MAXIMUM VOLUME
All speakers have to be broken in prior to intensive use. Operate only at 50 % load for the
first 30–50 hours of operation!
At higher volume settings – in some cases – distorted, bad sound quality may be
experienced. This may be caused by an overly high input signal level. To avoid this please
decrease the input signal strength of the affected channel when the
CLIP
indicator LED for
the channel flashes, or the main volume if necessary (
MASTER
). The maximum volume of
the system is one that may be reproduced with good quality without distortion.
• When turning the volume up beyond this point, output power will not increase, while the
distortion level will grow! This is very harmful to the speakers and may lead to faults!
• Increase the volume only up to the level, till you cannot hear distortion! Sound quality may
be affected by the compressing program of MP3 tracks and tone adjustment of mobile
device!
• If you connect a microphone, place it as far from the speaker box as you can, to avoid
feedback! The speaker box should not be aimed toward the microphone, as feedback is
harmful to the speakers! When using a microphone, increase the volume carefully, and
immediately rotate it off when you experience feedback, and reposition the speaker box, if
needed!
