Unpacking and Inspection

Visually inspect the outside of the shipping carton and check for any damage. After unpacking, if you find concealed damage to the loudspeaker, save the packing materials for the carrier’s inspection, notify the carrier immediately, and file a shipping damage claim. Although EAW Commercial will help in any way possible, it is always the responsibility of the receiving party to file any shipping damage claim. The carrier will help prepare and file this claim.

Mounting Precautions

The mounting bracket provided can be used for wall mounting the loudspeaker.

WARNING: Installation should only be done by an experienced technician. Improper installation may result in damage to the equipment, injury or death. Make sure that the loudspeaker is installed in a stable and secure way in order to avoid any conditions that may be dangerous for persons or structures:

•Check to make sure that the support surface (e.g., wall, etc.) has the necessary mechanical characteristics to support the weight of the loudspeaker without the danger of it falling.

•Always use support elements suitable for the material of the wall that will support the loudspeaker (e.g., screw anchors for bricks, screw anchors for cement, etc.). Due to various construction methods and materials used today, the hardware for securing the bracket to the mounting surface is not supplied. Consult a building professional for the proper mounting hardware before mounting the bracket.

•Before suspending the loudspeaker, carefully check all the components to be used to make sure there is no damage, deformation, corrosion and/or missing or damaged parts that could reduce the safety of the installation.

•Consult a professional rigger or structural engineer prior to suspending loudspeakers from a structure not intended for that use. Always know the working load limit of the structure supporting the loudspeaker. Always make sure that the rigging hardware minimum rating is at least five times the actual load.

•Avoid installing the loudspeaker in places exposed to harsh weather conditions.
