10) Caring For Your Outdoor Speakers
The two most common ways that outdoor speakers are permanently damaged:
1) Not enough power at higher volumes.
2) Too much power at higher volumes.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, far more speakers are damaged as a result of under-powering,
than by overpowering. When a receiver runs out of power, it still tries to reproduce the musical
signal by "clipping" the waveform. At high volume levels this clipping introduces extreme amounts
of distortion energy to the speaker, eventually destroying it. If the sound from your speakers starts
to sound distorted, turn down the volume.
Having plenty of reserve power will help your speakers reproduce dynamic contrasts and quick
transients of music much more effectively, but use good judgment; too much power will also perma-
nently damage a speaker. Again, if you hear distortion or audible distress, turn the volume down.
Outdoor speakers are designed to withstand outdoor environments, including incidental exposure
to water. They are not designed to be washed using a pressure washer or hose nozzle. If debris
accumulates on the housing of the speaker, use a damp sponge or cloth to remove it.
