Using Multiple Subwoofers; To Avoid Subwoofer Damage; Listening Outdoors - Martin Logan OUTDOOR LIVING Serie Mode D'emploi

USING MULTIPLE SUBWOOFERS

The Crown CDi 1000 amplifier is capable of powering up
to three SUB subwoofers connected in parallel to a single
amp channel . To expand from one subwoofer to two or three
subwoofers, just run additional speaker cable from the first
subwoofer to the second subwoofer and from the second
subwooer to the third subwoofer .

TO AVOID SUBWOOFER DAMAGE

Don't be fooled by your amplifier's volume
control. It adjusts listening level—it does not indicate
power output . If your subwoofer(s) begin to sound harsh
or grating, or if you hear the bass breaking up, turn the
volume down immediately or you will damage your
subwoofer(s)! This type of damage constitutes abuse and is
not covered by the warranty!

LISTENING OUTDOORS

Outdoors there are no walls to contain sound . Background
noise is louder and the distance listeners are from the
subwoofer(s) is usually greater . Achieving a reasonable
listening level can be more difficult . The tendency is to turn
up the volume, however this may disturb neighbors and when
turned up too high, can seriously damage the subwoofer(s) or
your amplifier .
Tone controls and equalizers can demand even more power
from an amplifier, lowering the point at which it produces
clipping distortion . Use them sparingly, if at all, and do not
use them when listening at loud levels .
The solution? In larger areas we recommend using multiple
MartinLogan Outdoor Living Series subwoofers . Demand on
the amplifier is reduced . Think of it this way: When lighting
a large outdoor area, using multiple floodlights on a dimmer
set to a low setting is far more effective than using a single
floodlight with the dimmer set to high .
