IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1) Read these instructions.
2) Follow all instructions
3) Keep these instructions
4) Heed all warnings
5) Do not use the MATRIX-600 near water. Be extra cautious when moving the system during rain or while transporting the system over wet surfaces as water might splash on to the amplifier. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the system to rain or moisture.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Use in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
8) Do not use near heat sources such as radiators, stoves or other devices that may produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarization or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at the plug and at the point where it exits the MATRIX-600 amplifier.
11) Only use attachments / accessories recommended by B-52 Pro-Audio.
12) Use caution when transporting the system to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug the MATRIX-600 during lightning storms or when not in use.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the MATRIX-600 has been damaged in any way, such as the power-cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled into the cabinets, the unit has been exposed to moisture or rain, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15) The MATRIX-600 is not intended for outdoor fixed installations or in high moisture areas. Moisture can damage the speakers and can cause corrosion of electrical contacts. Keep speakers out of extended or intense direct sunlight. The speaker surfaces may fade and be damaged by long-term exposure to intense ultra-violent light.

Caution: Connect the power cable only after you have absolutely made sure that the local mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the device. If you connect to the wrong voltage, you may destroy the electronic components of the MATRIX-600 system.
See page 4 for a complete description of factory-default voltage settings.
Hearing damage, prolonged exposure to excessive SPL
B-52 Pro-Audio speakers, including the MATRIX-600, 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 recommended. Caution should be taken to avoid extended exposures to spl levels in excess of 85dB.
Amplifier Module Precautions
Do not attempt to service the MATRIX-600 by yourself. Refer all servicing to a B-52 Pro-Audio Authorized dealer. Service is required when the matrix-600 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-600 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-600 amplifier should be cleaned only with a dry cloth.
Cautions
1)Do not hang the speakers by yourself. You must have a professional and licensed contractor hang the speakers. Speakers not properly flown/hung can fall causing injury or in extreme cases, death.
2)B-52 Pro-Audio speakers, especially the MATRIX-600, can produce high-levels of energy. When placed on slippery surfaces such as polished wood or smooth tiles, the loudspeakers may move because of intense bass output. Precautions should be taken to ensure the speakers do not fall off of a stage or raised surface.
3)Do not block the air intake on the rear panel and air exit slots on the top (below the wooden handle). The Matrix-600 has a high power amplifier, which dissipates heat and needs unobstructed air circulation to cool down its heatsink.
4)Please turn the volume down prior to turning the system ON to prevent possible damage to the speakers.
5)If you are using an optional active subwoofer with the MATRIX-600, make sure all of the cables from the subwoofer are connected to the MATRIX-600, the subwoofer’s volume control(s) and the volume control of the MATRIX-600 are turned all the way down, before either unit is powered ON.
6)After connecting your source(s) to the MATRIX-600, make sure your MATRIX-600 and the signal sources have their volume controls turned all the way down before powering ON the MATRIX-600 to avoid turn ON thumps that could damage your speakers.
7)The MATRIX-600 should always be switched ON last, after you switch ON all connected devices and in turn switched OFF first when powering down your system.
