Polk Audio DB461 4-by-6-Inch Coaxial Speakers

Getting Started

Please inspect your loudspeakers carefully. Notify your Polk Audio dealer if you notice any damage or missing items.
Keep the carton and packing material; this will do the best job of protecting your loudspeakers if they must be transported.

Safe Limits of Operation

Damage to loudspeakers can occur when an amplifier, regardless of its wattage, is made to play at higher listening levels than it can produce at low distortion levels. This is usually beyond the “noon or 1 o’clock” position on the volume control. Operation at this level can result in very high levels of audible distortion originating in the amplifier, which can add a harsh,  gritty sound to your listening material. Contrary to popular belief, a loudspeaker is more likely to be damaged by trying to gettoo much volume from a low-powered amplifier or receiver than from a high-powered one.

Technical Assistance or Service

If, after following the hookup directions, you experience difficulty, please double-check all wire connections. Should you isolate the problem to the loudspeaker, contact the authorized Polk Audio dealer where you made your purchase, or contact Polk Audio Customer Service at 800-377-7655 (M-F, 9-6 EST, US only) or via email at [email protected]. Outside the US,call 410-358-3600.
