nuLine 284

Safety Instructions

• Turn off the amplifier before connecting the speaker cables.
• Ensure the speaker cables are securely connected.
• Place the speakers only in a dry location.
• Do not expose the speakers to direct sunlight.
• Overloading: The nuLine 284 features internal fuses to protect against amplifier overload. However, note that even a weak amplifier can endanger a speaker. At high volumes, weak amplifiers tend to distort, which places extreme stress on the tweeters. If the sound becomes distorted at a certain volume level, reduce the amplifier's volume setting.
• Tipping Hazard: Due to its slim design, the nuLine 284 is at risk of tipping sideways. It should never be used without the supplied traverse feet.

Cold Weather and Sound

If speakers are shipped and delivered during the cold season, they must acclimate to room temperature. Low temperatures significantly affect the moving parts of a speaker box, such as the diaphragm/voice coil, surround, and spider. These components' ability to follow rapid vibrations or make large excursions is severely limited. While not dangerous, “deep-frozen” speakers will not perform at their best acoustically. Our advice: If your new speakers arrive on a cold winter day, give them a few hours to acclimate. Your Nubert speakers will reward you with the outstanding sound quality you rightly expect from us.

Caution!

The threaded sockets are for mounting the traverse feet only! They are not designed for tensile loads and must not be used to attach hooks or similar devices for hanging the speakers.

Connection Instructions

Ensure that your amplifier/receiver is turned off before connecting the speakers. Refer to your amplifier/receiver's user manual for specific connection instructions.

Care and Cleaning Tips

Caution!

Improper handling of the speaker may result in damage.

• Turn off your amplifier before cleaning the speaker and disconnect the speaker cables from the terminal if necessary.
• Before resuming operation, ensure that all connections are correct, no short circuits exist, and the speaker is completely dry.
• Never use harsh cleaning agents or solvents such as gasoline, alcohol, or similar substances.

Cabinet

We recommend using a standard glass cleaner sprayed onto a cotton cloth for cleaning. This will effectively remove most fingerprints and dirt. Alternatively, you can use window cleaning foam. Avoid using microfiber cloths as they may cause micro-scratches. For veneered cabinets, we recommend using appropriate furniture care products.

Membranes and Speaker Drivers

Use a lint-free cotton cloth with gentle pressure to remove dust from the speaker driver. The tweeters in all Nubert speakers are protected by a grille and can also be gently wiped clean. For stubborn dust, a makeup brush from a drugstore can be used.

Bi-Amping

Caution!

Do not forget to remove the bridges on the connection terminal! The principle of separate signal supply for bass/midrange and treble areas leads to bi-amping (bi-amping = dual amplifier). This relatively elaborate method requires a preamplifier that can connect to two stereo power amplifiers: one for the bass/midrange and the other for the treble. Bi-amping is intended to provide better driver control and improved precision. However, the effort and results should be carefully considered.

nuLine CS-174

Safety Instructions

• Turn off the amplifier before connecting the speaker cables.
• Ensure the speaker cables are securely connected.
• Place the speaker only in a dry location.
• Do not expose the speakers to direct sunlight.
• Overloading: The nuLine CS-174 is equipped with internal fuses to protect against amplifier overloading. However, even a weak amplifier can damage the speaker. At high volumes, weak amplifiers may cause distortion, which can place extreme stress on the tweeters. If the sound becomes distorted at a certain point, please reduce the volume setting on the amplifier.

Cold Temperatures and Sound

When speakers are shipped and delivered during cold weather, they must adapt to the room temperature before use. Low temperatures significantly impact the moving parts of a speaker, such as the diaphragm/voice coil, surround, and centering spider. These components' ability to follow rapid vibrations or perform large excursions is greatly reduced. While this is not dangerous, "frozen" speakers are far from their acoustic peak performance. Therefore, our tip: If your new speakers arrive on a cold winter day, give them a few hours to acclimate. Your Nubert speakers will reward you with the exceptional sound quality you rightfully expect.

Battery Use

• Do not use batteries other than specified batteries. Doing so may cause fire, burns, or fluid leakage that may cause skin inflammation.
• Do not use new batteries together with old ones. Mixing new and old batteries could cause a fire, burns, or inflammation due to fluid leaks.
• Do not mix battery types (e.g., alkaline with manganese) or batteries from different makers. Doing so can cause fire, burns, or inflammation due to fluid leaks.
• Keep batteries away from children to prevent accidental swallowing and inflammation due to fluid leaks.
• Do not store or carry batteries together with pieces of metal in a pocket or bag. This could cause the battery to short, burst, or leak, resulting in fire or injury.
• Ensure all batteries are inserted according to the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so may result in fire, burns, or inflammation due to fluid leaks.
• When batteries run out, or if the unit will not be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the remote control to prevent fluid leakage.
• When storing or discarding batteries, insulate the terminal area with tape or another protective material. Mixing batteries with other batteries or metal objects can cause fire, burns, or inflammation due to fluid leaks.
