Hear This!
The Loudbox 100 amplifier is capable of cleanly reproducing
the sound of your instrument at very high volume levels.
Prolonged repeated exposure to high sound pressure levels
(SPLs) without protection can cause permanent hearing
loss. OSHA has set guidelines and specified permissible
sound-exposure limits for those who work in high SPL
environments.
