5. Funcionament

5.1 Encès inicial

After connecting the speakers to your amplifier/receiver, plug in and power on your audio equipment. Start with the volume at a low level and gradually increase it to a comfortable listening level.

5.2 Període de rodatge

Like most new speakers, the Jamo S 809 may benefit from a "break-in" period. This involves playing audio through the speakers at moderate volumes for several hours (e.g., 10-20 hours). This allows the driver surrounds to loosen up, potentially leading to improved sound performance.

5.3 Grille Attachment

The speaker comes with a magnetic grille. You can choose to use the speaker with or without the grille. The grille protects the drivers from dust and accidental damage. For a different aesthetic, the grille can be easily removed by gently pulling it away from the speaker baffle.

6. Manteniment

To maintain the appearance and performance of your Jamo S 809 speakers:

• Neteja de l'armari: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the cabinet surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Neteja de la reixa: If the fabric grille becomes dusty, use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment on a low setting to gently remove dust.
• Eviteu la llum solar directa: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the cabinet finish to fade over time.
