during shipping. Save all this stuff in case you need to re-ship the Loudbox Mini.

Hear This!

The Loudbox Mini amplifier is capable of cleanly reproducing the sound of your
instrument at very high volume levels. Prolonged repeated exposure to high
sound pressure levels (SPLs) without protection can cause permanent hearing
loss. OSHA has set guidelines and specified permissible sound-exposure limits
for those who work in high SPL environments.

Permissible Noise Exposures

Duration per day, hours Sound level dBA slow response

8 90
6 92
4 95
3 97
2 100
1 1/2 102
1 105
1/2 110
1/4 or less 115

To ensure against permanent hearing loss, wear hearing protection when you perform with
amplification.

NOTE: Operate the amplifi er only at the voltage as indicated
on the rear panel. Do not defeat the ground prong on the
AC cable; the safe operation of this amplifi er depends on a
proper ground connection.
