10. ed at the RCS of St Etienne under the number 309 645 521 000 76 The loudspeakers use a pure Beryllium inverted dome tweeter that extends the bandwidth up to 40672 Because of the Beryllium potential dangerousness the material that constitutes the tweeter some safety instructions described below must be followed by the user of the loudspeakers in order to avoid any risk of this material absorption However the risks are extremely limited in its solid form as the product dangerousness is linked to the inhalation absorption or contact of vapours or micro particles 1 Safety instructions The Beryllium dome must never be in contact with abrasive material You must avoid any contact with the skin or the eyes any inhalation or ingestion of the whole or a part of the Beryllium dome The manufacturer underlines that the Beryllium absorption by respiratory digestive tracts or skin can lead to serious physical troubles because of its high toxicity for man We then recommend to the loudspeaker users to carefully keep the tweeter protection grille in place If the protection grille is removed the user will have to carefully replace this grille after use Generally speaking children must be kept away from loudspeakers and especially from the Beryllium dome 2 In case of dome damaging If the Beryllium dome is damaged in any possible way you must cover it as soon as possible on all its surface with the supplied protection adhesive tape We reco
