Before You Begin
The Cerwin‐Vega CVX powered speaker series covered by this guide are designed for portable and
certain fixed applications in which the speakers will be stacked directly on a floor, stage, stable
platform, or mounted on a tripod stand, pole‐mount, or flown properly. Cerwin‐Vega does not
support suspension of the subwoofer models covered by this guide nor are these models intended
for outdoor or high‐moisture fixed installations. Moisture can damage the speaker cone or
surround and cause corrosion of electrical contacts so avoid exposing the speakers to direct
moisture.
Cerwin‐Vega speakers can generate considerable energy. When placed on a slippery surface such
as polished wood or linoleum, the speaker may move due to its own mechanical vibration.
Precautions should be taken to assure that the speaker does not fall off a stage or table on which it
is placed.
Some Cerwin‐Vega speakers include a receptacle cup to allow mounting of a satellite speaker on
top of the subwoofer using a standard speaker pole shaft. When using a standard speaker pole
shaft, be sure to observe the following precautions:
• Check the speaker pole shaft specification to be certain it is designed to support the weight of the
speakers.
• Observe all safety precautions specified by the speaker pole shaft manufacturer.
• Always verify that the subwoofer is placed on a flat, level, and stable surface.
• Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip over them, toppling
the speaker.
• Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions as the stability of the entire system may be
compromised.
Cerwin‐Vega speakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure levels (SPL) sufficient to cause
permanent hearing damage to performers, production crew and audience members. Caution should
be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to SPL in excess of 90 dB(A).
