3. 사용 설명서
3.1 초기 전원 켜기
After installation, perform a low-volume test to confirm proper functionality.
- Turn on your audio system with the volume set to minimum.
- Gradually increase the volume to a low listening level.
- Listen for clear, undistorted sound from the PRO-DR2 driver.
3.2 게인 및 레벨 조정
적절한 이득taging is crucial to prevent distortion and maximize sound quality.
- 설정하다 amplifier gain for the driver channel according to the amplifier's instructions, typically by playing a test tone and adjusting until the clipping indicator just begins to flash, then backing off slightly.
- Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can lead to clipping and damage to the driver.
3.3 Avoiding Distortion
Distortion is a primary cause of driver failure. Always operate your system within its clean power limits.
- If you hear any harsh, crackling, or fuzzy sounds, immediately reduce the volume.
- 귀하의 것을 확인하십시오 amplifier is not clipping.
- Verify that your crossover settings are correct and protecting the driver from low frequencies.
