13. 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.
14. CABLES – Do not use shielded or microphone cables for connection between amplifiers and
speakers. Use only approved speaker cables with proper connectors.
15. RIGGING – SUSPENDING – MOUNTING – Rigging, suspending and mounting of speaker
systems can expose members of the public to serious health risks and even death. UNDER

OR DO NOT KNOW OF PERTINENT REGULATIONS, CONSULT QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
FOR ADVICE.
16. 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.
