This product, when used in combination
with amplification and/or additional
loudspeakers, may be capable of produc-
ing sound levels that could cause perma-
nent hearing loss.
DO NOT operate at high volume levels
or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you
experience any discomfort or ringing in
the ears, or suspect an hearing loss, you
should consult an audiologist.
To protect your speakers
When choosing a power amplifier to use with your
speakers, make sure that its power output matches the
speakers’ power capacity (refer to the Specifications on
page 7). Even if the amplifier’s power output is lower
than the speakers’ PGM (program) power capacity, the
speakers may be damaged when clipping of a high input
signal occurs.
The following may cause damage to speakers:
•Feedback caused when using a microphone.
•Continuous high sound pressure level produced by
electronic instruments.
•Continuous high-power output distorted signals.
•Popping noises caused by turning on equipment, or
by connecting or disconnecting system components
while the amplifier is turned on.
Poly Switch
All full-range loudspeakers are fitted with a self-reset-
ting poly switch that protects the high-frequency driver
from damage caused by excessive power.
If a loudspeaker cabinet loses high-frequency output,
immediately remove power from the unit and wait for
two to three minutes. The should allow the poly switch
to reset. Re-apply power and check the performance of
the high-frequency driver before continuing with the
power reduced to a level that does not cause the poly
switch to interrupt the signal.
On the R118W/R118WC sub woofer, the Poly Switch
protects the woofer and a similar routine should be fol-
lowed if its output is lost.
