•Most speaker damage is caused by amplifiers with too little power (wattage).
•An overdriven amplifier clips the waveforms and sends distortion to the speakers.
•Clipping is usually audible; it may vary from a harsh sound to a fuzzy or unclear sound.
•If you hear this condition at loud volume levels, turn down the volume until the distortion is no longer present.
•Damage caused by operating the speakers at distorted volume levels is not covered by the warranty.
EXAMPLE OF 70V/100V SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
70V/100V
C
5 SPEAKERS CONNECTED IN PARALLEL USING 16W TAPS
NOTE: The total number of speakers multiplied by the tap value cannot exceed the output power (in watts) of the 70V
/100V amplifier. The above example shows 5 total speakers. Using the 16W taps, you will need an amplifier with at
least (5) x (16) = 80W. A good rule of thumb is to select an amplifier with 20% greater power; in this case, an amplifier
that delivers about 100W.
Component Checklist
Read these instructions carefully before using the product
1. When installing the speakers outdoor, check that the wall structure is reliable and that the speaker is firmly
attached.
2. Do not place the speakers on a turntable or movable structure.
3. Do not touch or bump the woofer and tweeter. If these are damaged, the sound will be distorted.
4. Be sure when switching input devices that the amplifier is first turned off to prevent any damage.
5. Don’t attempt to clean the speakers with chemical solvents as this may damage the paint surface. Clean with
a dry cloth.
