levels. You should exercise caution when operating these amplifier

systems. Long term exposures to high levels of sound pressure will cause
permanent damage to your hearing. Sound pressure levels exceeding 85dB can be
dangerous with constant exposure. Set your audio system to a comfortable loudness
level. Earthquake Sound Corporation does not assume liability for damages resulting
from the direct use of Earthquake amplifiers or other Earthquake products , and urges
users to play their music at moderate listening levels.
