an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert you to the
presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within
the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle
is intended to alert you to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the product.

PORTABLE CART WARNING
INTRODUCTION
Proficient's PS12, PS10 and PS8 Powered Subwoofers add accurate bass to any audio system, and are designed to work in conjunction with your other audio
components. The PS12 / PS10 / PS8 can be connected to any surround sound receiver that has a subwoofer output or any receiver that has a built-in preamplifier
outputs.
PLACEMENT
For optimal performance, the PS12 / PS10 / PS8 should be placed in a corner along the same wall as the front speakers. The units are not shielded, so do not
place them too close to video devices. When choosing a place for the PS12 / PS10 / PS8, please keep the following in mind:
DO
• Place the PS12 / PS10 / PS8 with its feet resting on a solid flat level surface.
• Place the PS12 / PS10 / PS8 in a well-vented area to provide proper cooling. In areas that lack proper ventilation, such as tight cabinets or racks, it may be
necessary to install small fans to create air movement.
DON'T
• Obstruct the driver or ports of the PS12 / PS10 / PS8 as that will hinder performance.
• Place the PS12 / PS10 / PS8 in any position other than horizontal with the feet down. Never place on its side or resting on the back where the terminals
are located.
• Place the PS12 / PS10 / PS8 near heat sources or in an area that it would be exposed to moisture.
