sound takes on the character described above.

When tone controls or equalizers are used to boost frequencies, the problem occurs much more rapidly.  Even

a small boost of low or high frequencies can easily double the power requirement and lead to amplifier clipping at
moderate levels.  Therefore, you should use your tone controls judiciously, avoiding extreme boosts of the bass and
treble controls, especially when you are listening at high volume levels.

The best way to avoid speaker damage is to use common sense.  Use moderate boosts of tone controls or

equalizers, at the very most.  Listen carefully for any harshness and break-up, especially at high volume levels, and
turn down the volume when needed.  If you cannot get enough volume, you may need to consider a higher-powered
amplifier.  If you have any questions about this, please contact M&K, and we will be happy to discuss it with you further.
