the amplifier’s clipping generates high frequency energy sufficient to damage the high frequency driver.
Alesis does not suggest the use of any external protection devices, but considers such devices as fuses, lamps and/or thermal breakers safe to use, so long as they do not cause failures or require modifications to the Monitor One's construction which would void the warranty. Actually, many such devices are generally considered ineffective and can additionally alter the speaker's sound character, an undesirable trait for a studio monitor.
The best protection against speaker failure is to mix at a reasonable listening level.
