HOW TO AVOID SPEAKER DAMAGE
Use an appropriate amplifier.
At high volumes, a very powerful amplifier can overdrive your speakers
and damage them. On the other hand, if your amplifier isn’t powerful enough, it can produce clipping
distortion that can easily damage high-frequency drivers.
(See your Dealer.)
Don’t be fooled by your amplifier’s volume control.
It adjusts listening level – it does not indicate
power output. If your speakers begin to sound harsh or grating, or if you hear the bass breaking up, turn
the volume down immediately or you will damage your speakers!
This type of damage constitutes
abuse and is not covered by the warranty!
Tone controls and equalizers
can demand even more power from an amplifier, lowering the point at
which it produces clipping distortion. Use them sparingly, if at all, and do not use them when listening at
loud levels.
YOUR NEW SPEAKERS
Paradigm
®
Cinema
™
speakers are ideally suited to a variety of lifestyle applications. They are magnetically
shielded (except Cinema
™
ADPs) for use close to a television or computer monitor and their ultra compact
size allows for easy installation throughout your home.
Keyhole slots on the rear of speakers allow them to be mounted on a wall
(hardware not included)
. They
also have holes spaced 60 mm apart in the backs of their enclosures which allow for wall mounting with
brackets
(included on some models)
or with a variety of PARADIGM
®
brackets
(optional extra – see your
Authorized Paradigm
®
Dealer for more information)
.
If wall mounting, take extra care in installation – we always recommend the use of safety straps as
secondary restraints. Your speakers can also be placed on a bookshelf or desk or mounted on optional
PARADIGM
®
speaker stands
(see your Dealer)
.
On Cinema
™
LCR speakers the Paradigm
®
logo is magnetically affixed to the grille allowing it to be
positioned for either a vertical or horizontal configuration.
