Ribbon Alert and Clip Protection
Ribbon Tweeter Alert:
Before using the monitors make sure to remove the protective film covering the ribbon
tweeter. This ribbon is made from pure aluminum and is protected by a metal mesh and
special wind blast fabric.
Make sure to keep any blasts of air away from the ribbon (window breeze, fans,
outdoors) and be sure to NEVER BLOW INTO THE RIBBON!!!
If you are planning to transport the RTM10 outdoors we recommend covering the
ribbons with a piece of tape.
Clip Protection:
The RTM10 has a clip protection limiter. This will protect the speakers from any
transients that could potentially cause damage to the drivers at loud listening levels. The
LED logo will start blinking red when the limiter is engaged.
Warning: High SPL levels can cause permanent damage to your hearing. We highly
advise turning down the volume if you ever reach the limiter.
Thermal Protection:
The RTM10 also has thermal protection. If the amplifier is reaching its maximum
temperature, the output is lowered by 6dB. Additionally, the protect indication starts
blinking once every second. If the maximum temperature is reached, the amplifier is
switched off to protect it from damage. Additionally, the protect indication starts blinking
twice every second. When the amplifier has cooled down to a safe operating
temperature, the thermal protection resets and the RTM10 resumes to normal
operation.
