Abstract
An overload circuit for a loudspeaker system which indicates the overload and also automatically reduces the load on the speaker system to prevent damage in which a rectifier followed by a smoothing circuit is connected in parallel with the speaker and supplies an output to a magnetic coil for energizing a magnetic switch on overload so as to place a load dropping means in series with the speaker during overload. The load dropping means might be a lamp which visually indicates the overload condition.
