OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE

IMPORTANT WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
. Read these instructions
2. Follow all instructions
3. Keep these instructions
4. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
5. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
6. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarised or grounding plug. A polarised plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does
not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
7. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at the plugs, convenience
receptacles, and at the point where they exit from the apparatus.
8. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
9. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart or rack is used, use caution when moving the cart and apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
0. Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
. USE WITH AMPLIFIERS – In order to avoid damage to drivers and other equipment, it is
advisable to establish and follow a routine for powering up and powering down a sound system.
With all system components connected, turn on source equipment (mixers, signal processors,
record and playback units, etc.) BEFORE powering up amplifiers. Transient voltages from
powering up source equipment can damage speakers if amplifiers are already turned on.
Make sure that amplifier volumes are set to their minimum settings and power up any system
amplifiers LAST. It is recommended that all system components be allowed to stabilize for
several seconds before any source signals are introduced or level setting adjustments are
made. Similarly, when shutting systems down, turn all amplifiers off first, before powering down
any other system components.
12. CABLES – Do not use shielded or microphone cables for connection between amplifiers and
speakers. Use only approved speaker cables with proper connectors.
3. CAUTION – These professional loudspeaker systems are capable of generating very high
sound pressure levels. Use care with placement and operation to avoid exposure to excessive
volume levels. Permanent hearing damage can result when operated to extreme levels.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way including but not limited to power supply cord or plug damage, liquid
ingress, foreign objects in the chassis, exposure to rain/moisture or impact damage. In addition
the unit must be serviced when you experience any abnormal operation.
