as long as your subwoofer sounds good. Once you reach its limit, it will start to sound a little
fuzzy or ill defined. If you go past that level, you will hear a very distinct popping or snapping
sound coming from the subwoofer. Just back down on the volume level until your subwoofer
sounds clean and clear again.
If you are going to have a party at your house, do
NOT
use your
kroll
loudspeakers to
play the music at any volume level above light background music (the level you hear in an
elevator or a restaurant). We recommend you rent PA equipment and/or a DJ instead.
This is no laughing matter! Most good audio equipment used at parties ends up damaged or
totaled. Folk that have had too much to drink often spill on the equipment or trip over it. Or
much more commonly (over 90% of the time) the following happens. Ask
any
stereo
salesman who has been in the industry for even just a few years. They will have their share of
stories of movie/music lovers that all sound
exactly
like this:
"I don't know what happened.
Last night they sounded great. But this morning the tweeters don't work and the woofers
sound scratchy."
What really happened is always the same. As their hearing was
progressively dulled (in clarity and loudness perception) by the booze, they kept turning their
stereo up until they were clipping the amp and the highs got really distorted. To their alcohol-
dulled ears those "extra highs" sounded good. But they were damaging the drivers &
crossovers. They either couldn't hear the distortion, didn't care or both. Sorry good
movie/music lovers. That is abuse, not defects in manufacturing.
LEGAL STUFF
WARNING! -
Listening to your
kroll
loudspeakers with your ear pressed up to (or
within 18” of) any of the drivers for a prolonged period of time can cause hearing damage. If
you listen at least 3’ away there is no cause for concern.
WARNING!
- Receivers, integrated amps and power amps have parts that fail. When they
do, they emit high amounts of distortion and/or DC. This can damage or destroy the amplifier,
crossover and subwoofer. This is abuse from the amplifier and this kind of damage is NOT
covered under the
kroll
warranty.
