technical specifications indicated in the dedicated section of the manual.
1.9. Accessories — Install and use this EAW Commercial product only with the accessories specified
by the manufacturer or supplied with the product.
1.10. Hearing Loss — Exposure to high sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. The sound
pressure level which leads to hearing loss varies considerably from one person to another, and depends
on the duration of exposure. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) has established the maximum sound pressure levels that can be with stood without causing
damage, which are shown in the table below. According to the OSHA regulations, any exposure over
the maximum limits indicated in the table can reduce the hearing capacity of a person. To prevent
potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, anyone subjected to such levels must
use suitable protection. When a EAW Commercial product capable of producing high sound levels is
being used, it is therefore necessary to wear ear plugs or protective earphones when the limits shown
in the table are exceeded.
Consult the specifications provided in the instruction manual to know the maximum sound pressure
(SPL) the speaker is capable of producing.
