pose this appliance to moisture or rain. Do not open case – no user
serviceable parts inside. Refer service to qualified service personnel.
This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence
of uninsulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosure – voltage that
may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock.
This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence
of externally accessible hazardous voltage. External wiring
connected to any terminal marked with this symbol must be a "ready
made cable" complying with the manufacturers recommendations, or
must be a wiring installed by instructed persons only.
This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to important
operating and maintenance instructions in the accompanying
literature. Read the manual.
This symbol, wherever it appears, tells you: Take care! Hot
surface! To prevent burns you must not touch.

General Notes on Safety for Loudspeaker
Systems
Mounting systems may only be used for those loudspeaker
systems authorized by the manufacturer and only with the mounting
accessories specified by the manufacturer in the installation
instructions. Read and heed the manufacturer's installation
instructions. The indicated load-bearing capacity cannot be
guaranteed and the manufacturer will not be liable for damages in
the event of improper installation or the use of unauthorized
mounting accessories.
The system's load-bearing capacity cannot be guaranteed and
the manufacturer will not be liable for damages in the event that
loudspeakers, mounting accessories, and connecting and attaching
components are modified in any way.
Components affecting safety may only be repaired by the manufac-
turer or authorized agents, otherwise the operating permit will be
voided.
Version 2.4 07/2015
Installation may be performed qualified personnel only, and
then only at pick-points with sufficient load-carrying capacity and in
compliance with local building regulations. Use only the mounting
hardware specified by the manufacturer in the installation
instructions (screws, anchors, etc.). Take all the precautions
necessary to ensure bolted connections and other threaded locking
devices will not loosen.
Fixed and portable installations (in this case, speakers and
mounting accessories) must be secured by two independent safeties
to prevent them from falling. Safeties must be able to catch
accessories or parts that are loose or may become loose. Ensure
compliance with the given national regulations when using
connecting, attaching, and rigging devices. Factor potential dynamic
forces (jerk) into the equation when determining the proper size and
load-bearing capacity of safeties.
Be sure to observe speaker stands' maximum load-bearing
capacity. Note that for reasons of design and construction, most
speaker stands are approved to bear centric loads only; that is, the
speakers' mass has to be precisely centered and balanced. Ensure
speaker stands are set up stably and securely. Take appropriate
added measures to secure speaker stands, for example when:
- the floor or ground surface does not provide a stable, secure base.
- they are extended to heights that impede stability.
- high wind pressure may be expected.
- there is the risk that they may be knocked over by people.
Special measures may become necessary as precautions against
unsafe audience behavior. Do not set up speaker stands in evacua-
tion routes and emergency exits. Ensure corridors are wide enough
and put proper barriers and markings in place when setting speaker
stands up in passageways. Mounting and dismounting are especially
hazardous tasks. Use aids suitable for this purpose. Observe the
given national regulations when doing so.
Wear proper protection (in particular, a helmet, gloves, and
safety shoes) and use only suitable means of ascent (ladders,
scaffolds, etc.) during installation. Compliance with this requirement
is the sole responsibility of the company performing the installation.
WARNING!
After installation, inspect the system comprised of the mounting
fixtures and loudspeakers to ensure it is properly secured.
The operator of loudspeaker systems (fixed or portable) must
regularly inspect or task a third party to regularly inspect all system
components in accordance with the given country's regulations and
have possible defects repaired immediately.
We also strongly recommend maintaining a logbook or the like to
document all inspections.
When installing speakers for longer lasting or permanent outdoor
operation, be sure to take into account the stability and load-
bearing capacity of platforms and surfaces; loads and forces exerted
by wind, snow, and ice; as well as thermal influences. Also be sure
to provide sufficient safety margins for the rigging points used for
flown systems. Observe the given national regulations when doing
so.
• Ask the manufacturer if your product is allowed for outdoor usage !
Professional loudspeaker systems can produce harmful
volume levels. Even prolonged exposure to seemingly harmless levels
(starting at about 95 dBA SPL) can cause permanent hearing
damage! Therefore we recommend that everyone who is exposed to
high volume levels produced by loudspeaker systems wears
professional hearing protection (earplugs or earmuffs).
