Getting Started

Please inspect your loudspeaker(s) carefully. Notify your Polk Audio dealer if you notice any damage or missing items. Keep the carton and packing material; this will do the best job of protecting your speaker(s) if they must be transported.

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 usually 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 origin- ating in the amplifier, which can add a harsh, gritty sound to your listening 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 high-powered one.

Guide de démarrage

Inspectez chaque haut-parleur avec soin. Si vous constatez des dommages ou s’il manque des pièces, contactez votre revendeur Polk Audio. Conservez la boîte et l’emballage—ils assureront la meilleure protection de vos haut-parleurs en cas de transit éventuel.

Limites d’opération

Un haut-parleur peut être endommagé lorsqu’un amplificateur, quelle que soit sa puissance, est poussé au delà de ses limites d’opération (typiquement à la position 12h ou 13h du contrôle de volume). L’amplificateur surchargé génère alors un niveau élevé de distorsion et le son devient rauque et éraillé. Contrairement

àce qu’on puisse penser, un haut-parleur peut-être endommagé plus facilement par un amplificateur de faible puissance poussé au delà de ses limites que par un amplificateur de haute puis- sance à haut volume.
