∆Fender® loudspeaker systems are capable of producing very high sound pressure levels which may cause temporary or permanent hearing damage. Use care when setting and adjusting volume levels during use.

General Precautions:

∆Always carefully route speaker cables to avoid any chance that someone could trip over them. Tripping over the cables attached to the speaker can cause the speaker to be knocked over, potentially leading to personal injury and damaged equipment.

∆Due to the high acoustical energy generated by the speakers, they may have a tendency to move across smooth, polished, or slippery surfaces. Care should be taken to ensure the speakers do not fall off of the edge of such surfaces (i.e. stages, tables, etc.).

∆Do not insert or drop anything into the ACE Speaker enclosure’s bass ports (located on either side of the high frequency horn).

When stacking ACE loudspeakers:

∆Do not stack more than two units high.

∆Stacked speakers must be securely strapped or tied together and anchored to the stage to prevent toppling.

∆Always ensure that the loudspeakers are placed on a stable surface. The surface must be rigid, flat, and level.

∆Always verify that stacked speakers are aligned properly. The feet of the upper speaker must fully interlock with the receptacles of the lower speaker.

∆Position the loudspeakers in a location where they will not be easily tipped over by audience members, performers, or the production crew.

∆Do not allow anyone to lean on or climb on speakers.

∆Children should not be allowed near stacked speakers.

∆When used outdoors, be aware of winds that could tip a speaker stack over.

When mounting ACE loudspeakers on speaker stands:

∆Always ensure that the stand is placed on a stable surface. The surface should be rigid, flat, and level.

∆The legs of tripod style speaker stands must be fully extended, and the stand should be positioned so that its legs do not pose a trip hazard.

∆Read and observe all safety precautions provided by the stand manufacturer.

∆Check the specifications of the speaker stand to verify its weight limits. Ensure that it is designed to support the weight of the speaker. Never mount more speakers on a stand designed for only a single speaker.

∆In outdoor applications, additional precautions should be taken to ensure stability. Sandbags placed on the base of the stand may improve stability.
