POWER HANDLING

The power handling of a loudspeaker is very much

dependent on the type of music it is called upon

to  reproduce  at  any  given  time.  Since  a  music

signal or film soundtrack simultaneously consists

of a broad range of frequencies, it is not possible

to define maximum power handling in meaningful

terms.

In  the  real  world,  large  amounts  of  clean,

undistorted power from a big amp is better than

the distorted output of a small amp pushed beyond

its limits. More speakers are damaged by small

amps working too hard, than by big amps coasting

along.

Turning tone controls up beyond their neutral cen-

tre  position  greatly  increases  power  demands.

Tone controls are intended for occasional use to

improve older recordings or bad recordings. We

strongly advise against using them to compensate

permanently  for  weaknesses  elsewhere  in  the

audio  system.  Experimenting  with  loudspeaker

placement may be all it takes to achieve a much

more musical result.

Under normal conditions, overloading is heard as

distortion  (clipping)  and  a  loss  of  clarity.  If  you

always keep the level below this point, there will

be nothing to worry about.

SURROUND SOUND

Adjusting surround levels

Follow the instructions included with your surround amplifier, match power levels so that

all speakers sound equally loud at the listening position. An accurate Sound Pressure

Level metre will make system calibration easier and more precise.
