Safe Limits of Operation

Your Polk Audio AutoSound equipment is constructed of the highest quality materials for years of trouble-free perfor- mance. You should be aware that damage to loudspeakers can occur when an amplifier, regardless of its wattage, is made to play at higher listening levels than its power can clearly produce. 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 listening material. If you hear distortion—turn it down or risk damaging your speakers. You can damage any speaker, regardless of power rating, if you push any amplifier, regardless of power rating, to the point of distortion.

Limites d’opération

Vos composants Polk Audio AutoSound sont fabriqués de matériaux de la plus haute qualité pour vous assurer perfor- mance, fiabilité et durabilité. Cependant, les haut-parleurs peuvent être endommagés lorsqu'un amplificateur, quelle que soit sa puissance, est poussé au delà de ses limites. L'amplificateur surchargé génère alors un niveau élevé de distorsion, le son devenant rauque et éraillé. Si vous enten- dez de la distorsion, baissez le volume immédiatement sinon vous risquez d’endommager sérieusement vos haut-parleurs. Un haut-parleur, quelle que soit sa capacité de puissance, risque d’être endommagé si un amplificateur, quelque soit sa puissance nominale, est poussé au point de distorsion.
