SPEAKER CARE

Russound Advantage Series speakers are built with quality materials to last a lifetime. They should work for as long as you own your home and longer if you avoid the following:

•Too little power at high volumes

•Too much power

•Transients (immediate loud passages, thumps, etc.)

TOO LITTLE POWER AT HIGH VOLUMES Speakers can be damaged when they are driven by an amplifier/receiver that isn’t capable of delivering all the “clean power” that is being demanded. When an ampli- fier/receiver runs out of current due to high demand while trying to re-create musical peaks, it causes a type of output signal distortion called clipping. Clipping not only makes the music sound unclear, over time it can damage or destroy the speakers. If you’re listening at loud volumes you may be unaware that clipping is occurring, but the damage may already be done, as clip- ping damage can be instantaneous or cumulative. If you like your music loud, consider using an amplifier/receiv- er with at least 50 watts per channel but remember: you can damage any speaker with clipping, no matter how well it is built.

TOO MUCH POWER

There’s nothing wrong with driving your Russound Advantage speakers with as much power as they are rated for. The extra power helps them provide full, rich sound and excellent transient response. However, you should not be heavy-handed with the volume control. If the music begins to sound distorted in any way, back off the volume.

Speaker Care

TRANSIENTS

Transients are sudden uncontrolled signal changes that can seriously damage any speaker, including your Russound Advantage speakers. Transients may be caused by turning the system on or off while the volume is at a maximum level, or by disconnecting any hook-up cables while the system is on, creating a burst of low frequency hum. These conditions can cause serious speaker damage and should be avoided. As a general rule, always unplug the amplifier from the AC mains before connecting or disconnecting any signal or speak- er cable.

Note: Russound does not guarantee its speakers against abuse, including too little power at high volumes and too much power. Damage from clipping or too much power is revealed simply by looking at the speaker’s voice coils. When used with care and common sense, your Russound speakers should pro- vide a lifetime of listening pleasure.
