Indicators PEAK The PEAK LED (Light Emitting Diode) illuminates to indicate that the system is approaching clipping. The threshold for this light is actually about 2 dB below clipping. An occasional flickering of this light on the loudest peaks is acceptable. If this LED is on for more than the duration of brief dynamic peaks, the system is being overdriven. Continuously over-driving the system will result in unpleasant and fatiguing distortion and may lead to premature failure of your speake

The ground wire acts only as a shield and does not carry any audio signal current. Outside interference (such as RFI - Radio Frequenc

Loudspeaker Placement and Mounting The following guidelines will help you achieve optimum sound wherever you use your EON loudspeakers: Raise the speakers as high as possible.
