Break-in period
Like many high performance automo-
biles, the Cinema Ribbon CRM-BIP
dipole loudspeakers perform at their best
after an initial break-in period. A minimum
of 0 hours is recommended prior to
performing critical listening, however the
speakers will sound their best after a
period of 300 to 400 hours. During this
time, the driver suspensions and ribbon
structure will relax into their operat-
ing design positions and give optimum
performance.
To facilitate break-in during the initial
0 hours, it is recommended that you
play material with a wide dynamic range
at louder volumes – such as your favorite
rock and roll album (that is if your family
or neighbors can stand it).
It is important that your amplifier
supplies good clean power, and
not run into distortion. Amplifier
distortion due to clipping causes
high-frequency output components that
can damage loudspeakers. Even a 100
watt amplifier running into clipping can
damage loudspeakers rated at 400 watts
or more.
