section carefully before operating this product.

This product has been designed and manufactured for being operated as active 
speaker system in the applications tipical of a sound reinforcement system or of a

or on a wet surface. Avoid dripping water or water sprays, moreover never place 
objects full of liquid, such as vases, on top of it. Never let any liquid, as well as any 
object, enter the product. In case, immediately disconnect it from the mains supply 
and refer to servicing before operating it again. Never place burning candles or

 This product must be connected only to a grounded mains outlet complying to 

the safety regulations in force via the supplied power cable. In case the power cable 
needs to be substituted, use exclusively a cable of the same type and characteristics.

 This device is connected to the power line even when the mains switch is in 

the O (off) position and the power indicator is off. As long as it is plugged in 
there are potentially dangerous electrical potentials inside the device, so, before 
undertaking any sort of maintenance work etc., always make sure it has been 
unplugged from the mains socket.

walkway where one could trip over it. Never press or pinch it.

 Never install the product without providing adequate airflow to cool it. 

Never obstruct the air intake openings on it. Leave enough room to get to the 
mains power socket and the mains connector on the back panel.

 In case the external fuse needs replacement, substitute it only with one of the 

same type and rating, as stated on the product.

 Always make sure the Power switch is in its ’0’ (= off) position before doing any 

operation on the connections of the product.

 Before attempting to move the product after it has been installed, remove all 

the connections.

 To disconnect the power cable of this product from the mains supply never pull 

the cable directly. Hold the body of the plug firmly and pull it gently from the 
mains supply outlet.
