Quick Start
When mounting a speaker onto any stand, always ensure that the stand is on a flat, level
sur-face, with the legs fully extended. Be sure to check that the maximum load weight for the
stands is greater than the weight of the ARRAY SYSTEMS loudspeaker. Never use a stand with a
maximum load weight lower than the speaker. Do not attempt to mout more than one speaker
on a stand at one time.
The ARRAY SYSTEMS loudspeakers are heavy. It is recommended that a second person to help
place the cabinet on a stand.
When the speaker is placed on a stand, always check the integrity and center of gravity of the
system If the speaker can be tipped easily, or the pole is swaying, it is recommended that you
lower the height of the stand. Position the stand and route cables so that the performers and the
audience cannot tip over or trip on the system.
