Before you begin
This manual covers the CVE-Series active speakers: the CVE-10, CVE-12, and CVE-15 (referred to as "tops") and the CVE-
18s (referred to as a "sub"). These speakers are designed for portable applications (such as being mounted on a tripod
stand or pole mount or stacked directly on a floor, stage, or stable platform) and fixed installations (such as being
mounted using the wall/ceiling mount accessory shown on Page 17). These speakers are not intended for fixed
installation in high-moisture or outdoor environments, as moisture can cause corrosion of electrical contacts and
damage the speaker cone or surround. Cerwin-Vega does not support suspension of the subwoofer model covered in
this manual.
Cerwin-Vega speakers can generate considerable vibrational energy. When placed on a slippery surface such as polished
wood or linoleum, the speaker may move due to its own mechanical vibration. Precautions should be taken to assure that
the speaker does not fall off a stage or table when in operation.
The CVE-18s subwoofer includes a receptacle cup to allow mounting of a satellite speaker using a standard speaker pole
shaft. When using a standard speaker pole shaft, be sure to observe the following precautions:

There are many types of pole stands and pole shafts available. Please refer to qualified service personnel from
the pole stand and pole shaft manufacturers for installation service. Improper use of accessories or inappropriate
installation could present a hazard.

Check the speaker pole shaft specification to be certain it is designed to support the weight of the speaker.

Observe all safety precautions specified by the speaker pole shaft manufacturer.

Always verify that the subwoofer is placed on a surface that is flat, level, and stable.

Route cables so that they will not be tripping hazards.

Always be cautious in windy outdoor conditions, as the stability of the entire system may be compromised.
