3. Installation and Positioning
Welcome to Aego-T. Perhaps more than any
other audio-visual product, speakers are sensitive
to installation so please take a little time to read
this manual and to follow, as far as practical,
the installation guidelines it contains. Careful
installation will help ensure that your Aego-T
system performs 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 11.
Following this introduction, the Manual is divided
into sections covering Handling, Installation
and Positioning, Wall Brackets, Connections
and Amplifiers, Controls and System Setup,
Specifications, Warranty and Contact Information.
We suggest that you read at least the first six
sections carefully before installing and using your
Aego-T system. We would also draw your attention
to the Mains Power Safety Warnings on this
page.
Finally, please enjoy your Aego-T system, but
remember it is capable of generating high volume
levels of low frequency sound, so please also be
considerate of your neighbours.
Aego-T comprises relatively delicate precision
engineered items that can be damaged by
inappropriate handling. They are also heavy and
in the case of the subwoofer large. Please take
great care therefore when unpacking, moving and
installing them. Please take care when unpacking
or moving the speakers not to touch any of the
drivers beneath the fabric grilles. Damage to a
driver will at best degrade performance and at
worst result in failure.
The enclosure surfaces should also be handled
sympathetically. Any cleaning should only require a
soft cloth, slightly dampened if necessary. Be wary
of using any polishes or solvent based cleaning
agents.
The packaging should be retained for future use if
possible or appropriately re-cycled.

Mains Power Safety Warnings
Ensure that your Aego-T Subwoofer is set to the appropriate mains input voltage
before it is connected to a mains socket. The warranty does not cover damage
caused by incorrect mains voltage. The grilles are designed to protect the drive
units from damage and should not be removed.
Please read all operating and safety instructions before use retaining them for
future reference. Adhere to all warnings on the product or in this manual.
Power sources — the subwoofer should be connected only to a power supply of
the type described on its rear panel. If you are not sure consult your dealer or a
qualified electrician.
Power cord — Power supply cords should be routed so as not to be walked on or
caught under or against items.
If the mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall
remain readily operable.
Ventilation — To ensure reliable operation and to prevent the subwoofer from
overheating ensure good ventilation. Do not cover the subwoofer and do not
place it closer than 10cm from walls or soft furnishings. Do not use in a built-in
installation unless proper ventilation is provided. Consult your dealer.
Water and moisture — The subwoofer should not be used near water, i.e. near a
wash-bowl, basin, in a wet basement or swimming pool area.
Do not expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects
filled with liquid such as vases are placed on the apparatus.
Temperature — The subwoofer may not function correctly at extremely low or
freezing temperatures. The subwoofer should also be sited away from heat sources
such as radiators or other electrical equipment that produces heat, including other
amplifiers.
Electric shock — Care should be taken so that objects are not inserted into
connectors or other apertures and that liquid does not spill into the enclosure.
Never attempt to dismantle the subwoofer as serious electric shock might occur if
the internal parts are touched.
Cleaning — Unplug the subwoofer from the wall power outlet before cleaning.
Use only a clean, dry cloth. Do not use cleaners, liquids or solvent based
preparations to clean the cabinet.
Smells — If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected, immediately turn the power
off and unplug the subwoofer from the wall power outlet.
