Commercial Applications - Definitive Technology AW5500 Owner's Manual

Power and Loud Listening Levels
It takes more speakers and more amplifier power to achieve a given
amount of sound outdoors than it takes indoors. Keep this in mind when
designing and listening to your outdoor system. Be careful how loud you
turn up your outdoor system. We recommend leaving the bass and treble
controls on your amplifier or receiver at their ''Oat'' (0 dB) positions.
Audible distortion when the speakers are playing at loud levels is caused
by driving (turning up) your receiver or amplifier louder than it or the
speakers are capable of playing. Most receivers and amplifiers put out their
full-rated power well before the volume control is turned all the way up,
so the position of the volume control is a poor indicator of its power limit.
;If your speakers distort when you play them loud, turn the volume down!
Commercial Applications
AW Series speakers are perfect for restaurant, bar and other retail commercial
applications indoors and out. Their grilles and enclosures can be readily cleaned
of dust, smoke and oily films with soap and water while their robust construction
ensures years of reliable operation. Definitive AW series speakers have broader
dispersion and better bass than conventional commercial speakers so you will need
fewer of them to cover an area with great sound. Your customers will appreciate
that you have made an extra effort to treat them with high quality music in your
place of business while your competitors
to~e
their customers with harsh noise.
Definitive Technology - the competitive edge!
Care
Periodically wash your AW speakers with a mild soap and water solution to
remove dirt and pollutants.
