Safety First

When setting up, installing and using Electro-Voice®SxA speaker systems, there are a number of precautions that you should follow:

·When Electro-Voice®SxA speakers are used for portable applications in which they will be stacked directly on the floor or mounted on a tripod stand, make sure that the floor or stage is solid and secure.

·Electro-Voice®SxA speaker systems include 1 3/8-inch stand mounts to allow mounting on tripod stands.

Make sure to:

·Check the specifications of the speaker stand to be certain it is capable of supporting the weight of the speaker.

·Check that the speaker stand is placed on a flat, stable surface and be sure to fully extend the legs of the stand. Do not try to make the stand “taller” and compromise its structural integrity.

·Route cables and position the stand so that performers, production crew and audience members will not trip over the stand or cables and pull the speaker system over. Secure cables with wire ties or tape whenever possible.

·Do not attempt to suspend more than one speaker on a stand designed for a single speaker.

·Unless you are confident that you can safely handle lifting the weight of the speaker onto the stand, ask another person to help you place it.

·After the system is in operation for a few minutes, the heat sink will become warm to the touch and can become quite hot after extended high-level operation. Avoid touching the heat sink fins to prevent burns. When installing the system, use care to ensure that there is at least two inches of space behind the heatsink to allow free circulation of air.

·If you intended to hang or fly the SxA two-way systems, please do so safely with the correct hardware and accessories.

WARNING: Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of rigging objects overhead. Electro-Voice®strongly recommends that SxA

speakers be suspended taking into account all current national, federal, state and local regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that SxA speakers are safely installed in accordance with all such regulations. If SxA speakers are suspended, Electro-Voice®strongly recommends that the system be inspected at least once a year. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken immediately. Please consult our manual entitled Suspending System 200 Loudspeakers, and the SK1 data sheet, which details the various hardware kits that are available to safely suspend SxA speakers and how each kit should be used. There are also data sheets for each EV hanging hardware part that should also be consulted prior to suspending speakers.

·Electro-Voice®does not recommend use of SxA speakers outdoors or in high moisture environments. Avoid exposing SxA speakers to direct moisture and or high humidity that can cause corrosion of electrical contacts and problems with loudspeaker cones and surrounds.

·Electro-Voice®SxA loudspeakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure levels sufficient to cause permanent hearing damage to anyone within normal coverage distance. Caution should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels exceeding 90 dB.
