USE WITH AMPLIFIERS
– In order to avoid damage to drivers and other equipment, it is advisable to
establish and follow a routine for powering up and powering down a sound system. With all system
components connected, turn on source equipment (mixers, signal processors, record and playback
units, etc.) BEFORE powering up amplifiers. Transient voltages from powering up source equipment
can damage speakers if amplifiers are already turned on. Make sure that amplifier volumes are
set to their minimum settings and power up any system amplifiers LAST. It is recommended that
all system components be allowed to stabilize for several seconds before any source signals are
introduced or level setting adjustments are made. Similarly, when shutting systems down, turn all
amplifiers off first, before powering down any other system components. This also applies to active
or self-powered speakers, Switch them on LAST and off FIRST.
