Section 2: Precautions
The EON 206P PAsystem covered by this manual is not intended for use in high
moisture environments. Moisture can damage the speaker cone and surround and cause
corrosion
of
electrical contacts and metal parts.Avoid exposing the speakers to direct
moisture. Keep speakers out
of
extended
or
intense direct sunlight. The driversuspension
will prematurely dry out and finished surfaces may be degraded by long-term exposure
to intense ultra-violet (UV) light. The EON 206P PA system can generate considerable
energy. When placed on a slippery surface such as polished wood
or
linoleum, the
speaker may move due to its acoustical energy output. Precautions should be taken to
assure that the speaker does not fall offa stage
or
table on which it is placed.
Stand Mounting Safety Precautions
The EON 206P speakers contain a 36 mm receptacle cup to allow mounting on tripod stands
or
on a pole over
subwoofers. When using stands
or
poles, be sure to observe the following precautions:
• Check the stand or pole specification
to
be certain the device is designed to support the weight
of
the
speaker. Observe all safety precautions specified by the manufacturer.
• Always verify that the stand (or subwoofer/pole) is placed on a flat, level and stable surface and
be sure to fully extend the legs
of
tripod type stands. Position the stand
so
that the legs
do
not
present a trip hazard.
• Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip and topple the
speakers over.
• Inspect the stand (or pole and associated hardware) before each use and do not use equipment with
worn, damaged or missing parts.
•
Do
not attempt to place more than one EON 206P series speaker on a stand
or
pole.
• Always be cautious in windy, outdoorconditions. It may be necessary to place additional weight (i.e.
sandbags) on the base
of
the stand to improve stability. Avoid attaching banners
or
similar items to
any part
of
a speaker system. Such attachments could act
as
a sail and topple the system.
• Unless you are confident that you can handle the weight
of
the speaker, ask another person to help
you
get
it onto the tripod stand
or
pole.
Hearing Damage, Prolonged Exposure To Excessive SPL
The EON 206P system is 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.
