SAFETY FIRST
It’s important that loudspeaker systems are used in a safe manner. Please take some
time to review the following points concerning safe use of the NEXT LAs218 sub-woofer.
DANGER – HEARING DAMAGE
LAs218 dual subwoofers are capable of producing extremely high sound pressure
levels and should be used with care. Hearing loss is cumulative and can result from levels
above 90dB if people are exposed for a long period. Never stand close to loudspeakers
driven at high levels.
Stacking
Always ensure that the floor or structure where the stack will take place is even and
can withstand the weight of the complete stack. Do not stack speakers too high, especially
outdoors where winds could topple the stack. Be aware that speakers working at very high
power levels generate vibrations that can creep the systems. Take additional measures to
prevent this if needed. Place cables in a way that they do not present a trip hazard. Don’t
place any objects on top of the stack, they can fall accidentally and cause injuries. Do not
attempt to move the enclosures while connected. Try not to operate the LAs218 under heavy
rain or moisture, it is weather-resistant but not completely “weather-proof”. Also do not
expose the systems to extreme heat or cold conditions to prevent component damage.
