A crashing speaker-system can cause deadly accidents. All safety instructions given in this
manual must be observed.
Please note that speaker-systems could move due to bass-beats and vibrations. Furthermore, unintended
pushes from DJs, musicians or the audience present further risk. This is why the speaker-system must
always be secured against moving or the respective area has to be blocked.
Before the speaker-system is switched on all faders and volume controls have to be set to "0" or "min"
position.
CAUTION:
Turn the amplifier on last and off first!
HEALTH HAZARD!
By operating speaker-systems with an amplifier, you can produce excessive sound pressure
levels that may lead to permanent hearing loss.
Keep away children and amateurs!
There are no serviceable parts inside the speaker-system. Maintenance and service operations are only to
be carried out by authorized dealers.
3. OPERATING DETERMINATIONS
This speaker-system is a passive system which can be used for permanent installations or for mobile use.
This product is only allowed to be connected with an appropriate power amplifier and was designed for
indoor use only.
The given maximum power of the speaker-system describes short-term peaks the system can handle as a
maximum. The correspondent RMS power is - as of all comparable systems (also from other manufacturers)
- significantly lower. The maximum power of the speaker-system must never be exceeded. When operating
the speaker-system, please make sure that the loudspeakers always sound well. When distorsions can be
heard, either the amplifier or the loudspeaker is overloaded. Overloads can quickly lead to amplifier or
speaker damage. In order to avoid damage, please reduce the volume immediately when distortions can be
heard. When speaker-systems are destroyed by overload, the guarantee becomes void.
By operating speaker-systems with an amplifier, you can produce excessive sound pressure levels that may
lead to permanent hearing loss. Please refer to the explanations under "Legal instructions".
WARNING!
Speaker-systems must only be operated by trained persons.
Danger of Life due to crashing speaker-systems or hearing loss due to excessive sound pressure
levels! The different local conditions have to be considered in terms of safety rules.
This speaker-system must never be operated or stockpiled in surroundings where splash water, rain,
moisture or fog may harm the speaker-system. When using smoke machines, make sure that the speaker-
system is never exposed to the direct smoke jet and is installed in a distance of 0.5 meters between smoke
machine and speaker-system.
The ambient temperature must always be between -5° C and +45° C. Keep away from direct insulation
(particularly in cars) and heaters.
The relative humidity must not exceed 50 % with an ambient temperature of 45° C.
This speaker-system must only be installed at a solid, plane, anti-slip, vibration-free, oscilation-free and fire-
resistant location.

Please note:
when using this speaker-system in public or industrial areas, a series of safety instructions
have to be followed that this manual can only give in part. The operator must therefore inform himself on the
current safety instructions and consider them.
Before installing the system, make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 5 times
the system's load (e.g. weight 20 kg - point load 100 kg).
This speaker-system must never be installed higher than 100 cm.
DANGER!
This speaker-system must never be installed on a wall-mounting because the secondary
attachment cannot be fixed.
This speaker-system may only be installed on top of another speaker-system if both systems are lashed up
with each other via appropriate clamping belts and protected against flipping over.
DANGER!
This speaker-system must never be suspended - Danger to Life due to crashing
speaker-systems!
For monitor-speakers:
This speaker-system must never be stacked on top of another speaker-system.
If the original speaker-system is equipped with an appropriate flange:
This speaker-system can be installed on top of a subwoofer (satellite system), on a speaker stand or an
appropriate stand. The carrying capacity of the distance-tube, the speaker stand or the stand must never be
exceeded.
The satellite system must always provide enough stability. Satellite systems are only allowed if the
subwoofer's weight is twice as much as the top speaker's weight. Furthermore, the subwoofer's base surface
must always be sufficiently dimensioned in relation to the top speaker in order to prevent tilting over.
Operate the speaker-system only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by
persons not qualified for operating the speaker-system. Most damages are the result of unprofessional
operation!
This speaker-system is not designed for road use. The speaker-system is designed only for seldom
transports. When transporting this speaker-system, it must be moved carefully and without force.
Speaker-systems must never be transported with cranes.
Never stack heavy objects on this speaker-system. Persons must never climb onto this speaker-system.
Never use solvents or aggressive detergents in order to clean the speaker-system! Rather use a soft and
damp cloth.
Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the speaker-system are forbidden due to safety reasons!
If this speaker-system will be operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product
may suffer damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to
dangers like crashes, hearing loss etc.
3.1 Legal instructions
Operating an amplification system can produce extremely high noise levels that may cause a permanent
hearing loss. The legal instructions for using an amplification system vary from country to country. The user
must always inform himself on the legal instructions valid in his country and apply them to his situation.
