OperationSpecifications

Listening at Higher Volumes

It requires more power to achieve a rea- sonable volume of sound in a large room than it does in a small room. It is possi- ble (even if you are not a teenager) to turn the volume so high that the amplifi- er runs out of power. This creates “clip- ping” distortion.

Clipping distortion makes treble sound very harsh and unmusical. When you hear harsh sounding treble from any good speaker, turn the volume down immedi- ately! Those harsh sounds are masking some much more powerful ultra-high-fre- quency sound spikes which will quickly damage any fine loudspeaker. You are much less likely to damage a speaker with a large amplifier because it will be very loud indeed before it produces any clip- ping distortion.

Cleaning

You can clean the speaker with a damp- ened soft cloth or paper towel. If the speaker is mounted high up on a wall or ceiling, use a broom to gently brush it off.
