General Safety Instructions:
Loudspeakers produce a static magnetic eld even if they are not connected or are not in use. Therefore make
sure when erecting and transporting loudspeakers that they are nowhere near equipment and objects which
may be impaired or damaged by an external magnetic eld. Persons with cardiac pacemakers must maintain a
safe distance.
The minimum recommended safety clearance is 1 m.
Never stand in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers driven at a high level. Professional loudspeaker systems
are capable of causing a sound pressure level detrimental to human health. Seemingly non-critical sound levels
(from approx. 90 dB SPL) can cause hearing damage if people are exposed to it over a long period.
All connected cables must be laid in such a way that they cannot be crushed by objects and that nobody can
step on them! Replace damaged cables immediately and do not use them!
Use only accessory parts specied by TENNAX or original accessory parts from TENNAX. Check all cabinets and
accessories regularly for wear and replace them if necessary.
Do not set up the loudspeakers in places where they are permanently exposed to moisture, dust, dirt or direct
sunlight.
Care
Wipe the surface of loudspeakers only with a damp cloth and pure water. In case of heavy pollution, repeat the
above procedure several times if necessary. Do not use any chemical additives or aggressive detergents, as
these may harm and damage the surfaces.
Transport and storage
When transporting and storing the unit, it is important to ensure that the surface and front grill of the loudspe-
aker are not damaged. Moisture can penetrate through exposed wood surfaces and cause the wood to swell.
A bent or broken front grill will no longer adequately protect the sensitive speaker membranes. In addition,
appreciable dust deposits may considerably impair the functionality of a loudspeaker membrane. For this rea-
son, the loudspeakers should be transported and stored in a safe, careful, dry and largely dust-free manner.
The following accessory parts for transport and storage are available from TENNAX:

Setup
The Powerstick-6 is designed for vertical operation. A variety of accessories is available from TENNAX to secu-
rely attach the loudspeaker safely on tripods, distance rods or hanging it from on trusses, ceilings and walls.
Ensure that the loudspeakers are securely attached to prevent personal injury and damage of property.
Connecting cables
When connecting the cables to the loudspeaker, ensure that the polarity (+/-) and pin assignment (1/2) is
correct. Incorrect connection results in a signicant change in the loudspeaker sound characteristics and may
damage the compression driver.
The two connection sockets on the back of the loudspeaker can be used to link multiple loudspeakers on a
single amplier. Note that parallel connection reduces the total impedance (Ω) seen by the amplier. The total
impedance of loudspeakers connected in parallel must not drop below the minimum operating impedance of the
amplier.
TENNAX recommends to use the available 4 x 4 mm² Speakon cables for mobile use.
We recommend wiring the basses with at least 4 mm² in installations. The cables of the tops in installations
must be suciently dimensioned according to impedance, power and cable length.

Operation
TENNAX loudspeakers can be driven by standard linear ampliers.
For optimal performance, we recommend using the system ampliers and presets provided by TENNAX.
Be sure to select the appropriate preset before connecting the speaker to the system amplier or self-powered
subwoofer.
Operation with an incorrect preset may damage parts of the speaker.
