Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out
of your equipment by playing it at asafe level. One
that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving.
Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So what sounds
"normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against
this by setting your equipment at asafe level
BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish asafe level:
•Start your volume control at alow setting.
•Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established acomfortable sound level:
•Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking aminute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage
or loss in the future. After
all, we want you listening for alifetime.
We Want You Listening For ALifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide alifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hear-
ing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until
it is too late. this manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged
exposure to excessive noise. This list
of sound levels is included for your protection.
Decibel
Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bed{Qom away from traffic
SO Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet-office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic. lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad
