Amplifier
power
and speaker
power
handling
Every Dynaudio speaker has a power-rating specification, and
we
always suggest using this
for
guidance on maximum
amplifier power. As a rough guide
we
suggest a minimum amplifier
power
of
around
20%
of
a speaker's
power
rating
per
channel
to
ensure the amp can drive hard without producing potentially speaker-damaging distortion. Your
Dynaudio retailer wi
ll
always
be
able
to
offer advice on suitable amplifiers
for
your speakers.
The golden rule is
to
reduce the volume if ever
the
sound becomes distorted. Distortion is a sure sign
that
damage
to
either
sp
eakers
or
amplifier is likely.
Speaker
gri
ll
es
Many Dynaudio speakers have removable front grilles. Their use is really a
matter
of
personal preference.
but
there are
a
few
factors
to
consider. First, drive-unit diaphragms, especially tweeters, are
de
li
cate and can easily
be
damaged
by
inquisitive fingers. If you have young children, grilles are probably best left fitted. Second, even though grilles are
designed
to
have a minimal influence on performance, the sound quality
of
your speakers may be marginally improved
without them. We suggest removing
the
grilles
for
serious listening and replacing them at other times.
Some Dynau
dio
speaker grilles are attached magnetically while others are use plastic plugs and corresponding
sockets. In either case, grilles are removed simply by gently pulling them away from the cabinet front panel.
Gr
ille
replacement is the reverse procedure.
