IMPORTANT NOTES
Before connecting and using this product, please read this instruction manual carefully and keep it on hand for
future reference. The manual is to be considered an integral part of this product and must accompany it when it
changes ownership as a reference for correct installation and use as well as for the safety precautions.
RCF S.p.A. will not assume any responsibility for the incorrect installation and / or use of this product.

WARNING
: To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, never expose this loudspeaker to rain or
humidity and dust, but the case this has been expressly designed and made to get a suitable IP
protection grade (indicated in the product specifications).
Safety precautions
1.
All the precautions
, in particular the safety ones,
must be read
with special attention
, as they provide
important information.
2. Loudspeaker lines (amplifier outputs) can have a sufficiently high voltage (i.e. 100 V) to involve a risk of
electrocution:
never install or connect this loudspeaker when the line is alive.
3. Make sure all connections have been made correctly and the loudspeaker input voltage (in a constant voltage
system) or its impedance is suitable for the amplifier output.
4. Protect loudspeaker lines from damage; make sure they are positioned in a way that they cannot be stepped on
or crushed by objects.
5. Make sure that no objects or liquids can get into this product, as this may cause a short circuit.
6. Never attempt to carry out any operations, modifications or repairs that are not expressly described in this
manual.
Contact your authorized service centre or qualified personnel should any of the following occur:
-
the loudspeaker does not function (or works in an anomalous way);
-
the cable has been damaged;
-
objects or liquids have got into the unit;
-
the loudspeaker has been damaged due to heavy impacts / fire.
7. Should the loudspeaker emit any strange odours or smoke,
remove it from the line after
having
switched the
amplifier off.
8. Do not connect this product to any equipment or accessories not foreseen.
For suspended installation, only use the dedicated anchoring points and do not try to hang this loudspeaker by
using elements that are unsuitable or not specific for this purpose.
Also check the suitability of the support surface to which the product is anchored (wall, ceiling, structure, etc.), and
the components used for attachment (screw anchors, screws, brackets not supplied by RCF etc.), which must
guarantee the security of the system / installation over time, also considering, for example, the mechanical
vibrations normally generated by transducers.
9.
RCF S.p.A. strongly recommends this product is only installed by professional qualified installers (or
specialised firms) who can ensure a correct installation and certify it according to the regulations in force.
The entire audio system must comply with the current standards and regulations regarding electrical systems.
10. There are numerous mechanical and electrical factors to be considered when installing a professional audio
system (in addition to those which are strictly acoustic, such as sound pressure, angles of coverage, frequency
response, etc.).
11. Hearing loss
Exposure to high sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. The acoustic pressure level that leads to hearing
loss is different from person to person and depends on the duration of exposure. To prevent potentially dangerous
exposure to high levels of acoustic pressure, anyone who is exposed to these levels should use adequate
protection devices. When a transducer capable of producing high sound levels is being used, it is therefore
necessary to wear ear plugs or protective earphones.
See the technical specifications in the instruction manual for the maximum sound pressure the loudspeaker is
capable of producing.
12. To ensure a correct musical reproduction, loudspeaker phase is to be respected (loudspeakers are connected
respecting the amplifier polarity). This is important when loudspeakers are installed adjacent one another, for
instance, in the same room.
13. To prevent inductive effects from causing hum, noise and a bad system working, loudspeaker lines should not
be laid together with other electric cables (mains), microphone or line level signal cables connected to amplifier
inputs.
14. The loudspeaker cable shall have wires with a suitable section (twisted, if possible, to reduce inductive effects
due to surrounding electro-magnetic fields) and a sufficient electrical insulation.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
-
Install this loudspeaker far from any heat source.
-
Do not overload this product for extended periods of time.
-
Never force the control elements (keys, knobs, etc. ).
-
Do not use solvents, alcohol, benzene or other volatile substances for cleaning the external parts of this
product.
