The first section of this manual provides useful and important information about your
speakers and how their performance relates to the amplifier used and the chosen room
placement.
The second section explains how to best connect (wire) your new speakers to your
system and provides some troubleshooting hints.
The last page explains our Warranty.
POWER RATINGS
Your new speakers come with specifications which detail their normal operative power
range. As an example, an operative power range of 10-60 Watts approximates the
amplifier power output region within which the speaker will perform optimally. This
does not mean, however, that the speakers cannot be played safely by an amplifier or
receiver whose power output capability is greater than 60 Watts. As long as the system
is used properly much greater power sources can be considered. Speakers can tolerate
brief high power surges called peaks.
NOTE: The above example does not suggest that the SPEAKER ITSELF will produce
60 Watts of power. Speakers don't produce power in the same sense that amplifiers do.
A speaker's power rating only refers to the amount of amplifier power that can be
safely accommodated.
