system

Basic information

CAUTION: THE ALUMINIUM SURFACE OF THE Loewe Stand Speaker Slim ID
IS VERY SENSITIVE TO SCRATCHING AND IMPACT. AVOID ALL CONTACT WITH
SHARP OBJECTS. DO NOT PLACE VASES, CANDLES OR OTHER OBJECTS ON TOP
OF THE UNIT.
CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE Loewe Stand Speaker Slim ID TO AN AM-
PLIFIER OUTPUT, WHICH EMITS FREQUENCIES ≤ 150 HZ, IN ORDER TO AVOID
DAMAGING THE LOUDSPEAKER.
• Place the speaker on a fi rm, level base.
• Hold the speaker on the sides and base plate when moving it. If the fabric
lining becomes creased when doing so, please smooth this out carefully with
your hand.
• Carefully pull the protective fi lm off the trim on the top.
• Please note, that the speakers consist of a right and left unit. A mark is on
the product label at the base of each unit.
• Do not place the speakers near to strong sources of heat or in direct sunlight.
• Pull out the power adapter during thunderstorms. Surge voltages caused by
lightning strikes can damage the unit.
• Also remove the power adapter in long periods of absence.
• The power adapter set must be easily accessible so that the unit can be
disconnected from the power supply at all times.
• Lay the speaker and power cables in such a way that they cannot be dama-
ged. The power cable may not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, not stood
on and not exposed to chemicals; the latter also applies to the system as a
whole. A power cable with damaged insulation can lead to electric shocks
and is a fi re risk and must therefore be changed by qualifi ed service personnel
before operation of the set continues.

Functional principle

The electrostatic speaker element used is an inverse high-voltage unit with
dipole emission and additive treble array, activated by specially adapted high-
voltage electronics.
The effi ciency is twice as high as conventional electrostatic speakers thanks to
the inverse arrangement and activation of the stators and speaker diaphragm.
The surface emission of the sound means the volume heard remains in the
range from 1 to 6 m hearing distance.
The combination of surface emitter and dipole operation comes closest to the
natural sound propagation of the original instruments and sounds.
The natural characteristics of the sounds are retained as far as possible with this
technology.
A widening of the emission angle so as to enable several listeners to enjoy the
sound simultaneously has been achieved by the additional asymmetrical treble
array. The left and right speakers are therefore different.
This innovative acoustic concept has been made possible by the use of new
materials, surface fi nishing, production processes and electronic circuits.
This technical refi nement is devoted solely to the aim of meeting the most
demanding acoustic expectations and reproducing the natural characteristics of
the original sound unobtrusively and appealingly in your living room.
Optimum arrangement
Please note, that due to the the operating principle of the Loewe Stand Speaker
Slim ID, the sound is emitted on the front and rear side.
It is useful if the distance from the walls (to the rear as well as left and right) is
about equal, so that the sound distribution into the room may be optimal.
In addition, the sound emission is directional.
It is therefore recommended to arrange the speaker in a way, that they face into
your preferred listening position (page 12).
