The SA Sub 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
