Loudspeaker Owner’s Manual
Congratulations on the purchase of your new EAW loudspeaker. You now
own one of the finest professional audio products available - the result of
exceptional engineering and meticulous craftsmanship. Please read these
instructions to get the maximum performance from your new loudspeaker.
Section 1 Read This First
1.1 Rigging Precautions
Prior to suspending any EAW loudspeaker enclosures, it is essential that the user be familiar
with the load ratings, rigging techniques, and special safety considerations appropriate for this
use. Use only the mounting/rigging points on the loudspeaker enclosure intended for this
purpose. The user must determine the load requirements, dynamic loading and any other
contributing factors affecting the flown loudspeakers. The user must determine the proper
safety factor for specific applications and the required load rating of the connection to
structure. EAW strongly recommends that all rigging be done by qualified personnel in
accordance with and in compliance with all federal, state and local regulations, relative to
properly securing suspended loads.
NOTICE: The user assumes liability for proper design, installation and use of rigging systems.
EAW strongly recommends the following rigging system practices:
1. Documentation: Thoroughly document the rigging design with detailed drawings and
parts lists.
2. Analysis: Have a licensed structural engineer, registered architect or other qualified
professional review and approve the rigging design before its implementation.
3. Installation: Have a qualified professional rigger install and inspect the rigging system.
DANGER: Loudspeakers should be suspended only by persons with a knowledge of proper
hardware and rigging techniques. When stacking or pole-mounting loudspeakers, be sure they
are stabilized and secured from falling over or being accidentally pushed over. Failure to follow
these precautions may result in damage to the equipment, personal injury or death.
Section 2 Unpacking
2.1 Shipping Damage
You should have visually inspected the outside of the shipping carton and noted any damage on
the shipping bill you signed. After unpacking, if you find concealed damage to the loudspeaker,
save the packing materials for the carrier’s inspection, notify the carrier immediately and file a
shipping damage claim. Although EAW will help in any way possible, it is always the responsibility of
the receiving party to file any shipping damage claim. The carrier will help prepare and file this claim.
