MANUFACTURER’S GUIDELINES The speakers and electronics in the Synapse have been tested under relentless and grueling conditions beyond the recommended use of the system. This was done in order to ensure that the Synapse will withstand the everyday use and abuse of a roadworthy product. However, as with all loudspeakers, some care is required: 1) Do not play in direct sunlight on very hot days for extended periods of time or the speakers and/or power amp can overheat and be damaged.
