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.
