Operating determinations 

This audio system is a passive or active system which can be used for permanent installations or for mobile use. 
This product is only allowed to be connected with appropriate power amplifier and sources. It was designed for indoor use only if not used 
with the covers. The covers can help in using the system in extreme conditions but in that case, user must be careful to the good installation of 
the cover of the cabinet. 
 
The maximum power of the speaker system must never be exceeded. When operating the speaker system, please make sure that the 
loudspeakers always sound well. When distortions can be heard, the amplifier or the loudspeaker is overloaded, or signal is very poor quality. 
Overloads can quickly lead to amplifier, speaker or hears damage.  
 
In order to avoid damage, please reduce the volume immediately when distortions can be heard. When speaker systems are destroyed by 
overload, the guarantee becomes void. 
 
By operating speaker systems with an amplifier, you can produce excessive sound pressure levels that may lead to permanent hearing loss. 
Please refer to the explanations under "Legal instructions".
