• The loudspeaker grille is fixed and removing it may cause damage.
• Indoor use only.
Rigging and Electrical Safety
DANGER: Installation of loudspeakers should only be performed by
trained and qualified personnel. It is strongly recommended that a
licensed and certified professional structural engineer approve the
mounting design. Severe injury may occur if these products are improperly
installed! All electrical connections must conform to applicable city, county,
state, and national (NEC) electrical codes.
DANGER: It is possible to experience severe electrical shock from a
power amplifier. Always make sure that all power amplifiers are in the
"OFF" position and unplugged from an AC Mains supply before
performing electrical work.
IMPORTANT: All electrical installation connections for loudspeaker
lines are subject to all applicable governmental building and fire
codes. The selection of appropriate electrical hardware to interface
with the loudspeaker lies solely with the installation professional. Biamp
recommends that an appropriately licensed engineer, electrician, or other
qualified professional identify and select the appropriate conduit, fittings, wire,
etc. for the installation.
DANGER: The output power capabilities of audio amplifiers present a
danger to installers. To minimize the risk of electric shock from
loudspeaker connecting cables, confirm that the power amplifiers are
turned "off" before connecting loudspeaker cable(s) to the loudspeaker or
amplifier. Always follow local electrical codes and proper electrical safety
procedures.

WARNING: After wiring the amplifier(s) to the loudspeaker(s), first
power-up all devices that are upstream of the amplifier, such as
mixers, equalizers, compressor/limiters, etc., before powering-up the
amplifier. This is to avoid passing any clicks or pops that may originate in the
upstream devices to the loudspeakers. The amplifier should initially be
powered-up with its gain controls turned all the way down. After making sure
that a continuous signal is present, such as a CD playing, slowly raise the level
of the gain controls to establish that the wiring has been installed correctly.
Only then should the loudspeaker be operated at normal output levels.
Wiring and Electrical Safety
The designer must account and compensate for cable losses between the
amplifier and the loudspeaker system. Refer to this
for more information on cable loss calculations. Please contact the Customer
Support for additional assistance (email: support@biamp.com)
Wire the loudspeaker. Terminate per your local electrical code or requirements.
