Caution! Please note the following instructions pertaining to the “flying” operation of your speaker cabinet:

The operation of your speaker cabinet as part of a flown system is at your own risk! Make sure that speaker cabinets are set up and “flown” by qualified personnel only, using dedicated equipment and the original parts and components delivered with the unit. Be sure to observe the local safety regulations applicable in your country. BEHRINGER company (BEHRINGER Spezielle Studiotechnik GmbH including the BEHRINGER companies listed on the enclosed “Service Information” sheet) assumes no liability for any damage or personal injury resulting from improper use or operation of the product!

Check the speaker cabinet for damages before using it as part of a flown system. If you detect any cracks, deformations, corrosion, defective or missing parts, the speaker cabinet may not be used! If the hanging fixtures show any signs of damage, they must be replaced immediately!

The speaker cabinet was designed exclusively to carry its own weight when operated as part of a flown system. Please note that it is not permitted to attach any additional weights or charges to the speaker cabinet!

Make sure that the speaker cabinet is not exposed to moisture during outdoor use, and that it cannot be “shaken” by gusts of wind. Check the floor:

Always check the floor for stability before you set up the speaker cabinet. Vibrating floors (e.g. elements/components on the stage) do not provide reliable support for speaker stacks. So, always set up your speakers on a solid and even support.

Make sure that speaker cabinets are set up properly:

Set up your speaker cabinet at a distance to dance floors or other audience areas, so as to avoid that somebody can knock over a speaker stack.
