1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1) Do not use the speakers near water
2) Clean only with dry cloth
3) Do not block any ventilation slots Install in accordance with the instructions
4) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat
5) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug
6) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus
7) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer
8) Unplug this device during lightning storms or when unused for a long period
9) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel Servicing is required when the
speaker has been damaged in any way
2 PRECAUTIONS
When first powering up a system including brand new speaker cabinets, SAudio
recommends a gradual, minimum power ramp up for one hour This is to stabilize
the components during the very first hours of usage It is advisable to connect the
loudspeakers only after all the other system components have been wired and are
operating correctly This is particularly important for amplifiers and the controller It
is advisable to turn down all the amplifiers' gains before connecting the cabinets
and to turn them on again individually with a minimum level music source fed into
the system The sense LEDs of the corresponding controller channel should light
up accordingly This will help to locate wiring errors, particularly Left to Right or LF
to HF Sense line channel inversions which would disable the controller protection
circuits and may invalidate the warranty

USER MANUAL
This equipment can generate, use and radiate radio frequency energy, and if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help to identify and
resolve radio/TV Interference Problems
3 SAFETY RECOMMENDATION
It is important that loudspeaker systems are used in a safe manner Please take
some time to review the following points concerning safe use of the SAudio
loudspeakers Professional loudspeakers are capable of producing extremely high
sound levels and should be used with care Hearing loss is cumulative and can
result from levels above 90dB if people are exposed for a long period Never stand
close to loudspeakers driven at high level And please follow the below rules
1 Inspect the components before assembly Those affected should NOT be used
2 Carefully read the assembly instructions shipped with each accessory
3 Secondary safety steels must be installed once the system has been flown to
operating height Secondary steels must be fitted irrespective of the local safety
standards applicable to the territory

4 Deploy the flying accessories, please wear protective wears
5 Do not allow inexperienced persons to handle flying systems Installation
personnel should be trained in loudspeaker flying techniques
6 Ensure that public and personnel are not allowed to pass beneath the system
during the installation process The work area should be isolated from public
access
7 Stacking: Ensure that the floor or stage is level and solid Do not stack speakers
too high outdoors where winds could topple the stack Be aware that speakers
producing very high power levels can move or creep To avoid this, place friction
material between the floor and speaker and between each speaker
8 Select proper cables with correct size and length Cables which are too small
would increase its serial resistance; which would induce power-loss and response
variations (damping factor)
4 WARNING
Care should be taken to avoid amplifier clipping It is important to understand that a
low power amplifier driven into clipping is more likely to damage a loudspeaker than
a higher power amplifier used within its ratings This is because music signals have
a high peak-to- average "crest" factor When an amplifier is severely overdriven,
its output waveform is clipped (its peaks are squared off) – reducing the crest factor
In extreme cases, the waveform can approach that of a square wave An amplifier is
normally capable of producing far more power under these conditions than its
undistorted rated power output The use of very high power amplifiers with outputs
greater than those recommended is discouraged
Care should be taken to avoid switch-on surges, which can result in momentary
power peaks in excess of specified ratings When powering up a sound system it is

important to switch on the amplifiers after the mixer and control electronics have
stabilized When powering down the system, reverse the sequence and switch off
the amplifiers first
Also suspending the system should only be done by qualified personnel following
safe rigging practices Secure fixings to the building structure are vital Seek help
from architects, structural engineers or other specialists if in any doubt
5 INTRODUCTION
The recommended bass cabinet for Viper Line Array cabinet is the Mia Sub 15 The
Mia Sub 15 bass reflex subwoofer is equipped with a high power (500W RMS/ 1000W
PEAK) long stroke bass speaker The excellent fine-tuned low compression bass
construction has a very low and powerful bass performance The Mia Sub 15 bass
cabinet has the same width as the SAudio and also has the same flying hardware
with Mia Sub 15 The two features provide maximum options for the Mia Sub 15 So
the Mia Sub 15 could be flied together with SAudio in a Line Array application, the
Mia Sub 15 could be also used in the ground stack version
