▶ Insure all components are properly installed and wired correctly.
▶ Observe the technical specifications.
▶ Always use high-quality cabling and amplification.
CAUTION
HIGH SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS
Listening to high sound pressure levels over a prolonged period of time may harm your hearing.
▶ To avoid auditory effects do not listen to high sound levels over a long period of time.
