SAFE LIMITS
OF OPERATION
Damage to loudspeakers can occur when an amplifier, regardless of its wattage, is made to play at higher listening levels than it can produce at low distortion levels. This is usu- ally beyond the “noon or 1 o’clock” position on the volume control. Operation at this level can result in very high levels of audible distortion originating in the amplifier, which can add a harsh, gritty sound to your listen- ing material. Contrary to popular belief,
a speaker is more likely to be damaged by trying to get too much volume from a low- powered amplifier or receiver than from a
