some time to review the following points concerning safe use of the NEXT LA122/LA122W
line-array element.
DANGER – HEARING DAMAGE
LA122 line-array systems are capable of producing extremely high sound
pressure levels and should be used with care. Hearing loss is cumulative and can result from
levels above 90dB if people are exposed for a long period. Never stand close to loudspeakers
driven at high levels.
Ground Stacking
Always ensure that the floor or structure where the stack will be placed is even
and can withstand the weight of the complete stack. Do not stack speakers too high,
especially outdoors where winds could topple the stack. Place cables in a way that they do
not present a trip hazard. Do not place any objects on top of the stack, they can fall
accidentally and cause injuries. Do not attempt to move the enclosures while connected. Try
not to operate the LA122/LA122W under heavy rain or moisture, it is weather-resistant but
not completely "weather-proof". Also do not expose the systems to extreme heat or cold
conditions to prevent component damage.
