PLACEMENT IN A ROOM
As a rule of thumb, Gradient Helsinki sounds the best in a
position where it also looks the best. So start from that.
Place loudspeakers around 45 degrees sideways towards
to backwall. In this placement magnet side of the woofers
should point towards the backwall, i.e. inwards
(Room placement 1.)
Tilting has a noticable effect on bass reproduction. The more
you toe-in, the stronger bass you will get. Also the further
away from the wall you use them, more sideways towards
the wall they can be positioned.

MAINTENANCE
Once you have found the best possible placement for
Gradient Helsinki speakers, there is little need to move
them anymore. If you have to carry speakers, use the upper
part of the woofer hole in loudspeaker frame for lifting and
carrying.
Oiled plywood surface will slightly change its color during
the years. Direct sunlight makes this darkening faster. This
aging is normal for real
wood and will give your Gradient
Helsinki a unique look and feel. It does not affect the louds-
peaker performance or the structure of the wooden frame.
However, it is advisable to apply small amount of furniture
oil with cloth to wooden surface regulary once a year. This
treatment protects loudspeakers against aging and the
effect of sunlight.
