WARNING!
Consequences of faulty mounting
Faulty mounting may lead to lethal injuries or property damage. Please ensure that the norms and regulations valid in your country
are always observed when mounting and operating your product. In Germany: BGV C1, “Event and Production Sites for Stage Pre‐
sentations”. Only expertly trained sta may mount speakers.
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 su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 transport and installation.

NOTICE!
Operating conditions
This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid
direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and strong vibrations. Only operate the device within the ambient conditions specied in the chapter
‘Technical specications’ of this user manual. Avoid heavy temperature uctuations and do not switch the device on immediately
after it was exposed to temperature uctuations (for example after transport at low outside temperatures). Dust and dirt inside can
damage the unit. When operated in harmful ambient conditions (dust, smoke, nicotine, fog, etc.), the unit should be maintained by
qualied service personnel at regular intervals to prevent overheating and other malfunction.
NOTICE!
Possible staining
The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly react with the coating of your parquet, linoleum, laminate
or PVC oor and after some time cause permanent dark stains. In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the oor, but
use felt-pad oor protectors or a carpet.

4 Installation
Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the
equipment packaging. To fully protect the product against vibration, dust and moisture during
transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable
for transport or storage, respectively.
Create all connections while the device is o. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for
all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping hazards.
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Make sure that the installation complies with the standards and rules that apply
in your country. Always secure the device with a secondary safety attachment,
such as a safety cable or a safety chain.

4.1 Tips on handling speakers
We recommend you to set up the speakers in a way, that the sound signals can reach the audi‐
ence unobstructedly. It will often be helpful to mount the speakers on tripods. Thus, the sound
will be evenly spread with maximum range throughout the audience area.
Always use high grade cable 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 amplier. Always follow the technical specications of the speakers! 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 when you hear dis‐
tortion.

4.2 Hanging the speaker box
To hang the speaker box on special mounting devices (aka ‘ying’), the top of the box oers
built-in Aeroquip or y tracks. In these tracks safety eyelets (double studs) can be screwed or
latched. Check the secure connection of the safety eyelets with the box carefully, before you
use it in ‘ying mode’.
Using an additional loop on the back of the box, it is possible to tilt the box. This additional
loop must not solely be in charge to secure the entire suspended weight.
