Running-in the loudspeakers

 

 

The moving parts of a newly manufactured Model One loudspeaker have been 
acoustically checked after production, but nevertheless are not as flexible as they need 
to be for optimum results to be realized. The higher the quality of any driver system, the 
more demanding the loudspeaker will be regarding time for running-in the system.

 

 

A newly unpacked Model One loudspeaker therefore requires several weeks running/ 
playing to reach its optimum performance capability. After that period, a couple of 
minutes before every listening session will be helpful to “warm up” the loudspeakers.

 

 

Power rating

 

 

Due to the construction and the driver technology The Model One loudspeakers can be 
driven with very high power levels. With a high quality amplifier, delivering undistorted 
signals, the speaker can achieve high levels without any compromises in sound quality. 
Attention must be given to amplifiers with very low power and adjustable tone controls 
or switches. These types may soon overreach their own performance limits and may 
send distorted output signals to the speakers, compromising even high quality techno-
logy. Any damage caused under such circumstances is not covered by the Acelec 
warranty and is easily avoided in the first place by consulting Sonnet Digital Audio for 
advice regarding the choice of amplifier.

 

 

CAUTION

 

DISTORTED OUTPUT SIGNALS

 

 

Distorted output signals from too weak, defective or overloaded amplifiers may

 

  

damage the loudspeakers.

 

 

 

Use high quality amplifiers only and run loudspeakers and amplifiers within

 

 

specified power ratings.
