The Knox Gear Luxor Linear Array PA System is not intended for use in high
moisture environments. Moisture can damage the speaker cone and surround and
cause corrosion of electrical contacts and metal parts. Avoid exposing the
speakers to direct moisture. Keep speakers out of extended or intense direct
sunlight. The driver suspension will prematurely dry out and finished surfaces
may be degraded by long-term exposure to intense ultraviolet (UV) light.
The Knox Gear Luxor Linear Array PA System can generate considerable energy.
When placed on a slippery surface such as polished wood or linoleum, the
speaker may move due to its acoustical energy output. Precautions should be
taken to assure that the speaker does not fall off a stage or table on which
it is placed. Hearing Damage, Prolonged Exposure to Excessive SPL The Knox
Gear Luxor Linear Array PA System can generate sound pressure levels (SPL)
strong enough to cause permanent hearing damage. Caution should be taken to
avoid prolonged exposure to SPL in excess of 90dB.
CLEANING & CARE
Knox Gear Luxor Linear Array PA System may be cleaned with a dry cloth. Take care not to get moisture inside the device. Ensure that the system is unplugged from the outlet before cleaning. This system contains potentially lethal voltages. To prevent electric shock or hazard, do not remove chassis, mixer module, or AC input covers. Refer all service to qualified service personnel.
