How about those electric fences for dogs? I’m kidding!
Child Damage Mitigation
Last week the wife and I brought a new baby home - our first - and it's been fun introducing her to the music we love. It dawned on me this morning that this child will be crawling before I know it and my lovely pair of Magnepan 3.7's might be sitting ducks. They're less agile than the cat, closer to the ground than the house plants, and more fragile than the couch. As I've calculated I've got approximately 6 months to find a way to prevent any child-induced damage so your input is greatly appreciated. What can I learn from the grand wisdom of AG about how to keep the kid away from the speakers?

jon_5912 "I've had them crank it up to 11, panic, and run." Me too, unforgettable experience. Amp survived, speakers survived, but I almost didn't. I love my Creek Destiny 1 amp but next time I'm getting something with a heavier volume dial and maybe overload protection. All 100 watts through my speakers at once is not something I want to experience again! |
I fenced off all of my equipment with something like this. It kept my daughter away but anything that prevents them from getting to something makes them want to touch it more. My daughter is 20 mos and if there is anything in a room that I don't want her to touch, she will walk straight too it, pick it up, lick it and or put it in her mouth. https://www.costway.com/baby-playpen-kids-8-panel-safety-play-center-yard.html?fee=51&fep=12233&gclid=CjwKCAjwhOD0BRAQEiwAK7JHmFPXVgUh82HMi-XglVhLVTWJhhsP8HQuO5pIUWBZy5Xau_kTv2e5dxoCS5kQAvD_BwE |
