Snell Acoustics AMC550mp owner manual Listening Levels And Power Handling, wall

Note: The AMC550mp is sold in mirror-imaged pairs. On the back of each system is a label that specifies the screen direction. In the diffuse mode, the response will be slightly superior in this direction. Install the two systems so that the arrows point toward the screen. If listeners are not going to be located on or near the center axis of the speaker, the speaker should be oriented with the arrow toward the listener location (even if this is away from the screen).

Warning: To prevent electrical shock, always switch off the amplifier or receiver when making connections to the speaker.

Important: Typically, one side of the wire is smooth. Connect this side to the – (black) speaker terminal. The other side has a rib or stripe. Connect this to the + (red) speaker terminal. Connect wire at the amplifier in the same way. Failure to do so will result in degraded sound.

5. Install speaker according to diagram below.

Important: Do not overtighten screws. Doing so will break the frame and/or make it impossible to insert the grille.

LISTENING LEVELS AND POWER HANDLING

The power recommendation for the system assumes you will operate the amplifier in a way that will not produce distortion. All speakers can be damaged by even a modest amplifier if it is producing distortion. If you hear a gritty noise or other signs of strain, turn down the volume. Prolonged or repeated operation of your speakers with a distorted signal can cause damage that is not covered by the warranty. It is especially important that you do not overdrive the bass capability of smaller speakers. Watch for noises, such as pops, caused by the music’s bass line. Use of the loudness control and/or full bass boost at louder volumes is likely to overdrive the woofer. Use such controls sparingly.
