General instructions for operation

Canton loudspeakers are suitable for operation with amplifiers pro-
ducing large power output, even if the amplifier power output is
greater than the load ratings specified in the technical data for the
Canton loudspeakers. Infact, loudspeakers are more endangered
by amplifiers with weak output power because the socalled „clip-
ping distortion" they produce when attempting to produce more
sound pressure by turning-up the volume and tone controls boosts
the mean power especially in the tweeters of the speaker boxes and
may destroy the tweeters. therefore please pay attention not to set
volume levels leading to distortion – turn down the volume level di-
rectly when necessary.

Running-in period

to reach its maximum efficiency a loudspeaker needs a running-in
period of approx. 15–20 operation hours. In this time the charac-
teristics of all mechanical parts change until they reach the values
specified during the development of the loudspeaker, i. e. the sus-
pension of the chassis is affected more mobile and the rendition
quality positively.
Caution:
Floorstanding speakers have a high center of gravity and may
become unstable if rocked or improperly positioned. Customer
is responsible to prevent any accident.
