Listening at Higher Volumes

Outdoors there are no walls to reflect and contain the sound and typically the ambient noise level is louder. This causes the system to require more power to achieve a reasonable listening level than it does when you are listening indoors. In addition, you are frequently further away from the loudspeaker. It is possible to turn the volume so high that the amplifier runs out of power. This creates “clipping” distortion.

Clipping distortion makes treble sound very harsh and unmusical. When you hear harsh sounding treble from any good speaker indoors or outdoors, turn the volume down immediately! Those harsh sounds are masking some much more powerful ultra-high-frequency sound spikes that will quickly damage any fine loudspeaker.

Cleaning

The rock loudspeaker should not require cleaning. The formation of dirt and molds on the cabinet will add to the natural look of the loudspeaker. However, if you desire to clean the loudspeaker you can clean the RS5 with a dampened soft cloth or a paper towel. Hosing the loudspeaker off with a garden hose or high pressure cleaner is not recommended, the drivers, especially the tweeter, can be damaged by a high-pressure stream of water. The use of chemical cleaners should also be avoided.
