Information to the user

Alteration or modifications carried out without appropriate authorisation may invalidate the user’s right to operate the equipment.

It is always good practice to switch off equipment before connecting or disconnecting signal leads. This will prevent unpleasant and loud noises coming from the loudspeakers and avoid the risk of damage to equipment.

This equipment is double insulated and does not need a safety earth. It is important, though, that any equipment connected to it is earthed according to the manufacturers’ instructions. This becomes more important as the number of units which are connected together increases.

Noise Pollution

Please be aware that very high sound pressure levels can cause permanent damage to your hearing and also severe annoyance to neighbours.
