CARE OF YOUR SPEAKER CABINETS
Under normal playing situations, your speaker cabinet will need very little in the way
of care, but here are a few general suggestions that should keep your speakers
operating in peak condition.
POWERING YOUR AMPLIFIER ON AND OFF - To help protect your speaker
cabinets against possible damage, make it a habit to always turn the MASTER
VOLUME on your amplifier to its minimum position before powering the amplifier on
or off. The same rule applies when connecting, or disconnecting your instrument.
BREAKING IN YOUR SPEAKER CABINET - While this is often a subject of some
debate amongst bass players, experience with our drivers tells us that these drivers
definitely go through a breaking in period, where the driverʼs cloth surround will
“loosen up” during the first hours of use.To protect your drivers from damage and
help your speaker cabinet to eventually sound its best, we recommend that you do
not exceed moderate levels of volume for at least 4 to 6 hours of continuous use. At
this point, your driverʼs surround will have become more flexible and you will usually
notice an increase in the low end response of your cabinet.
SPEAKER RULE #1 - Donʼt ask more from your speakers than they are capable of
delivering. If you hear your speakers distorting, turn down the volume!
CLEANING YOUR SPEAKER CABINET - Under normal use, your speaker cabinet
will not require any special care. Should you accidentally spill something on the
cabinet, immediately wipe the spill with a clean, slightly damp towel. Do not use
harsh chemical cleaning solvents on your cabinetʼs covering.
SPEAKER COVERS - We recommend the use of a good quality speaker cover to
protect your cabinet from damage during transport. Speaker covers also help keep
dirt and dust out of your drivers when not in use and will help keep your cabinet
looking like new for many years.
