The IRX115s covered by this manual is not intended for use in high moisture environments. Moisture can damage the 
speaker cone and surround and cause corrosion of electrical contacts and metal parts. Avoid exposing the speakers to 
direct moisture.
Keep speakers out of extended or intense direct sunlight. The driver suspension will prematurely dry out and finished 
surfaces may be degraded by long-term exposure to intense ultra-violet (UV) light. The IRX115s can generate 
considerable energy. When placed on a slippery surface such as polished wood or linoleum, the speaker may move due 
to its acoustical energy output. Precautions should be taken to assure that the speaker does not fall off a stage or table 
on which it is placed. 

HEARING DAMAGE, PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE SPL

The IRX115s is capable of generating sound pressure levels (SPL) sufficient to cause permanent hearing damage to performers, production 
crew, and audience members. Caution should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to SPL in excess of 85 dB.

CARE & CLEANING

IRX115s may be cleaned with a dry cloth. Do not allow moisture into any of the openings in the system. Ensure that the system is unplugged 
from the AC outlet before cleaning.

THIS APPARATUS CONTAINS POTENTIALLY LETHAL VOLTAGES. TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK OR HAZARD, DO NOT REMOVE CHASSIS, 
MIXER MODULE, OR AC INPUT COVERS. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
