or damage due to overloading.

This activates if a problem should occur, and 
helps protect both the electronics and the 
loudspeaker drivers. 
The woofer channel has a built in limiter 
that protects the woofer unit from too much 
excursion. It works by reducing the gain of 
the circuit when a certain threshold level is 
reached. 
Positioning
TheDBM50isdesignedasanear-fieldmonitor
for stereo and surround setups. The angled 
front-plate design makes it ideal for placement 
on a desktop. 
If you prefer to place the speakers on stands 
or on the meter bridge of a console* you 
simply place the speaker on the sides. For best 
results the speakers may be aimed towards the 
listener in both vertical and horizontal planes. 
Note: 
Be aware that proper air circulation around the 
monitor for sufficient cooling is necessary. 
* Check that the meter bridge is sufficiently 
sturdy
