Power and Loud Listening Levels

Power and Loud Listening Levels

It takes more speakers and more amplifier power to achieve a given amount of sound outdoors than it takes indoors. Keep this in mind when designing and listening to your outdoor system. Be careful how loud you turn up your outdoor system. We recommend leaving the bass and treble controls on your amplifier or receiver at their “flat” (0 dB) positions.

Audible distortion when the speakers are playing at loud levels is caused by driving (turning up) your receiver or amplifier louder than it or the speakers are capable of playing. Most receivers and amplifiers put out their full-rated power well before the volume control is turned all the way up, so the position of the volume control is a poor indicator of its power limit. If your speakers distort when you play them loud, turn the volume down!

Commercial Applications

AW Series speakers are perfect for restaurant, bar and other retail commercial applications indoors and out. Their grilles and enclosures can be readily cleaned of dust, smoke and oily films with soap and water while their robust construction ensures years of reliable operation. Definitive AW series speakers have broader dispersion and better bass than conventional commercial speakers so you will need fewer of them to cover an area with great sound. Your customers will appreciate that you have made an extra effort to treat them with high quality music in your place of business while your competitors torture their customers with harsh noise. Definitive Technology — the competitive edge!

Care

Periodically wash your AW speakers with a mild soap and water solution to remove dirt and pollutants.
