WARNING

IMPORTANT TECHNICAL NOTE

PLEASE READ BEFORE OPERATING SPEAKERS

THE WARRANTY ON SPEAKERS IS VOID IF THE VOICE COILS ARE BURNED OR DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF OVERPOWERING OR CLIPPING.

OVERPOWERING:The volume control of most amplifiers and receivers is a logarithmic type, which means that full power may be reached with volume control at as little as the halfway point. In addition, operating the loudness feature or boosting the treble or bass controls increases power output well beyond rated levels.

AS A RESULT OF THE ABOVE FACTORS, A 30 WATT AMPLIFIER CAN PRODUCE OUTPUT LEVELS OF OVER 100 WATTS AND MAY DAMAGE YOUR LOUDSPEAKER.

CLIPPING: Clipping refers to the power level at which an amplifier begins to distort a waveform by flattening its top and bottom into a square wave-shape.When fed to tweeters and/or midrange speakers, this may result in exceeding their maximum power handling capacity, causing damage to the speaker voice coil.

CLIPPING CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY A FUZZY OR DISTORTED SOUND. IF THIS IS HEARD, LOWER THE VOLUME IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR SYSTEM.

CONTINUOUS CLIPPING WILL DAMAGE OR BURN OUT THE SPEAKERS.
