Check

 

ALL

 

involved

 

electrical

 

devices

 

such

 

as

 

cables,

 

Speakon

 

sockets

 

and

 

other

 

components

 

which

 

are

 

involved

 

in

 

the

 

powering

 

process

 

of

 

the

 

loudspeaker

 

before

 

every

 

use!

 

Even

 

with

 

the

Lambda Labs does not recommend the use of stacked Lambda Labs subwoofers higher than  
3 meters (78,7“) with wind forces greater than 6 bft (12.3 m / s, 44 km / h,). If the wind 
force exceeds 8 bft ( (17.8 m / s, 62 km / h), clear the loudspeaker area, bring down the 
loudspeakers and secure them!

In the event of a potential damage of a loudspeaker by falling down from a height or being 
involved  in  a  transportation  accident,  it  is  mandatory  to  check  the  loudspeaker  for 
mechanical stability.
