instructions and heed all warnings. Also, a better understanding of some specific features of

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 LAs118 line-array
subwoofer element.
DANGER – HEARING DAMAGE
LAs118 subwoofer 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 and Pole-Mounting
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. When using a pole-mount
assemblage on LAs118 never insert more than one enclosure on the pole. 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 LAs118 subwoofer under heavy rain or moisture. LAs118 is
weather-resistant but not completely “weather-proof”. Also do not expose the systems to
extreme heat or cold conditions to prevent component damage.
