IMPORTANT WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS –  carefully and become familiar with the features 

and functions of these products before operating them.

2. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS –  for future reference.

3. COMPLY WITH ALL WARNINGS – All warnings and instructions for this 

product should be adhered to.

4. USE WITH AMPLIFIERS – In order to avoid damage to drivers and other 

equipment, it is advisable to establish and follow a routine for powering up and 

powering down a sound system. With all system components connected, turn 

on source equipment (mixers, signal processors, record and playback units, 

etc.) BEFORE powering up amplifiers. Transient voltages from powering up 

source equipment can damage speakers if amplifiers are already turned on. 

Make sure that amplifier volumes are set to their minimum settings and power 

up any system amplifiers LAST. It is recommended that all system components 

be allowed to stabilize for several seconds before any source signals are 

introduced or level setting adjustments are made. Similarly, when shutting 

systems down, turn all amplifiers off first, before powering down any other 

system components.

5. CABLES – Do not use shielded or microphone cables for connection between 

amplifiers and speakers. Use only approved speaker cables with proper 

connectors.

6.  CAUTION  – These  professional  loudspeaker  systems  are  capable  of 

generating very high sound pressure levels. Use care with placement and 

operation to avoid exposure to excessive volume levels. Permanent hearing 

damage can result when operated to extreme levels.

7. SERVICE – There are no user serviceable parts inside this product. Users 

should not attempt to service this product. Warranty nullification could result if 

this is attempted. 

8. RIGGING - SUSPENDING - MOUNTING - Rigging suspending or mounting of  

speaker systems can expose members of the public to serious health risks and 

even death. 

  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT TO RIG, SUSPEND OR 

OTHERWISE  MOUNT  THESE  SPEAKERS  UNLESS  YOU  ARE 

FULLY  QUALIFIED  AND  CERTIFIED  TO  DO  SO  BY  RELEVANT 

LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL AUTHORITIES. ALL RELEVANT 

SAFETY  REGULATIONS  MUST  BE  FOLLOWED.  IF  YOU  ARE 

NOT PROPERLY QUALIFIED OR DO NOT KNOW OF PERTINENT
