CAUTION!
Possible hearing damage
The device can produce volume levels that may cause temporary or permanent
hearing impairment. Over an extended period of time, even levels that seem to
be uncritical can cause hearing damage.
Decrease the volume level immediately if you experience ringing in your ears or
hearing impairment. If this is not possible, keep a greater distance or use suffi‐
cient ear protectors.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to heavy weight
Due to the heavy weight of the device, at least two persons are required for trans‐

4.1 Tips on handling speakers
We recommend you to set up the speakers in a way, that their sound signals can reach the
audience unobstructedly.
Always use high grade cables to connect your equipment. Otherwise you won't reach max‐
imum sound quality.
For optimum results both impedance and power handling of the speakers must match the
requirements of the amplifier. Always follow the technical specifications of all equipment
involved!
The overall impedance of the connected loudspeakers must not deceed the minimum output
impedance of the amp. The amps max. RMS output power should be 50 % above the power
handling capacity of the connected speakers.
If you notice distortion during operation, either the amp or the speaker is overloaded. This may
permanently damage the amp or the speaker. Always reduce the volume as soon as you notice
distortion.

4.2 Speaker rigging
For rigging the speaker box on special mounting devices, M8 threads are flush-mounted on
top, bottom and sides of the box. You can insert screw eyes (double studs) into these threads.
Check for secure connection of the screw eyes to the box, before rigging the box.
