•
Do NOT drive any of your electronic equipment into clipping, particularly the power
amplifiers. This can easily damage the loudspeaker.
•
If driven into clipping, even the amplifier with a power output rating lower than EAW’s
power rating can cause damage to a loudspeaker.
•
Avoid sustained microphone feedback. This can quickly cause failure of mid and
high frequency drivers.
•
Avoid extreme boosts on equalizers as these can cause excessive input to the drivers
at the boosted frequencies. Generally, cutting frequencies is preferred to correct for
frequency response problems. These problems include attenuating feedback
frequencies or reducing excessive energy at certain frequencies due to room acoustics.
•
With appropriate signal processing, your loudspeaker should produce exceptionally
good sound. If used in a room with problematic acoustics, there is little you can do
to overcome room problems with electronic adjustments. Your best solution is careful
placement and aiming of the loudspeaker so that most of the sound is directed only at
the audience.
•
EAW loudspeakers are capable of sound levels that can be damaging to human
hearing. Take precautions so that audiences are not exposed to such levels. If you must
expose yourself to these kinds of volume levels, wear adequate hearing protection.
•
Take care when moving or lifting the loudspeaker. Injury to you or damage to the
loudspeaker can result from careless handling.
