User's Manual K&F GRAVIS 12+ GRAVIS 12+ speakers may only be used in combination with a K&F SystemAmp/SystemRack. In general, audio signals must not be overdriven. This may be caused by mixing consoles, equalizers, effect equipment, etc. and should be indicated on this equipment. When a power amplifier is overloaded at the output (clipping), then the amplifier activates a clipping warning signal.
