Failure Threat Matrix[1,2]
| Failure Mode | Likelihood | Est. Onset | Mitigation Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power supply or amplifier failure | Low | Random | Use surge protectors and utilize the built-in Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) circuitry to automatically reduce power consumption when idle. |
| Driver damage (Woofer/Tweeter blowout) | Very Low | Random | Built-in protection circuitry prevents driver damage from extreme audio signal spikes. Avoid direct physical impact to the metal grilles. |
