Operation

The NHT in-ceiling speakers are designed to handle a wide range of listening levels, but every speaker has limits.  It is important to use
common sense and listen for signs of possible distress from the speakers.  Underpowered amplifiers are most often the cause of speak-
er damage.  For example, a 60-watt amplifier runs out of power when called upon to produce more than 60 watts, and the resulting dis-
tortion can damage the speaker.  If you tend to listen at high volume levels, more powerful amplifiers are preferable because they are
less likely to run out of power.

Noticeable distortion or harsh breakup is an indication that either your amplifier or your speakers are running beyond their capacity, and
the volume should be decreased.  Speaker damage most often occurs from sustained high volume levels, not from transient sounds or
brief musical peaks.  Excessive boosting of bass, treble or equalizer controls can worsen the problem, and is not recommended.
