Power Handling - Arcam Muso Manual De Instrucciones

Care of your speakers
Running-in
In the same way as a new car requires a 'running-in' period, so do all loudspeakers. Your
Muso speaker may sound good when you first connect it, but with time it will improve
dramatically Expect about 50 hours use before the full potential of your Muso is realised.

Power handling

Arcam speakers are designed to reproduce recorded music under normal domestic
conditions. We do not recommend nor warrant them for commercial applications, such as
discothèques, public address, etc.
Bearing this in mind, these speakers will perform well and safely with hi-fi amplifiers rated
between 20 and 100 watts per channel. Care must be taken, however, to avoid amplifier
overload or 'clipping' . Apart from possible damage to the amplifier, this can (and does)
damage loudspeakers. In this respect, an overdriven low-powered amplifier is more likely
to cause damage than a properly used high-powered one.
Speaker stands/wall brackets
The more firmly a speaker is held, the better it will sound.
This is best achieved by using sturdy, metal, speaker stands or wall brackets. In the
case of stands, properly damped types that do not 'ring' when tapped with a pencil are
recommended. It is helpful to have stands with adjustable spikes or spacers to eliminate
rocking movements in the speakers. Suitable speaker stands or wall brackets are available
from your Arcam dealer.
Cleaning
To clean your speakers use a soft, slightly dampened cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt. Do
not use solvent-based or chemical cleaning products as these may damage the finish of
the speaker cabinet.
