Safety Instructions - Vonyx TX-Serie Mode D'emploi

Congratulations to the purchase of our Vonyx speaker box.
Read the instructions thoroughly prior to using the unit.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Hearing damage:
•
Vonyx loudspeakers are easily generating high
sound pressure levels (SPL) sufficient to cause
permanent hearing damage to performers,
production crew and audience members. Care
should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to
SPL in excess of 85 dB.
Make sure that the amplifier is switched off
•
when the speaker box is connected or
disconnected.
The box must be installed by a qualified
•
technician who has knowledge of the
techniques.
Do not overload the box to avoid damage to the
•
speakers.
Connect the box only to a good quality
•
amplifier:
Direct voltage at the amplifier output will
damage the speakers
"Clipping" (overdrive) of the amplifier can
damage the woofer, tweeter and horn speaker
Do not overload the speakers to avoid damage
•
to the components.
Do not place an open fire (candle, etc.) on top
•
or next to the box - FIRE HAZARD
For indoor use only. If the box is used outdoors,
•
you need to make sure that no humidity can
enter the box.
Make sure that the box is placed on a stable,
•
solid surface.
The boxes can be stacked but do not put more
•
than 60kg weight on the box.
The boxes can be hung. Use only strong and
•
approved mounting material. The installation
should only be carried out by a qualified
technician who has knowledge of the
CONNECTIONS:
First of all, check the specifications of the amplifier if it is suitable for your speaker boxes. Pay particular
attention to the power rating and impedance.
Check if the amplifier is switched off. If yes, you can switch on the speakers. PLEASE NOTE! Watch the polarity
(+/-). Wires of the same colour must be connected to the same sign of every side i.e. the + of the amplifier must
be connected to the + of the speaker box. If the connections are inverted, the sound quality will diminish.
Only use high quality speaker cables that are suitable for the power and distance between the amplifier and the
speaker.
Connection of several speakers:
When a second speaker is connected in parallel (see fig.) the impedance will change from 8 Ohms to 4 Ohms.
Check if the amplifier can handle this. If more that two speakers are connected in parallel, the impedance will go
below 4 Ohms. Most of the amplifiers can't handle this!
Do not attempt to make any repairs yourself. This would invalid your warranty. Do not make any changes to the unit. This would
also invalid your warranty. The warranty is not applicable in case of accidents or damages caused by inappropriate use or
disrespect of the warnings contained in this manual. Vonyx cannot be held responsible for personal injuries caused by a

Use only stands which are designed to support
•
the weight of the speaker. Do not attempt to
place more than one speaker on a stand
designed for a single speaker.
Do not place liquids on the box and protect it
•
against humidity. Humidity can shorten the life
time considerably.
Only use suitable means of transportation if you
•
want to move the box – BEWARE OF YOUR
BACK!!
If the unit is damaged to an extent that internal
•
parts are visible, DO NOT connect the unit and
DO NOT switch it on. Contact your dealer or
Vonyx.
Never try to repair the unit yourself. It does not
•
contain any user serviceable parts. All repairs
must be carried out by a qualified technician.
Set the amplifier to the lowest volume prior to
•
switching it on.
Keep the unit out of the reach of children.
•
Protect your environment. Recycle packing material
whenever possible.
Do not throw a faulty unit into normal
household waste but bring it to a special
collection point. A large part of it can be
recycled.
