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. 
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 be b3° C and +45° C. Keep away from direct insulation( particularly in cars) and heaters. 
The ambient temperature must be between -20°c and +45°c in case of use with the covers. Please avoid any direct radiation from the sun to 
ensure a good cooling of the electronics. When the system is used at very low t°, the user has to make a running during a few minutes at 
low levels, and increase the level every 3 minutes to ensure good thermal and mechanical features. 
This speaker system must only be installed at a solid, plane, anti-slip, vibration-free, oscillation-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 8 times the system's load (e.g. weight 20 kg 
- point load 160 kg). 
The speaker system must never be installed higher than 100 cm without secondary attachment. 
For overhead use (mounting height >100 cm), always fix the speaker system with an appropriate safety rope. 

 
DANGER! 

This speaker system must only be suspended by experienced and trained persons - Danger to Life due to crashing speaker systems! 
 
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, an appropriate stand or an appropriate wall-mounting. The carrying capacity of the distance-tube, the speaker 
stand, the stand or the wall-mounting must never be exceeded.  
 
The Top units must always provide enough stability. The Sub unit 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! 
 
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. 

 

 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.  Always monitor the sound pressure level when operating an amplification system in discotheques, concerts 
etc. Never exceed the permissible noise level exposures as specified by your authorities. The monitoring of the noise levels must be 
documented in an appropriate way. 
 
Hearing damage caused by high noise levels can be treated as physical injury and persecuted by law. Please note that the organizer is 
responsible for keeping to a specified noise level. If this noise level will be exceeded, the event may be cancelled immediately. 
If the organizer does not fulfil his safety duties, he is reliable by civil law for any damages occurred, e.g.: Pay the treatment costs of the 
damaged person, pay a smart money to the damaged person. 
 
Economic damage caused can be demanded from the operator of the amplification system. If hired persons work with amplification systems: 
the noise levels of music events are almost always too high. This is why the entrepreneur has to set up warning signs and provide hearing 
protectors. The staff has to use these. 

 

 

AudioFocus© cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect installations and 

excessive noise levels.
