The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands

Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or 
distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing “comfort level” 
adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting 
your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

•  Set your volume control at a low setting. 
•  Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion. 
•  Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

•  Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
•  Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
•  Do not use headphones while operating a motorised vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

disasters.

WARNING

!

  Ensure that the floor or stage surface in question can withstand the weight of the system. Consult a qualified professional for advice if the strength of the surface is 

unknown.

!

  Check to make sure that any mounting hardware used is enough to support the system, when using commercially available hardware. Make sure to read the 

Introduction section in this manual and the instruction manual for the mounting hardware thoroughly before proceeding. Be careful not to place any devices or other 
equipment on top of the system as such devices could fall, causing severe injury.

!

  After installation, you must confirm that the speakers are safely installed. You must also periodically check them to make sure that they are still safe.

!
