OPERATING NOTES OUTPUT POWER vs. SPEAKER SAFETY The Cinepro 4K6 MK-4 SE-Gold was designed to create peak sound pressure levels mimicking real life. This is important for the realistic reproduction of cinematic events. An on-screen gunshot or train wreck can create short-term power bursts of over 1000 watts! The Cinepro 4K6 MK-4 SE-Gold can faithfully reproduce these transients without strain.
BI- AND TRI-AMPLIFYING WITH THE 4K6 MK-4 SE-GOLD Most quality loudspeakers have two or more sets of input binding posts for connection to the amplifier. These separate the signals that are going to the woofer(s) from the signals going to the tweeter (and sometimes a third set of speaker wires isolates the signals going to the midrange). Normally, there are gold or tin plated metal shorting straps connecting the single speaker wire to both the low and high range drivers on each speaker.
