Section 2: Precautions

   
 

The EON208P PA system 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 EON208P PA system 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. 

Stand Mounting Safety Precautions 

The EON208P speakers contain a 36 mm receptacle cup to allow mounting on tripod stands or on a pole over 

subwoofers. When using stands or poles, be sure to observe the following precautions: 

 

•   Check the stand or pole specification to be certain the device is designed to support the weight of the 

 

     speaker. Observe all safety precautions specified by the manufacturer. 

 

•   Always verify that the stand (or subwoofer/pole) is placed on a flat, level and stable surface and 

 

    be sure to fully extend the legs of tripod type stands. Position the stand so that the legs do not  

 

    present a trip hazard. 

 

•   Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip and topple the 

 

    speakers over. 

 

•   Inspect the stand (or pole and associated hardware) before each use and do not use equipment with 

 

    worn, damaged or missing parts. 

 

•   Do not attempt to place more than one EON208P series speaker on a stand or pole. 

 

•   Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions. It may be necessary to place additional weight (i.e.  

 

    sandbags) on the base of the stand to improve stability. Avoid attaching banners or similar items to  

 

    any part of a speaker system. Such attachments could act as a sail and topple the system. 

 

•   Unless you are confident that you can handle the weight of the speaker, ask another person to help 

 

    you get it onto the tripod stand or pole. 

Hearing Damage, Prolonged Exposure to Excessive SPL

The EON208P system 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 90 dB. 

WATCH FOR THESE SYMBOLS! 

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended 

to alert the user to the presence of important operating 

and maintenance (Servicing) instructions in the literature 

accompanying the product.

The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an 

equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence 

of un-insulated "Dangerous Voltage" within the products 

enclusure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

!

WARNING  TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, 

DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
