I. UNPACKING
Elipson keeps to a strict quality control regimen and all factory-sealed products leave
our facility in perfect condition. If there are any damages visible or concealed they
have occurred in handling and must be reported immediately to your Elipson authorized
dealer.
Carefully remove the speaker(s) from the box(es), take caution as the size often deceives
the actual weight. Save all custom cartons and packaging foam for future use. They are
rather expensive and may come in handy for future upgrades.
WARNING / IMPORTANT TECHNICAL NOTE
Please read before operating speakers. The warranty on speakers is void
if the voice coils are burned or damaged as a result of overpowering or
clipping.
OVERPOWERING : The volume control of most amplifiers and receivers is
a logarithmic type, which means that full rated power may be reached
with the volume control as little as the halfway point. In addition, operating
the loudness feature or boosting the treble or bass controls increases power
output well beyond rated levels. AS A RESULT OF THE ABOVE FACTORS, A 30-
WATT AMPLIFIER CAN PRODUCE DISTORTED OUTPUT LEVELS OF OVER 100 WATT
AND MAY DAMAGE YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS.
CLIPPING : Clipping refers to the power level at which an amplifier begins
to distort a waveform by flattening its top and bottom into a square wave-
shape. When fed to tweeters and/or midrange speakers, this may result in
exceeding their maximum power handling capacity, causing damage to
the speaker voice coil. CLIPPING CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY FUZZ OR DISTORTED
SOUND. IF THIS IS HEARD, LOWER THE VOLUME IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID
DAMAGE TO YOUR SYSTEM. CONTINUOUS CLIPPING WILL DAMAGE OR BURN
OUT THE SPEAKERS.
