Product care and maintenance
To avoid malfunctions and premature degrading of specifications....
• Never expose the loudspeaker for long periods to direct sunlight.
• Never expose the loudspeaker to heat sources such as radiators
or other products that produce heat.
• Never expose the loudspeaker to excessive vibrations or
mechanical shocks
• Avoid operating and storing the enclosure in damp or dusty
places: this may lead to malfunctions and premature degrading
of specifications.
• Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquid are not
spilled into the enclosure.
In public event don't let people, musicians, technicians or anyone
put glasses, cups, ashtrays or cigarettes on the enclosure.
• Use a soft brush or a jet of air to clean the enclosure.
Do not use alcohol, solvents or detergents.
• Always leave the protective grille mounted on the enclosure.
• Take care of your connecting cables. Make sure that they are not
damaged, knotted or twisted.
• Do not force connectors.
• Before performing any connection, make certain that the power
amplifier or the powered mixer are switched off.

Passive loudspeaker systems
• Use only loudspeaker cables (unscreened) having suitable cross
section (at least 2 x 1 mm
Do not twist or sharply bend the cables and do not allow for knots
to be formed, because they may result in insulation damage.
• When using cables with jack plugs, make sure of using a sturdy
type, suitable for speaker use.
Do not use low quality connectors: they may easily lead to short
circuits or intermittent contacts.
• Connect the second system to the first one using one of the free
sockets. All sockets may be used for input or output.
Obviously, it is always possible, if needed, to connect the power
amplifier to the first speaker system using the jack sockets, and the
first speaker system to the second one using the Speakon
or vice-versa.
• PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE PARALLEL IMPEDANCE:
if two systems are parallel connected, the resulting load
impedance for the amplifier will be 4 Ohms, a value that is
within the allowed range for all power amplifiers and
powered mixers manufactured by Montarbo and by most
other manufacturers. For 3 parallel connected systems, the
resulting total impedance decreases to 2,7 Ohms, and for
4 system to 2 Ohms.
Some power amplifiers and powered mixers cannot operate
reliably with these low values of load impedance.
Always check the technical specifications of your amplifier or
powered mixer for the value of the minimum load impedance.
