SECTION 2 : 

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The VP Series loudspeakers covered by this manual are not intended for fixed installation in outdoor 
or  high  moisture  environments.  Moisture  can  damage  the  speaker  cone  and  surround  and  cause 
corrosion of electrical contacts and metal parts. Avoid exposing the speakers to direct moisture. Keep 
loudspeakers out of extended or intense direct sunlight. The driver suspension will prematurely dry out 
and finished surfaces may be degraded by long-term exposure to intense ultra-violet (UV) light. 

The VP Series loudspeakers can generate considerable energy. When placed on a slippery surface such 
as polished wood or linoleum, the speaker may move due to its acoustical energy output. Precautions 
should be taken to assure that the speaker does not fall off a stage or table on which it is placed.

Stand mounting safety precautions

Some  VP  Series  models  can  be  used  with  an  optional  stand  mount  accessory  allowing  mounting 
on tripod stands or on a pole over subwoofers. When using stands or poles, be sure to observe the 
following precautions: 

 

Check  the  stand  or  pole  specification  to  be  certain  the  device  is  designed  to  support  the 
weight of the speaker. Observe all safety precautions specified by the manufacturer. 

 

Always verify that the stand (or subwoofer / pole) is placed on a flat, level, and stable surface 
and be sure to fully extend the legs of tripod type stands. Position the stand so that the legs 
do not present a trip hazard.

 

Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip over them and 
pull the speaker over. 

 

Inspect the stand (or pole and associated hardware) before each use and do not use equipment 
with worn, damaged, or missing parts.

 

Do not attempt to place more than one VP Series loudspeaker on a stand or pole. 

 

Always  be  cautious  in  windy,  outdoor  conditions.  It  may  be  necessary  to  place  additional 
weight (i.e. sandbags) on the base of the stand to improve stability. Avoid attaching banners or 
similar items to any part of a speaker system. Such attachments could act as a sail and topple 
the system.

 

Unless you are confident that you can handle the weight of the speaker, ask another person 
to help you get it onto the tripod stand or pole. 

Hearing damage, prolonged exposure to excessive SPL

VP  Series  loudspeakers  are  easily  capable  of  generating  sound  pressure  levels  (SPL)  sufficient  to 
cause permanent hearing damage to performers, production crew and audience members. Caution 
should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to SPL in excess of 90 dB.
