also be handled
sympathetically. Any cleaning should only require a
soft cloth, slightly dampened if necessary. Do not use
any polishes or solvent based cleaning agents.
The packaging should be retained for future use.
The Aegis Neo One is intended to be used mounted on speaker floor-stands.
Alternative mounting arrangements such as wall brackets are possible although
these may result in reduced performance. If wall brackets are to be used they
should be as rigid as possible and firmly attached to brick-built walls.
The construction style, rigidity and dimensions of the floor-stands are of critical
significance to the performance of the Aegis Neo One. Stands should broadly
follow the specification below. Your retailer or distributor will be able to offer
advice.
