Cambridge SoundWorks Ambiance 82 2-Way In-Ceiling Speaker Systems - Manual (Page 6)

Keep the volume turned down
when connecting or disconnecting
components in order to prevent
damage from strong, non-musical
transients. This will help protect
your ears as well as the speakers.
If the speaker is overdriven for
an extended period, the high-
frequency output will be reduced.
This is a result of the automatic
tweeter protection built into each
speaker. If this occurs, simply
reduce the volume and the circuit
will automatically reset.
If you suspect there is a problem
with your
Ambiance speaker
system, contact the retailer where
they were purchased or a
Cambridge SoundWorks
Audio/Video Consultant, who will
help you track down the problem.
If together you agree there is
something wrong with your
Ambiance speaker system, return it
to the retailer that sold it to you.
Mail-order and Internet retailers
will generally require a Return
Authorization number. Products
purchased from a Cambridge
SoundWorks store may be
returned directly to the store. If
you are no longer near a Cam-
bridge SoundWorks store, you may
call us for a factory Return
Authorization. Do not return the
Ambiance speaker system or any
parts without first obtaining a
Return Authorization.
The amount of power needed to
drive loudspeakers varies signifi-
cantly. It is effected by factors such
as the size of the room, absence or
presence of in-wall volume controls,
the acoustics, the type of music, and
how loud you play the speaker.
Even the smallest Ambiance
speaker system can safely play
music with the most powerful home
amplifiers and receivers. Distortion
caused by overdriving either the
speaker or associated equipment
can cause damage, even if the
amplifier or receiver power is within
the capabilities of the speaker.
If the sound becomes “grainy” or
“gritty”, you may be overdriving the
amplifier or receiver. This type of
distortion can damage tweeters,
even from a low powered amplifier.
Turn down the volume until the
distortion disappears. If the new
level is not loud enough for your
needs, you may need a more
powerful amplifier. Contact the
retailer where you purchased your
speakers, or a Cambridge
SoundWorks Audio/Video Consult-
ant for advice.
