8. Set-Up
When selecting the set-up site, observe that direct sunlight, vibration, dust, heat, cold and moisture must
be avoided. There also must not be any strong transformers in the device's proximity.
Ensure sufficient ventilation when setting up the device with other equipment. Keep a sufficient distance
from heat sources. Do not place the PA speaker set directly next to heat sources, e.g. radiators. Do not
point any strong spotlights or light sources towards the device. This may cause overheating (danger of
fire!).
Heat dissipation from the device must not be obstructed. Do not cover the ventilation openings or cooling
fins of the device. Air circulation must not be obstructed by objects such as magazines, tablecloths, curtains
or similar. This prevents heat dissipation from the device and may lead to overheating (danger of fire!).
Do not drill or screw any additional screws into the casing. This may expose dangerous voltage to touch.
Make sure that the connection cables are not squeezed or damaged by sharp edges. Always place cables
so that no one can trip over them or be caught in them. Danger of injury!
The cables must be sufficiently long. Do not put any mechanic strain on them. This may damage the cables
or device. There is a risk of dangerous electric shock.
Do not set up your PA speaker set right next to screens, such as TVs or computer screens. The magnetic
fields generated by the speakers may distort the image.
Only operate the PA speaker set on a sturdy surface that is not sensitive to high temperatures.
When setting up the satellite speakers, make sure that they are on a stable footing and that you find a
correspondingly stable set-up surface. Serious injury to persons can be caused if the speakers fall down.
It is not permitted to suspend the speakers from the carrying handles or any other fittings.
If the satellite speakers are set up on stands, they must be accordingly stable and suitable for the speaker
load.
• Set up the subwoofer so that the sound exit points at the audience.
• Set up the satellite speakers as well. They can also be equipped with speaker stands. At the top of the subwoofer,
there is a speaker flange that can take up a spacer rod for a satellite speaker.
• Subwoofers and satellite speakers should be set up in a line opposite from the audience if possible. This avoids
sound problems.
