Before you begin

This manual covers the CVXL-Series active speakers: the CVXL-112, CVXL-115, and CVXL-215 (referred to as "tops") and
the CVXL-118s and CVXL-218s (referred to as a "subs"). 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 "flown" or suspended using appropriate wall/ceiling mounting hardware). 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 models 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 CVXL-118s and CVXL-218s subwoofers include 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.
