HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR VALUABLE SPEAKERS

All MAGNAT loudspeakers are designed and built for optimum sound reproduction with

the tone controls in the central position – i.e. with “linear” amplifier output. Turning up the

bass and treble controls too far delivers more power to the woofers and/or tweeters, and

at high volumes this can actually destroy the speaker units!

If the output of your amplifier is significantly higher than the rated power handling capacity

of your speakers extremely high volumes can physically destroy your speakers. This

doesn’t actually happen often but you should be aware that it is possible.

Weak amplifiers with low output ratings can actually be more dangerous for your

speakers at medium volumes because weak amplifiers may overload much faster than

powerful ones and this causes measurable and audible distortion, which is extremely

dangerous to your loudspeakers.
