Your device will have an internal amplier and if it is playing digital les like MP3s it will also have an integrated DAC (Digital Audio
Converter). If you turn the volume up to 100%, your device will be sending a distorted signal. To avoid this, and to get the best
quality from the speaker, we recommend that you do not run your device any higher than 95% volume. Some devices output
higher than others, so you may need to reduce the volume if you experience distortion.
