PREVENTING SPEAKER DAMAGE
(cont'd)
There is a Limit!
Although more powerful amplifiers are safer, there is a point at which
you could have more power than the speaker can handle. At that point
you will overpower the speaker and damage it. Exercise caution! At loud
levels do not increase bass/treble controls from zero and ensure that
all loudness/ contour/bass EQ buttons are off (otherwise rated output
power will be reached at lower volume control settings). If you listen at
loud levels, watch for excessive visible cone excursion (grille movement)
from the woofer—then turn the Volume Control down.
The Right Amount of Power
A power-range rating is given as a guide to indicate the approximate
minimum and maximum power input of your Paradigm speakers. Amplifiers
that exceed your speaker's power-range rating are recommended. Their
greater power reserves provide better sound. However, exercise caution!
Use the speakers within their power-range rating to prevent damage (keep
listening levels below the point of excessive woofer cone excursion).
