Safety Precautions
At AV123, we don’t want to see any of our
customers experience the inconvenience
or unfortunate mishap of a precaution that
was ignored. Please review the following
precautions so you may enjoy your AV123 x-
series speakers without unnecessary damage
or misuse.
1) If you suspect you have a component failure in
your speakers at any time, please call AV123 for help. Our experts can assist you in diagnosis and, if
necessary, provide you with field repair parts where applicable. Our goal is your complete satisfaction.
2) Do not lift these speakers if you feel strain or they are just plain too heavy for you. The weight of each
AV123 x-series speaker is listed in the Technical Specifications section of this manual for your reference.
3) When lifting these speakers, do so with caution. If you need to use a cart or hand truck to move them
around to their final destination, please do so with care and caution. Odd shaped boxes may require a 2
person lift even if the weight of the box does not seem prohibitive.
4) Do not install these speakers near water (or expose them to water) or any other liquids. If you have a
place in the basement that floods or a leaky roof in certain spots, do not install your AV123 x-speakers
(or any other home entertainment equipment) in that location. Use good judgement, but if you are not
sure if your chosen location is acceptable, chances are you should call us. It never hurts to ask.
5) Do not poke, prod, or “heavily pet” these speakers. Do not set drinks on them (or it’s just about
guaranteed the drinks will leave a ring and spill too). Do not use the speakers as tables or chairs.
Whenever possible, ask the kids and pets to play elsewhere than on (or directly in front of) the
speakers. All of these suggestions come from many years of experience by our AV123 experts so you
can trust the origin.
6) Do not install these speakers near a heat source such as a floor heater, space heater, fireplace, stove,
heat register, active volcano, or any other device (including amplifiers) that may radiate heat.
7) Plug the electrical power cord included with the AV123 x-sub/x-pls Subwoofer into a line conditioner or
connect to an unswitched 110VAC wall outlet directly. Do not connect the x-sub/x-pls power cord into
a “power strip”. This ensures the best performance of the subwoofer and avoids power delivery related
problems.
8) Do not plug the AV123 x-series Monitor or Tower speakers into the wall, EVER. Some people think it’s a
great way to test the excursion limits of a low frequency driver but in truth it’s a very dangerous way to
send the cone flying out of the cabinet with excessive heat. Just hook them to the amplifier outputs as
recommended in this manual please. The exception is the x-pls Tower which contains a powered sub.
9) These speakers in a home entertainment environment can easily produce high sound pressure levels
that can impair hearing if you (or other listeners) undergo extended exposure. Use caution when
listening at high volumes and, by all means, please discontinue use if your ears are ringing. If you must
play these speakers at extremely high volumes, we recommend the use of OSHA approved hearing
protection.
10) Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Keep this manual for future reference.
