operating them.

2. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS – For future reference.

3. COMPLY WITH ALL WARNINGS – Non compliance may void warranty of the product.

4. USE WITH AMPLIFIERS – In order to avoid damage to drivers and other equipment, it is advisable to establish and 

follow  a  routine  for  powering  up  and  powering  down  a  sound  system.  With  all  system  components  connected,  turn 

on source equipment (mixers, signal processors, record and playback units etc.) BEFORE powering up amplifiers. 

Transient  voltages  from  powering  up  source  equipment  can  damage  speakers  if  amplifiers  are  already  turned  on. 

Make sure that amplifier volumes are set to their minimum settings and power up any system amplifiers LAST. It is 

recommended  that  all  system  components  be  allowed  to  stabilize  for  few  seconds  before  any  source  signals  are 

introduced or level setting adjustments are made. Similarly, when shutting systems down, turn all amplifiers off first, 

before powering down any other system components.

5.  CABLES  –  Do  not  use  shielded  or  microphone  cables  for  connection  between  amplifiers  and  speakers.  Use  only 

approved speaker cables with proper connectors.

6.  RIGGING  –  SUSPENDING  –  MOUNTING  –  RIGGING,  Suspending  and  mounting  of  these  speaker  systems  can 

expose members of the public to serious health risks and even death. Under no circumstances attempt to rig, suspend 

or otherwise mount these speakers unless you are fully qualified and certified to do so by relevant local, state and 
national authorities. All relevant safety regulations must be followed. If you are not properly qualified or do not know of 
pertinent regulations, consult qualified personnel for advice.

7. CAUTION – These professional loudspeaker systems are capable of generating very high sound pressure levels. Use 

care  with  placement  and  operation  to  avoid  exposure  to  excessive  volume  levels.  Permanent  hearing  damage  can 

result when operated to extreme levels.

8. SERVICE – There are no user serviceable parts inside this product. Users should not attempt to service this product. 

Warranty nullification could result if this is attempted.
