[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 147680, member: 30"] Re: Speaker protection Even if set to half of continuous-loudspeakers can still be blown. I have had it happen. It depends on how hard they drive the system. IF they just keep turning up and up and keep on compressing the signal, the average level will get higher and higher. And the speakers get hotter and hotter. . Half power is a good idea for reasonable operators. For others-maybe 1/4 power is a better idea. I know it sounds stupid but is the reality. There are plenty of people who just keep turning it up and up-ESPECIALLY if the gear belongs to somebody else. [/QUOTE]
