WARNING
Danger of hearing damage due to sudden high sound pressure levels!
Audio signals that are present at switch-on of the product or that can be present during
operation, can create sudden, very high sound pressure levels which can damage your
hearing .
X
Always lower the output level of the audio source
before
connecting it to the subwoofer
or starting it (pressing “play”) .
This subwoofer can be used for commercial purposes . Commercial use is subject to the rules
and regulations of the trade association responsible . Neumann, as the manufacturer, is there-
fore obliged to expressly point out possible health risks arising from use . This subwoofer is
capable of producing sound pressure levels exceeding 85 dB(A) SPL . This is the sound pres-
sure corresponding to the maximum permissible level which is by law (in some countries)
allowed to affect your hearing for the duration of a working day (8 hours) . It is used as a basis
according to the specifications of industrial medicine . Higher sound pressure levels and/or
longer durations can damage your hearing .
At higher sound pressure levels, the duration must be shortened in order to prevent hearing
damage . The following are signs that you have been subjected to excessive sound pressure
levels for too long a time .
• You can hear ringing or whistling sounds in your ears .
• You have the impression (even for a short time only) that you can no longer hear high fre-
quencies (temporary threshold shift) .
WARNING
Interference due to magnetic fields!
This product generates stronger permanent magnetic fields that can interfere with cardiac
pacemakers and implanted defibrillators (ICDs) .
X
Always maintain a distance of at least 4" (10 cm) between the subwoofer and the cardiac
pacemaker or implanted defibrillator .
