USE AN APPROPRIATE AMPLIFIER.
At high volumes a very powerful amplifi er can overdrive your
speakers and damage them. And if the amplifi er is not powerful enough, it can produce distortion
that can easily damage your speaker. (Consult your dealer for assistance.)
DON’T BE FOOLED BY YOUR RECEIVER’S VOLUME CONTROL.
It only adjusts how loud, it is not an
indication of power output. If your speakers begin to sound harsh or grating or if you hear other forms
of distortion, turn down the volume immediately!
PROPER SETUP IS THE KEY.
Please Note: Your SuperSat speakers are designed to be used with a
subwoofer and with a high-pass crossover (“SMALL” setting on an A/V receiver). Also, avoid use
of tone controls and loudness controls as they will demand even more power from an amplifi er.
