Owner’s Manual

Power Handling and Listening Levels

Starke Sound recommends reasonable power output settings for the amplifier so it 
operates in a way that will not result in distortion. Even a modest amplifier, if producing 
distortion, can damage speakers. Turn down the volume if you hear a gritty noise or 
other signs of strain. Prolonged or repeated operation of your speakers with a distorted 
signal can cause damage that is not covered by the warranty. It is imperative you do not 
overdrive the bass capability of smaller speakers. Listen for noises, such as pops, 
caused by the music's bass line. Use of the loudness control and/or full bass boost at 
louder volumes may overdrive the woofer. Use such controls sparingly. 

How to Care for your Speakers 

Slightly dampen a soft terry cloth towel with water, glass cleaner, or a diluted, mild 
detergent and then carefully clean the speakers. The towel should be just damp enough 
to remove surface dirt without leaving a trail of moisture. Do not, under any 
circumstances, use abrasive cleaners or any cleaner containing chemicals harsher than 
those found in glass cleaner. 

Limited warranty 

Starke Sound will repair for the original owner any defect in materials or workmanship 
that occurs in normal use of the speaker system, without charge for parts and labor, 
for ten years from the date of purchase.

provide safe and secure transportation to an authorized Starke Sound service 
representative, and to present proof of purchase from an authorized Starke Sound 
dealer in the form of your sales slip when requesting service.

Damage that results from abuse, misuse, accidents, shipping, repairs, or modifications 
by anyone other than an authorized Starke Sound service representative is excluded 
from this warranty. This warranty is void if the serial number has been removed or 
defaced.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that 
vary from state to state.
