1.5 Warranty statement
Safety instructions – read this first
1. Read these instructions. 2. Keep these instructions. 3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions. 5. Do not use this apparatus near water. 6. Clean
only with a dry cloth. 7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. 8. Do not install near any
heat source such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other such apparatus
that produce heat. 9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type
plug. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The
third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit
into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet. 10. Protect power cords from being walked on or pinched particularly
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit the
apparatus. 11. Only use attachments and accessories specified by Void
Acoustics. 12. Only use with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is
used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over. 13. Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused
for long periods of time. 14. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. Since the mains power supply cord attachment plug is used to disconnect
the device, the plug should always be easily accessible. 16. Void loudspeakers
can produce sound levels capable of causing permanent hearing damage from
prolonged exposure. The higher the sound level, the less exposure needed to
cause such damage. Avoid prolonged exposure to the high sound levels from the
loudspeaker.

Cable and Wiring
4.1 Electrical safety
To avoid electrical hazards please note the following:
· Do not access the inside of any electrical equipment. Refer servicing to
Voidapproved service agents.
4.2 Cable considerations for fixed installations
We recommend specifying installation-grade Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
cables for permanent installations. The cables should use Oxygen Free Copper
(OFC) of grade C11000 or above. Cables for permanent installations should be
compliant with the following standards:
· IEC 60332.1 Fire retardancy of a single cable · IEC 60332.3C Fire retardancy
of bunched cables · IEC 60754.1 Amount of Halogen Gas Emissions · IEC 60754.2
Degree of acidity of released gases · IEC 61034.2 Measurement of smoke
density.
We suggest using the following maximum copper cable lengths to keep level
losses below 0.6 dB.
Metric mm2 2.50 mm2 4.00 mm2
