Before you begin

The Cerwin-Vega! P-Series active speakers covered by this manual are designed for portable applications in which the speakers will be stacked directly on a floor, stage, stable platform, or mounted on a tripod stand or pole-mount. Cerwin- Vega! does not support suspension of the subwoofer models covered by this manual nor are these models intended for fixed installation in outdoor or high moisture environments. Moisture can damage the speaker cone or surround and cause corrosion of electrical contacts so avoid exposing the speakers to direct moisture.

Cerwin-Vega! speakers can generate considerable energy. When placed on a slippery surface such as polished wood or linoleum, the speaker may move due to its own mechanical vibration. Precautions should be taken to assure that the speaker does not fall off a stage or table on which it is placed.

Some Cerwin-Vega! speakers include a receptacle cup to allow mounting of a satellite speaker on top of the subwoofer using a standard speaker pole shaft. When using a standard speaker pole shaft, be sure to observe the following precautions:

∙CAUTION: There are a wide variety of pole stands and pole shaft available in the market. Please refer to qualified service personnel from the pole stands and pole shaft manufacturer for installation service. Improper use of accessory and inappropriate installation will present a tripping hazard.

∙Check the speaker pole shaft specification to be certain it is designed to support the weight of the speakers.

∙Observe all safety precautions specified by the speaker pole shaft manufacturer.

∙Always verify that the subwoofer is placed on a flat, level, and stable surface.

∙Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip over them, toppling the speaker.

∙Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions as the stability of the entire system may be compromised.
