However, a speaker’s upper frequency power response changes with distance, due to room influences and air absorption. The A-10 may be adjusted for flat response at two listening distances. The maximum high frequency output is obtained with the control in the “FF” (far-field) position. In the near-field, the control attenuates 20 kHz by 2.5 dB, with no effect on frequencies below 3 kHz. -

SYSTEM OPERATION: The A-10 is capable of very high output levels, especially when listening in the near-field. Still, every speaker system has its limits. Protect your ears and use common sense. Harsh breakup at extremely high volume, or heat emanating from the drivers is an indication that the system has exceeded its output limits and you should lower the playback level. -
