12. USING AMPLIFIERS – In order to avoid damage to drivers and other equipment, it is advisable to establish
and follow a routine for powering up and powering down a sound system. With all system components
connected, turn on source equipment (mixers, signal processors, record and playback units, etc.) BEFORE
powering up amplifiers. Transient voltages from powering up source equipment can damage speakers
if amplifiers are already turned on. Make sure that amplifier volumes are set to their minimum settings
and power up any system amplifiers LAST. It is recommended that all system components be allowed to
stabilize for several seconds before any source signals are introduced or level setting adjustments are made.
Similarly, when shutting systems down, turn all amplifiers off first, before powering down any other system
components.
13. CABLES – Do not use shielded or microphone cables for connection between amplifiers and speakers. Use
only approved speaker cables with proper connectors.
14. RIGGING – SUSPENDING – MOUNTING – Rigging, suspending and mounting of speaker systems can
expose members of the public to serious health risks and even death. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES

NATIONAL AUTHORITIES. ALL RELEVANT SAFETY REGULATIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED. IF YOU ARE
NOT PROPERLY QUALIFIED OR DO NOT KNOW OF PERTINENT REGULATIONS, CONSULT QUALIFIED

15. CAUTION – Professional sound reinforcement systems are capable of generating very high sound pressure
levels. Take care with placement and operation to avoid exposure to excessive volume levels. Permanent
hearing damage can result when operated to extreme levels.
