Suspension

Warning!
Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals
who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects
overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends all loudspeakers be suspended taking into
account all current national, federal, state, and local laws and regulations. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance
!
with all such requirements. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly
recommends the system be inspected at least once per year or as laws and regulations
require. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken
immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall, ceiling, or structure is capable
of supporting all objects suspended overhead. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker
not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.

If an Electro-Voice loudspeaker is used outdoors on a sunny day, place the
loudspeaker in a shaded or covered area. The loudspeaker amplifiers have
!
protection circuits that temporarily shut the loudspeaker off when extremely
high temperatures are reached. This can happen on hot days when the
loudspeaker is in direct sunlight.
Do not use Electro-Voice loudspeakers in an environment where temperatures
are below 0°C (32°F) or exceed +40°C (104°F).
!
Never expose an Electro-Voice loudspeaker to rain, water, or high moisture.
!
Electro-Voice loudspeakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure
levels sufficient to cause permanent hearing damage to anyone within normal
!
coverage distance. Caution should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to
sound pressure levels exceeding 90 dB.
