User manual PYLE PSS1542

[. . . ] Introduction Thank you for purchasing this Pyle Pro PSS series speaker. The loudspeaker is designed to provide you years of high performance in any application that you require. Please read this manual carefully to fully maximize the performance of the speaker. Maintenance and Safety · Do not expose the speaker to moisture. [. . . ] Make certain that the wires you are using are at least 12 gauge unshielded speaker cable (the lower the number, the thicker the wire). Hooking speakers up in parallel decreases the overall impedance, placing a greater load on the amplifier. Check your amplifier's specifications to ensure that you are not overloading the channel. CAUTION: DO NOT US E MORE THAN ONE JACK AS AN AMPLIFIER INPUT. DOING S O WILL DAMAGE THE S PEAKER! Amplifier Requirements Check the product specifications (page 5) to see the power handling for your model. There are a couple of considerations to keep in mind when choosing an amplifier to drive your PSS series speaker. While it is true that an amplifier with a higher power rating can damage the drivers, under3 powering can be even more dangerous. When an amplifier is overdriven and starts distorting, it generates transient frequencies that are much louder than the program material. A proper match is an amplifier which could drive the speaker up to the cabinet's RMS rating, without exceeding the amplifier's own RMS level. Operation When powering on your equipment, make sure the volume level on the amplifier is turned all the way down. This is to avoid the "popping" noise, which could damage your speaker. Besides for the practical considerations, there are acoustic issues as well. Avoid placing the speaker in a corner, as this will cause the low frequencies to sound "muddy". Similarly, but to a lesser degree, placing the speaker directly against the wall will exaggerate the low frequencies. You should therefore try to place your speaker so that it is a few feet away from the wall. High frequencies are unidirectional while low frequencies are omni directional.
