OPERATION
LISTENING AT HIGHER VOLUMES
Achieving a reasonable volume of sound in a large room requires more amplifier power than it
does in a small room. It is possible to turn the volume up so high that the amplifier runs out of
power. This creates “clipping” distortion, which will make treble sound very harsh and unmusical.
When you hear harsh-sounding treble from any good loudspeaker, turn the volume down
immediately! Those harsh sounds are masking much more powerful ultra-high-frequency sound
spikes, which will quickly damage any fine loudspeaker. You are much less likely to damage a
loudspeaker driven by a large amplifier because it will be very loud before any clipping
distortion is produced.
CLEANING
To clean the enclosure, use a dampened soft cloth or paper towel. To clean the grille, use a gentle
vacuum cleaner.
