The
Premier
speakers covered by this manual are designed for portable applications in which the
speakers will be stacked directly on the floor, stage, a solid stable platform, mounted on a tripod stand or
pole-mount.
Premier
professional does not support suspension of the models covered by this manual,
nor are these models intended for fixed installation in outdoor or high moisture environments. Moisture
can damage the speaker cone and surround and cause corrosion of electrical circuits. The driver
suspension will prematurely dry out, and finished surfaces may degrade by long-term exposure to
intense ultra-violet light.
Premier
professional speakers can generate considerable energy. When placed on a slippery surface
such as polished wood or linoleum, the speaker may move due to vibrations caused by its acoustical
energy output. Precautions should be taken to assure that the speaker does not fall of a stage or table
on which it is placed.
To avoid damage to your speaker and other parts of your system, when you turn your system ON,
ALWAYS turn ON the power amplifier last! This will avoid loud, damaging pops that will annoy your
audience and blow your speakers. When you power down, the amplifier should ALWAYS be turned off
first to avoid the same problems.
When using two or more speaker systems, be sure to match the polarity (+/-) of the speaker system
connectors to those of the amplifier. If polarities do not match, the sounds produced by the speaker will
interfere with each other, making it impossible to achieve a well-balanced sound field.
Some
Premier
speaker models include a receptacle cup to allow on tripod stands or poles. When using
stands, be sure to observe the following precaution:
-
Check the stand specification to be certain it is designed to support the weight of the speaker
-
Observe all safety precautions specified by the stand manufacture.
-
Always verify that the stand 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 pulling the
speaker over.
-
Do not attempt to place more than one speaker on a stand designed for single speaker
-
Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions. It may be necessary to place additional weight on
the base of the stand to improve stability.
-
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 of pole.
Premier
loudspeakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure levels (SPL) sufficient to cause
permanent hearing damage to performers, production crew and audience. Caution should be taken to
avoid prolonged exposure to SPL in excess of 90
dB.
