TO AVOID SPEAKER DAMAGE

Don't be fooled by your amplifier's volume control . It
adjusts listening level—it does not indicate power output .
If your speakers begin to sound harsh or grating, or if
you hear the bass breaking up, turn the volume down
immediately or you will damage your speakers! 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
speaker(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
speakers or your amplifier .

OFF SEASON SPEAKER COVER

During the off season, when your speakers are not in
use for prolonged periods, you can cover your speakers
from the elements using the cover included . This cover
is breathable, while protecting your speaker for harsh,
inclement weather .
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 Paradigm Garden Oasis speakers . Using more
speakers ensures that sound is evenly distributed,
allowing for reasonable listening levels at lower volumes .
Demand on the amplifier is reduced and neighbors are
not disturbed . 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 .
