• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices that are connected to
the PA-Box.
• Never pour liquids over electrical devices and never place objects filled with liquid on top of
them.
• Do not place naked flames such as burning candles on the device.
• Do not store any magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, video tapes etc. in the prox-
imity of the PA-Box, as the magnetic field from the loudspeaker may corrupt the information
stored on the storage media.
• Do not listen to excessively loud music for long periods of time. This may damage your hearing.
• Do not expose the PA-Box to high temperatures, drips or water spray, strong vibrations or high
humidity.
• Only use the PA-Box in a temperate climate, do not use in tropical climates.

Set-up
Do not place your PA-Box in the direct vicinity of video screens such as TV
sets or computer monitors. The magnetic field from the loudspeakers might
distort the image on such devices.
When setting up the PA-Box, make sure that it is on a stable base and a suit-
ably stable surface.
If you install the PA-Box in an elevated position or stack Boxes on top of one
another, the Boxes must be secured with suitable securing devices. When so
doing, ensure that the fastening material and the anchoring area are suffi-
ciently dimensioned.
Serious personal injuries could be caused if the PA-Boxes fall. Therefore,
securing the PA-Box must be done by experienced and trained personnel.
If the PA-Box is set up on a stand, it must be suitably robust and appropriate
for the weight of the loudspeaker.
• Set up the PA-Box in the desired location.
• If necessary, a loudspeaker stand can be inserted in the loudspeaker flange on the Box bottom.
• Align the sound outlet as desired.
Connection
When making the connection to the PA-Box, ensure that the connecting cable
is not pinched or damaged by sharp edges.
The loudspeakers may only be connected to suitable loudspeaker outlets on
audio devices.
Make sure the impedance and power rating indicated in the technical data
complies with the data for the amplifier connected. Otherwise the PA-Box or
the amplifier may be damaged.
The amplifier which is to be connected to the PA-Box has to be turned off
during connecting.
Do not lay the connection cable in such a manner that it could be tripped over.
• Connect the positive loudspeaker output of the amplifier to the red or (+) marked clamp on the
PA-Box.
• Connect the negative loudspeaker output of the amplifier to the black or (-) marked clamp on
the PA-box.
• Pay attention to the loading capacity of the amplifier. The total impedance for the connected
loudspeakers must not fall short of the minimum impedance for the amplifier.
Maintenance and Care
The PA-Box does not require any maintenance.
It should only be vacuum cleaned on the outside. Make sure not to touch the sensitive speaker
membranes.
Never use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions as the carpet cover or the
membrane could be damaged.
Disposal
Please dispose of the device when it is no longer of use, according to the current
statutory requirements.
