System Protection
The Master Reference Subwoofer incorporates a complement of sophisticated protection circuits to safeguard your system. This circuitry constantly evaluates the operation of the Master Reference Subwoofer and provides protection against potentially damaging DC input or output. Regulator operation is also continuously monitored to ensure constant voltage to the output stage. These protective systems are designed to prevent damage to the Master Reference Subwoofer or loudspeakers caused by other defective components, faulty wiring, system mishandling, or subwoofer failure.
Subwoofer Care
Because the Master Reference Subwoofer is capable of enormous power output, it important to exercise care during system operation.
Avoid any action that can generate large transient signals. Always mute the preamplifier output before switching between active sources or cueing a source component.
Do not change inputs to the subwoofer while the subwoofer is on.
Use care when listening at high volume levels. Always lower the volume level at the first sound of loudspeaker distress.
