Thank you for buying the APart OVO8P active 2-way speaker. We have put great 
care and effort in the design in order to guarantee the highest possible sound 
quality. Please read this manual before using the product. This manual provides 
you with the information necessary to ensure a seamless installation and the best 
possible sound quality. A power amplifier has already been incorporated inside 
the speaker cabinet. The speaker is available in black or white and is equipped 
with a sturdy metal speaker bracket for easy installation at various possible angles. 
The speaker has balanced line inputs on XLR and unbalanced line inputs on RCA 
connectors. The inputs can be linked in order to daisy chain multiple units.

For indoor use only! This speaker is not magnetically shielded.

recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing 
high sound pressure levels, such as this unit, wear sufficient ear protection 
while installing or operating this unit.
