PORTUGEUSE
SAFE LIMITS OF OPERATION
Polk Audio specifies the recommended amplification range foreach of itspassive
(non-amplified) loudspeakers. Typically thatspecification willbe expressed asa
range of power such as 20-200 Watts (per channel). It isimportant to understand
what those numbers mean when choosing a receiveror amplifierfor your Polk
loudspeakers. The lower number indicates the lowest continuousrated power that
will yield acceptable performance in a typical listeningenvironment. The higher
number indicates the highest per channel power thatshould be usedwith your
Polk speakers. That number should not be confusedwith a“Power Handling”
specification and it does not imply that thespeaker willsafely handle thatfull
amount of power on a long-term basis. We specify a wide range of power ratings
because not all electronics manufacturers use the samemethod for ratingpower.
In fact, high quality lower-rated amplifiers sound better and play louder than low
quality units with higher power rating.
Automobile horsepower is good analogy.Your car probably has far more horsepower
than it needs for your daily commute andis likelycapable of goingwell over120mph
(190km/hr). Having that extra power is good foron-ramp accelerationand danger
avoidance (like getting away from brain-eating zombies) butthat doesn’t mean that
it is advisable to operate your car onNorth Americanhighways at fullpower and
maximum speed for an extended period of time.Just askyour local statetrooper
if you are in doubt. Similarly, we recommend using amplifiers and receivers with
rated power above the Power Handling limits ofour speakersbecause having extra
power available for short term peaks is conduciveto bettersound quality, maximum
dynamic range and effortless high volume output. Butwe stronglyurge you notto
use the full power of your amplifier orreceiver fordaily listening.
Loudspeakers can be damaged when an amplifier, regardless of its wattage, is made
to play at higher listening levels than itspower canclearly produce. Operationat
this level can result in very high levelsof audibledistortion originating inthe amplifier,
which can add a harsh, gritty sound toyour listeningmaterial. If youhear distortion—
turn the volume down or risk damagingyour speakers. You can damage just
about any speaker, regardlessof powerrating, if youdrive anamplifier to orbeyond
the point of distortion.
