DIABLO UTOPIA
U s e r m a n u a l
Accessories
Diablo loudspeakers are supplied with four steel spikes (fig. F) and four rubber cones (fig. G), to be screwed as required onto the four
metal inserts located in the base of the loudspeaker.
These spikes guarantee excellent stability for the loudspeakers, particularly when the floor is not perfectly straight and smooth. This
stability is essential for the energy provided by the woofer cone to be fully reproduced in sound form. The height of the spikes can be
adjusted so that the four spikes rest on the floor in a uniform manner, without any tilt. We advise you to place the pads between the
floor and the spike to avoid scratching tiles or damaging wooden floors.
The loudspeaker can be placed on an optional stand, specifically designed for it.
Running-in period
The speaker drivers used in the Diablo loudspeakers are complex mechanical assemblies which need a running-in period to
operate at their best and to become acclimatised to the temperature and humidity of your environment. This running-in period
varies depending on the conditions in question and may take several weeks. To reduce this time, we recommend operating
your loudspeakers for about twenty consecutive hours at medium volume, with standard music that is rich in bass. Once the
loudspeaker's characteristics have totally stabilised, you will be able to enjoy its full potential.
Important precautions
The loudspeakers have a gloss finish for a highly resistant surface and to make them easier to clean. This generally
involves simply dusting with a dry duster. If the loudspeaker is marked, we recommend that you use just a damp
duster. Never use solvents, detergents, alcohol or corrosive products or abrasive scourers to clean the surface of the
loudspeaker. Never allow the speaker drivers to come into contact with a liquid or even a damp or lint duster. Avoid
positioning the loudspeakers near to any heat sources.
Choosing an amplifier
It is not an excess of amplifier power that can damage your loudspeaker and drivers, but rather a lack of power. In fact, if the
volume is too high, the amplifier saturates and generates parasite signals that may destroy the tweeter.
The dynamic capacity and definition of Diablo loudspeakers are high enough to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of whatever
amplifier is connected to them. Your dealer will be able to guide your choice to suit your tastes and budget.
Warranty terms and conditions
All Focal loudspeakers are covered by warranty drawn up by the official Focal distributor in your country. Your distributor can
provide all details concerning the conditions of warranty. Warranty cover extends at least to that granted by the legal warranty
