WARNING! e Impulse®1012 is very ecient and powerful! is sound system can permanently damage hearing! Use extreme care setting the overall maximum loudness!
e apparent sound level of the Impulse®1012 can be deceiving due to its clear, clean sound output. e lack of
distortion or obvious distress can make the sound level seem much lower than it actually is. is system is capable of SPL in excess of 129 dB at 1 M from the speaker!
