1. Safety | Intended use

Please adhere to the following safety instructions to avoid risks when operating loudspeakers.

The  VERA S15 loudspeaker was developed for use in professional sound systems. The 
loudspeaker may only be used by trained and qualified personnel.

Note the operating modes described in this operating manual. Other uses are not permis-
sible.

Damage caused by improper use is not covered by TW AUDiO.

Loudspeakers generate an electromagnetic field. Persons with pacemakers are not permit-
ted to remain in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers as the electromagnetic fields can 
cause pacemakers to malfunction.

When working with heavy loads exceeding 20 kg (44,09 lbs.), use suitable aids (dollies, hois-
ting slings, etc.). Multiple persons may be required depending on the situation.

Ensure that the units are in a stable position and are firmly attached. A falling loudspeaker can 
result in serious personal injury and property damage.

When using and assembling TW AUDiO loudspeakers, only use materials specified by 
TW AUDiO. These tasks must be performed by qualified personnel. Adhere to the applicable 
safety regulations.

WARNING

When setting up loudspeakers, ensure that they are not exposed to the following ambient 
conditions:

• 

direct sunlight

• Humidity
• Jolting
• Dust

Keep away from the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers that are operated at high sound pres-
sure levels. These loudspeaker systems are capable of endangering your health. Sound levels 
beginning as low as approximately 90 dB SPL can lead to long-term hearing impairment. 

WARNING

Avoid:

• Feedback
• Distorted signals (clipping) and
• Peaks resulting from switching on devices, plugging in devices or unplugging devices during 
operation.

Such signals can lead to loudspeaker overload and ultimately to loudspeaker failure.
