Cautions

Cautions

  The unit must be disconnected from the AC power source before any work is done on it.  Refer all servicing to 

qualified service personnel.

The back plate can become hot to the touch.  Do not block or cover the fan or the exhaust louvers from ventila-

tion.  There must be a minimum of 4” of space behind the fan.  Do not allow the airflow to be become blocked 

by objects such as curtains or drapes, thermal building insulation, etc.  It is recommended that the rear of the 

P2™ not be placed in a closed space or a space that has no fresh, cool airflow.

Be sure to keep the microphone away from the front of the speaker after connecting it to the input, and while 

setting the microphone level, or very loud feedback will occur!  Damage to the system is likely if this occurs!

  DO NOT connect the inputs of the P2™ to the output of a power amplifier. The inputs are meant to be driven 

from a line-level strength signal.

DO NOT remove the protective metal grille.

WARNING!

 The P2™ is very efficient and powerful! This sound system can permanently damage hearing!  Use 

extreme care setting the overall maximum loudness!

The apparent sound level of the P2 can be deceiving due to its clear, clean sound output. The lack of distortion or 

obvious distress can make the sound level seem much lower than it actually is. This system is capable of SPL in 

excess of 122 dB at 1 M from the speaker!

WARNING!

  Due to the nature of the plug in connections of the array speakers to the Sub, please be careful to 

always place the P2 on a flat surface (no more than 5°angle).

 System Connection

Connecting AC Power To The P

2

The P2 comes with an 6-foot IEC connection AC power cord. If you are using an extension cord or power strip 

with this powered speaker, make sure it is of good quality and of a sufficient current capacity to maintain safety 

and maximize the power output capability of the P2.  For maximum undistorted output, do not connect any 

other device to the same extension cord that the P2 is connected to.  Do not exceed the rated current capacity of 

the extension cord with the sum total of all units connected to it.

When first plugging in the AC cord, make sure the power switch is in the Off position, and then turn it On only 

once the power cord has been connected.  
Power on sequence:
1. Minimize the output level of mixer (or other audio source).
2. Turn on the audio source devices, such as CD players, mixers, instruments.
3. Turn on the P2. After that, the output level can be increased step by step.

Power off sequence:
1. Turn off the P2.
2. Turn off all the audio source devices.
