A final note
…….. The human ear is a remarkable organ with the ability to compress or ‘shut down’ when
sound levels become too high. Do not interpret this natural response as a reason to turn the system volume up
further! As the session wears on ear fatigue may set in, and the speaker cones may become
Hot so reducing the effectiveness of the system and listeners to gain nay benefit from increased volume.
