Unpacking & installation
Ideally, at least two people should carefully lift each speaker out of its transport packaging.
Alternatively, position the box onto it’s side with the top of the speakers facing up (look for the branded Saltwood logo text to orientate), remove the buckles and then gently pull the speaker out of the box.
Be careful not to touch the woofer and tweeter and be careful not to place down with the binding posts face down.
The speaker may be lifted and brought to its final destination using the port as a handle. Be careful not to allow any hard or sharp objects to be compressed between the person lifting and the speaker. Objects such as metal zips, metal watches are best removed or covered. On hard surfaces, they may be slid into position by placing on a cloth.
Connect speaker wires (red = + positive and black = – negative).
Care & usage
The speakers have a natural matt finish, which is smooth and tactile. They do not suffer from finger marks. The Osmo natural oil used to protect the speakers is food safe, highly water repellent but also microporous to allow the wood to breathe. An ultra-smooth finish can be brought back by lightly rubbing with 5000 grit wet & dry paper.
Do not expose the speakers to abrasive surfaces. Scratches are best left to acknowledge as part of wear and tear and lifecycle. Sanding or buffing “out” may cause a miss match in the colouration of the surface.
Do not expose to water or use in wet environments. They are high-fidelity speakers and meant for indoor use.
The tweeter diaphragm is very sensitive and should not be touched to prevent damage or soiling. Beryllium produces toxic vapours on ignition.
