Hearing damage, prolonged exposure to excessive SPL

B-52 Pro-Audio speakers, including the MATRIX-200, are capable of producing sound pressure levels (SPL) sufficient to cause permanent hearing damage to performers, production crews or people in the audience. Hearing protection devices such as ear-plugs are recommend- ed. Caution should be taken to avoid extended exposures to SPL levels in excess of 85 dB.

Amplifier Module Precautions

Do not attempt to service the MATRIX-200 by yourself. Refer all servicing to a B-52 Pro-Audio Authorized dealer. Service is required when the MATRIX-200 amplifier has been exposed to liquids or suffered damage. Do not operate the unit if liquid has spilled into the amplifier. Immediately remove the power cord from AC mains power if such an event should occur.

WARNING – Shock Hazard

To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture. Do not operate your MATRIX-200 near a pool or other standing water. Make sure all blades on the polarized power plug are fully inserted into the power source. Ensure the power cord is not stretched, pinched or otherwise abused. Ensure the power cord is routed to avoid foot traffic. Your MATRIX-200 amplifier should be cleaned only with a dry cloth.

Cautions

1)When placed on slick, smooth or slippery surfaces, vibrating speakers may move from their original location. Precautions should be taken to insure the system does not fall off of a raised stage or platform.

2)Please turn the volume down prior to turning the system on to prevent possible damage to the speakers.

3)If you are using an optional active subwoofer with the MATRIX-200, be sure all cabling is connected to the MATRIX-200 from the subwoofer, the subwoofer's volume control(s), and the volume control of the MATRIX-200 are turned all the way down, before either unit is powered on.

4)After connecting your source(s) to the MATRIX-200, make sure your MATRIX-200 and signal sources have their volume controls turned

all the way down before powering on the MATRIX-200 to avoid turn on thumps that could damage your speakers.
