time  reading  this  manual,  and  keep  it  at  hand  for  future  reference.  NEXT-Proaudio  is

system will help you to operate your system to its full potential. 

 

SAFETY FIRST

 

 
 

It’s important that loudspeaker systems are used in a safe manner. Please take 

some time to review the following points concerning safe use of the NEXT LA8

V2

 line-array 

element. 
 

DANGER – HEARING DAMAGE 

 

 
 

LA8

V2

 line-array systems are capable of producing extremely high sound pressure 

levels and should be  used with care. Hearing loss is cumulative and can result from levels 
above  90dB  if  people  are  exposed  for  a  long  period.  Never  stand  close  to  loudspeakers 
driven at high levels. 

 
Ground Stacking 

 

 

Always ensure that the floor or structure where the stack will be placed is even 

and  can  withstand  the  weight  of  the  complete  stack.  Do  not  stack  speakers  too  high, 
especially outdoors where winds could topple the stack. Place cables in a way that they do 

not  present  a  trip  hazard.  Do  not  place  any  objects  on  top  of  the  stack,  they  can  fall 
accidentally and cause injuries. Do not attempt to move the enclosures while connected. Try 
not to operate the LA under heavy rain or moisture, it is weather-resistant but not completely 
“weather-proof”.  Also  do  not  expose  the  systems  to  extreme  heat  or  cold  conditions  to 

prevent component damage.
