Crest Audio LQ 10P user manual Operating Instructions

CAUTIONS

The unit must be disconnected from the AC power source before any work is done on it. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

The heat sink on the back plate can become hot to the touch. Do not block or cover the heat sink from ventilation.

DO NOT connect the inputs of the LQ10P to the output of a power amplifier; the inputs are meant to be driven from a line level strength signal.

DO NOT remove the protective metal grille.

DO NOT use the INPUT/OUTPUT jacks as mixers by trying to run more than one signal source at a time into them.The INPUT/OUTPUT jacks (5) are all hard-wired together to allow use of any of the connector types as an input and to allow a further send or “daisy- chaining” of the input signal to some other audio device (such as another LQ 10P).

Attempting to run two different signals directly into the LQ 10P could damage the outputs of the source units. Use a mixer to combine two or more signals into a single signal sent to the LQ 10P input.

WARNING: The LQ 10P is extremely efficient and powerful! This sound system can permanently damage hearing! Use extreme care setting the overall maximum loudness.

The apparent sound level of the LQ 10P can be deceiving due to its clear, clean sound output. The lack of distortion or obvious distress can make the sound level seem much lower than it actually is.This system is capable of SPLs in excess of 120 dB at 1 meter from the speaker!
