FINAL SOUND 300i Loudspeaker Manual vs. 1.3 -US- c FS 2007RJ 23

Is a Final loudspeaker protected against overloading?
Basically: yes. The design of the Final Inverted series of electrostatic loudspeakers has been done
with the protection of the user in mind and the protection of the loudspeaker against mistreatment.The
design has several levels of protection built into the electronics. One of those circuits protects against
overloading. In case of an overload condition, the loudspeaker will shut off for a short period of time. If
the overload condition is persistent, please reduce the volume of the amplifier. But, protecting a
loudspeaker is always a trade off between simply cutting off musical information and allowing dynamics
to surpass reasonable sound levels. Before serious damage can be done, every loudspeaker will first
give a clear warning signal by means of severe audible distortion. That’s the moment to lower the
volume. If the state of overloading (and severe audible distortion) will continue, serious damage to the
panels can occur. Because of the protection circuit’s ‘trade off’ behavior, we do not guarantee that this
circuit will protect the loudspeaker against all possible kinds of mistreatment. Damage resulting from
such mistreatment is not covered by our warranty conditions.
