Hello,

It will be safe, as long as you don't exceed the 100W power rating.

However, 50% at the master volume does not mean you output 50% of the power. The actual output power depends on many things, including the settings of the preamp, and is not linear with repsect to the master volume setting.

You will have to avoid turning your master volume too high, but where exactly "too high" is is tricky. The best way is to :

1) Use common sense. Basically, if you use a setting that you would use on a regular speaker cabinet, you're probably fine.

2) Start low and monitor everything. If the fan is still turning low, you're fine. If the fan is turning very fast, you may be overloading the Live.

3) In any case, the thermal security of the Torpedo Live will warn you and protect your amp, so don't worry too much.

Cordialement/Sincerely,
