Before installing the system, make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 5 times
the system's load (e.g. weight 20 kg - point load 100 kg).
The installation of the speaker has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight
for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
In order to safeguard sufficient ventilation, leave 50 cm of free space around the device.
Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging or servicing the
fixture.
Operate the speaker only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not
qualified for operating the speaker. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!
Never use solvents or aggressive detergents in order to clean the speaker! Rather use a soft and damp
cloth.
Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the speaker are forbidden due to safety reasons!
If this speaker will be operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product may
suffer damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to dangers like
crashes, hearing loss etc.
LEGAL INSTRUCTIONS
Operating an amplification system can produce extremely high noise levels that may cause a permanent
hearing loss. The legal instructions for using an amplification system vary from country to country. The user
must always inform himself on the legal instructions valid in his country and apply them to his situation.
Always monitor the sound pressure level when operating an amplification system in discotheques, concerts
etc. Never exceed the permissible noise level exposures as specified by your authorities. The monitoring of
the noise levels must be documented in an appropriate way.
In Germany, the following instructions are binding:
Strafgesetzbuch § 223 ff:

Hearing damage caused by high noise levels can be treated as physical injury and persecuted by law.
Please note that the organizer is responsible for keeping to a specified noise level. If this noise level will be
exceeded, the event may be cancelled immediately.
If the organiser does not fulfil his safety duties, he is reliable by civil law for any damages occurred, e.g.:
Pay the treatment costs of the damaged person.
Pay a smart money to the damaged person.
Economic damage caused can be demanded from the operator of the amplification system.
If hired persons work with amplification systems: the noise levels of music events are almost always too high.
This is why the entrepreneur has to set up warning signs and provide hearing protectors. The staff has to
use these.
Please note:
OMNITRONIC cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect installations and
excessive noise levels!
