Safety
DANGER!
Danger for children
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and are not
within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard! Ensure that
children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the like) from the unit.
They could swallow the pieces and choke! Never let children unattended use
electrical devices.
WARNING!
Consequences of faulty mounting
Faulty mounting may lead to lethal injuries or property damage. Please ensure
that the norms and regulations valid in your country are always observed when
mounting and operating your product. In Germany: DGUV rule 17 „Veranstaltungs-
und Produktions‐stätten für szenische Darstellung“ (event and production sites
for stage presentations). Only expertly trained staff may mount speakers.
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by falling object s
Portable PA systems should be secured from falling using two independently
working devices, for example, safety ropes.
CAUTION!
Possible hearing damage
The device can produce volume levels that may cause temporary or permanent
hearing impairment. Over an extended period of time, even levels that seem to
be uncritical can cause hearing damage. Decrease the volume level immediately
if you experience ringing in your ears or hearing impairment. If this is not
possible, keep a greater distance or use sufficient ear protectors.
NOTICE!
Operating conditions
This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never
expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, heavy
dirt, and strong vibrations. Only operate the device within the ambient
conditions specified in the chapter
‘Technical specifications’ of this user manual. Avoid heavy temperature
fluctuations and do not switch the device on immediately after it was exposed
to temperature fluctuations (for example after transport at low outside
temperatures). Dust and dirt inside can damage the unit. When operated in
harmful ambient conditions (dust, smoke, nicotine, fog, etc.), the unit should
be maintained by qualified service personnel at regular intervals to prevent
overheating and other malfunction.
NOTICE!
Possible staining
The plasticizer contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly
react with the coating of your parquet, linoleum, laminate or PVC floor and
after some time cause permanent dark stains. In case of doubt, do not put the
rubber feet directly on the floor, but use felt-pad floor protectors or a
carpet.

Installation
Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the
unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the product against
vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original
packaging or your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage,
respectively.
Create all connections while the device is off. Use the shortest possible
high-quality cables for all connections. Take care when running the cables to
prevent tripping hazards.
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Make sure that the installation complies with the standards and rules that
apply in your country. Always secure the device with a secondary safety
attachment, such as a safety cable or a safety chain.
NOTICE!
Possible property damage by magnetic fields
Loudspeakers produce a static magnetic field. Therefore, maintain an
appropriate distance to devices that can be adversely affected or damaged by
an external magnetic field.
NOTICE!
Use of stands
When mounting the device onto a stand, ensure that the stand is in a safe and
stable position and that the weight of the device does not exceed the maximum
permissible load capacity of the stand.
Tips on handling speakers
We recommend you to set up the speakers in a way, that the sound signals can
reach the audience unobstructed. It will often be helpful to mount the
speakers on tripods. Thus, the sound will be evenly spread with maximum range
throughout the audience area.
Always use high grade cable to connect your equipment. Otherwise you won’t
reach maximum sound quality.
For optimum results both impedance and power handling of the speakers must
match the requirements of the amplifier. Always follow the technical
specifications of the speakers! The overall impedance of the connected
loudspeakers must not decreed the minimum output impedance of the amp. The
amps max. RMS output power should be 50 % above the power handling capacity of
the connected speakers.
If you notice distortion during operation, either the amp or the speaker is
overloaded. This may permanently damage the amp or the speaker. Always reduce
the volume when you hear distortion.
Connections
NL4 mounting connectors for speaker connections
Two NL4 connections wired in parallel on the rear panel (Power Twist)
- One additional NL4 connection is located on the top side and one on the bottom side of the housing.
- Find more information about the wiring of the NL4 connections on the rear panel.
