CAUTION

Damage of Small Satellite Speakers

 

 

 

Selecting the correct frequency depends to a large extend on the main speakers.

 

 

 

Sometimes main speakers are specifically intended to work with a subwoofer. In such

 

 

 

cases, the main speakers can get damaged by a full-range amplifier signal.

 

 

 

X If in doubt, check the instruction manual for the main speakers for any restrictions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The table below offers some setting tips for different speaker and amplifier

 

 

 

combinations. This should only be taken as rough guidelines, as the best setup can

 

 

 

just be found by experimenting.
