3. Installation and Positioning

Welcome to Aego-T. Perhaps more than any 
other audio-visual product, speakers are sensitive 
to installation so please take a little time to read 
this manual and to follow, as far as practical, 
the installation guidelines it contains. Careful 
installation will help ensure that your Aego-T 
system performs optimally. Should you have any 
questions not covered here we are happy to try 
and answer them either by telephone or email. 
Contact information can be found in Section 11.

Following this introduction, the Manual is divided 
into sections covering Handling, Installation 
and Positioning, Wall Brackets, Connections 
and Amplifiers, Controls and System Setup, 
Specifications, Warranty and Contact Information. 
We suggest that you read at least the first six 
sections carefully before installing and using your 
Aego-T system. We would also draw your attention 
to the 

Important Safety Instructions

 on this page.

Finally, please enjoy your Aego-T system, but 
remember it is capable of generating high volume 
levels of low frequency sound, so please also be 
considerate of your neighbours.

Aego-T comprises relatively delicate precision 
engineered items that can be damaged by 
inappropriate handling. They are also heavy and 
in the case of the subwoofer large. Please take 
great care therefore when unpacking, moving and 
installing them. Please take care when unpacking 
or moving the speakers not to touch any of the 
drivers beneath the fabric grilles. Damage to a 
driver will at best degrade performance and at 
worst result in failure.

The enclosure surfaces should also be handled 
sympathetically. Any cleaning should only require a 
soft cloth, slightly dampened if necessary. Be wary 
of using any polishes or solvent based cleaning 
agents.

The packaging should be retained for future use if 
possible or appropriately re-cycled.

Important Safety Instructions

Ensure that your Aego-T Subwoofer is set to the appropriate mains input voltage before 
it is connected to a mains socket. The warranty does not cover damage caused by 
incorrect mains voltage. The grilles are designed to protect the drive units from damage 
and should not be removed.

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other 
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. A grounding type plug 
has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your safety. 
If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement 
of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, 
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the 
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution 
when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long 
periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the 
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is 
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus 
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects 
filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

16. The MAINS plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain 
readily operable.

17. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or 
moisture.
