                CAUTION!

Some of our amplifiers are capable of producing a sound pressure level that can cause permanent
damage to your hearing system. High sound pressure levels combined with long time listening can give
permanent damage to your hearing system. Choose a listening level  that is comfortable for your ear.

comfortly and clearly, without any distortion. Sudden sound shocks are dangerous.
