How much DC is considered safe?


If you measure the DC voltage at the amp's speaker output terminals, how much DC is considered safe? I have a pair of monoblocks that I measured a maximum of -32mV on one amp, dropping to about -21mV on the other. Will this small amount of DC cause any harm to the speakers?

Don't take these figures as "gospel" (there are far too many variables out there) but figures around and under 20mV are fairly innocuous, figures from 20 to 50mV should probably be adjusted out and figures above 50mV can often be classed as a fault condition. Hope this helps.
