8 Care of Your Avalon Loudspeakers
Cabinet
Avalon Acoustics’ hardwood finished loudspeakers are supplied with a
special polish and two lint-free polishing cloths, in order to properly care for
the high quality furniture lacquer. The following polishing instructions should be
observed:
IMPORTANT: Use the supplied furniture polish ONLY. Do NOT use cleaners
that contain ammonia, strong solvents, or abrasive materials. Use of these
materials can degrade, scratch, or even DESTROY the finish.
1. Apply the supplied polish to one of the clean, lint-free polishing cloths (or
use cotton cloth that is clean and lint-free), and carefully wipe it on the
cabinet. Be careful NOT to apply the polish to the loudspeaker drivers.
WARNING: Do NOT apply polish to the loudspeaker drivers.
2. Wipe off the excess polish until the desired luster is achieved.
Crossover Cabinet
Your Sentinel crossover cabinets are manufactured with high-density solid
surface material. This beautiful finish also requires minimal attention. The
cabinets should be dusted with a soft, non-abrasive cloth, moistened with
water.
Felt Anti-diffraction Masks
The felt anti-diffraction masks may be removed from the cabinet and gently
vacuumed to remove dust. If the felt masks are removed, please note the
inside-outside orientation when re-installing the upper felts. The holes for the
tweeter and midrange are beveled on the side toward the listener, to provide
ideal dispersion characteristics.
Drivers
The drivers (sub-woofers, woofer, midrange, and tweeter) require no regular
maintenance. Do not attempt to clean the midrange or tweeter domes, as
they are easily damaged. If desired, you may remove dust from the sub-
woofer and woofer cones by using a small, soft dusting brush.
