Listening Levels and Power-Handling

The power recommendation for the system assumes that you will operate the amplifier in a way

that will not produce distortion. Even our rugged speakers can be damaged by a modest

amplifier if it produces distortion. If you hear a harsh, gritty noise, turn down the volume.

Prolonged or repeated operation of your speaker with a distorted signal from the amplifier can

cause damage that is not covered by the warranty. 

Limited Warranty

For five years from the date of purchase, Boston Acoustics will repair for the original owner any

defect in materials or workmanship that occurs in normal use of the Micro90c, Micro90x or

Micro80x speakers, without charge for parts and labor.

Your responsibilities are to use the system according to the instructions supplied, to provide

safe and secure transportation to an authorized Boston Acoustics service representative and to

present proof of purchase in the form of your sales slip when requesting service.

Excluded from this warranty is damage that results from abuse, misuse, accidents, shipping or

repairs or modifications by anyone other than an authorized Boston Acoustics service represen-

tative. 

This warranty is void if the serial number has been removed or defaced.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from

state to state.

If Service Seems Necessary

First, contact the retailer from whom you purchased the speaker(s). If that is not possible, 

write to:

We will promptly advise you of what action to take. If it is necessary to return your speaker to

the factory, please ship it prepaid. After it has been repaired, we will return it freight prepaid in

the U.S. and Canada.
