IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE AMPLIFIER
COVER. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. WARNING: To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture. Do not use this
product near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Allow a minimum of 6" (152 mm) clearance behind cabinet for convection cooling. Keep anything that might
restrict airflow from the rear of the enclosure (i.e. draperies, fabric, etc.). Do not block any ventilation opening. This
product contains an internal power amplifier that produces heat.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other product (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug on the three-pronged “Edison” style power cable. The
grounding plug has two blades and a grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug
does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet. Do not cut off the grounding
plug or use an adapter that breaks the grounding circuit. This product must be properly grounded for your safety.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the product.
11. The appliance coupler is the AC mains disconnect and should remain readily operable after installation.
12. Use only attachments/accessories specified by Blastking USA.
13. Use only with hardware, brackets, and components sold with the product or by Blastking USA.
14. Unplug the product during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
15. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the product has been damaged in
any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the prod-
uct, the product has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally or has been dropped.
16. Before placing, installing, rigging or suspending any loudspeaker product, inspect all hardware, suspension,
cabinets, transducers, brackets and associated equipment for damage. Any missing, corroded, deformed, or non-load
rated component could significantly reduce the strength of the installation and should be immediately corrected. Use
only hardware which is rated for the loading conditions of the installation and any possible short-term unexpected
overloading. Never exceed the rating of the hardware or equipment.
17. Consult a licensed, professional engineer when any doubt or questions arise regarding a physical equipment
installation.
18. The appliance shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on the product.
The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous” voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be
of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of shock to humans.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operation and maintenance (servicing) instructions in this manual.
WARNING!

Introduction
Jam-packed with innovation and a fresh modern design, introducing the all-new NOVO series from Blastking.
With every aspect of NOVO being designed in the USA, the quality and performance is very evident in appear-
ance and performance. All active models are equipped with DSP processing and boundary pushing Class D
amplification. NOVO is raising the bar for full range loudspeakers, subwoofers and portable array systems.
Installation
Before placing, installing, rigging, or suspending any speaker product, inspect all hardware, suspension, cabinets,
transducers, brackets and associated equipment for damage.
Any missing, corroded, deformed, or non-load rated component could significantly reduce the strength of the installation or
placement. Any such condition severely reduces the safety of the installation and should be immediately corrected. Use only
hardware which is rated for the loading conditions of the installation and any possible short-term,unexpected overloading.
Never exceed the rating of the hardware or equipment. Consult a licensed, professional engineer regarding physical
equipment installation. Ensure that all local, state and national regulations regarding the safety and operation of loudspeakers
and related equipment are understood and adhered to.
Maintenance
Overpowering the unit or overheating it because of improper system arrangement could harm the unit.
For longest possible operating life, and to avoid warranty issues, it is recommended that there is at least a few inches of
space around an active speaker.
Please avoid exposing the speaker to moisture or extreme cold conditions. Do not put the speaker anywhere near water
sources as it can damage the unit or cause a short circuit.
Blastking takes no responsibility for improper repair, replacement, or any other services conducted by unqualified technicians.
