INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a NEXT PFA15 Digital Active system. This manual will
provide you with useful and important information about your PFA15 element. Please
devote some time reading this manual, and keep it at hand for future reference. NEXT-
Proaudio is concerned with your safety and well-being, so please follow all instructions
and heed all warnings. Also, a better understanding of some specific features of the CX
Series system will help you to operate it to its’ full potential.
UNPACKING
NEXT PFA Series systems are built in Europe (Portugal) by NEXT-Proaudio,
according to the highest standards and thoroughly inspected before they leave the
factory. When unpacking your PFA15, examine it carefully for any signs of possible
transit damage and inform your dealer immediately if any such damage has occurred.
It is suggested that you retain the original packaging so that the PFA15 can be
repacked in the future if necessary. Please note that NEXT-Proaudio and its’ authorized
distributors cannot accept any responsibility for damage to any returned product through
the use of non-approved packaging.
PFA SERIES OVERVIEW
NEXT-proaudio engineered the new PFA line of self-powered or passive
speaker cabinets, specifically for installations, musicians and DJs who want state-of-the-art
acoustics and electronics at a limited budget. This speaker line employs premium-quality
multi-plywood with a hardening, durable, and scratch-resistant coating, fully rotatable
constant directivity horns to adjust H x V angle coverage and custom made speaker
drivers. Manufacturing takes place in Europe at our plant based in Rio Tinto, Portugal.

Do not use your PFA15 near any sources of water, like swimming pools, lakes,
water streams, exposed to rain, high humidity environments or any other source
of water or moisture.
Use only a soft dry cloth to clean your PFA15.
Never place your PFA15 in a way that prevents air flow near the amplifier. A
minimum clearance distance of 6cm should be kept between the amplifier and
any near surface.
Never use your PFA15 too close to any heat source, such as radiators, or any
other device that produces heat.
When mounted on a pole, always ensure that the floor or structure where the
stack will take place is even and can withstand the weight.
Place cables in a way that they do not present a trip hazard.
Do not place any objects on top of the stack, they can fall accidentally and cause
injuries.
Do not attempt to move the enclosures while connected.
Do not attempt to service the PFA15 beyond what is described in this manual. All
other service or repair of this product should be carried only by qualified
personnel.
To prevent electric shock, do not use any extension cord, receptacle or other
outlets where the blades of the connectors cannot be fully inserted.
Precautions should be taken to prevent grounding failure or polarity switch.
It is advised to unplug the PFA15 during storms or when not in use for a long
period of time.
RIGGING AND SUSPENSION SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
PFA Series enclosures are designed for portable applications, but can be suspended by
means of the threaded inserts provided. These enclosures are fitted internally with steel
corner reinforcement brackets to ensure that each cabinet is strong enough to be hung
from its top.
Before rigging or suspending NEXT PFA Series systems, inspect all components
and all hardware for any signs of damage or missing parts. If you find any
damaged, corroded or deformed parts, do not use them, replace them
immediately.
