RUNNING-IN THE LOUDSPEAKERS
The moving parts of a newly manufactured
Confidence loudspeaker have been acoustically
checked after production, but nevertheless are
not as flexible as they need to be for optimum
results to be realized.
The higher the quality of any driver system,
the more demanding the loudspeaker will be
regarding time for running-in the system.
A newly unpacked Dynaudio loudspeaker
therefore requires several weeks running/
playing to reach its optimum performance
capability. After that period, a couple of
minutes before every listening session will be
helpful to ‘warm up’ the loudspeakers.
POWER RATING
Due to the construction and the driver
technology the Confidence loudspeakers can
be driven with very high power levels. With a
high quality amplifier, delivering undistorted
signals, the speaker can achieve high volumes
without any compromises in sound quality.
Also, as the Confidence models have a
relatively high sensitivity, even high quality
amps with a low power rating can drive the
loudspeaker to yield excellent results.
Attention must be given to amplifiers with
very low power and adjustable tone
controls or switches. These types may
soon overreach their own performance
limits and may send distorted output
signals to the speakers, compromising even
high quality technology. Any damage caused
under such circumstances is not covered by
the Dynaudio warranty and is easily avoided
in the first place by consulting your Dynaudio
dealer for advice regarding the choice of
amplifier.
