Care of equipment

The fine silk matt lacquer of your audiovector
speakers is best preserved and cleaned using the
special micro fibre cloth supplied with the speak-
ers. We recommend that you wipe your speakers
with this cloth once a month (at least) to remove
dust and fingerprints and for best general
appearance.
We also recommend that you clean the plugs of
the speaker cables every six months using a soft
cotton cloth with a little alcohol on it. This way
you will avoid the slight deterioration of sound
quality which originates from the build up of third
harmonic distortion caused by gradual lack of
good contact.
Upgrading equipment
audiovector is the only speaker brand, which
includes iUc (individual Upgrade concept
technology). This technology makes it possible
to upgrade your existing speakers to a more
sophisticated model, and to realise future
improvements and technological developments.
in a world where models change only too often,
audiovector has decided to look after its end
users and make its products truly future proof.

Positioning for surround sound
For surround, please use the same position
for the front speakers as in stereo. The centre
speaker can easily be adjusted for differences
in distance via your processor. This goes for rear
speakers as well. The subwoofer can be placed in
various places in your room, using multiple
available adjustments.
Active Direct Concept allows you to build a
modular hi-fi or surround sound system, with
the aim of expanding even the smallest system
into a full active configuration with our Avex
electronic crossover and multiple amplifiers.
Individual Upgrade Concept technology gives
you the option to upgrade your speakers
whenever you want. This means that all
Audiovector's are future proof.
Low Compression Concept technology allows

to choose where you want to be positioned
when you listen. This technology means the
soundstage stays intact, wherever you are
positioned.
