4 SAFETY FIRST
It is important that loudspeaker systems are used in a safe manner. Please
take some time to review the following points concerning safe use of
Blackline Series loudspeakers.
Professional loudspeakers are capable of producing extremely high sound
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 a high level.
Tripod Mounting
The F8 and F10 incorporate a pole mounting socket to facilitate mounting
on tripod stands. When using stands, the following precautions are
advised:
Ensure that the stand will support the weight of the speaker by checking
the stand manufacturers rating.
Make sure that the stand is placed on a level surface and that its legs are
fully extended.
Do not place more than one speaker on each stand.
Run cables so that they do not present a trip hazard which could pull the
speaker over.
When used outdoors in the wind, it may be necessary to add some weight
to the base of the stand.
When using a pole mount with a sub-bass system, observe similar
precautions.
Stacking
Ensure that the floor or stage is level and solid.
Do not stack speakers too high outdoors where winds could topple the
stack.
Be aware that speakers producing very high power levels can move or
creep. To avoid this, place friction material between the floor and speaker
and between each speaker.
Rigging and Suspension
WARNING: Suspending the system should only be done by qualified
personnel following safe rigging practices. Secure fixings to the building
structure are vital. Seek help from architects, structural engineers or other
specialists if in any doubt.
Blackline Series enclosures are designed for portable applications, but can
be suspended singly by means of the threaded inserts provided or by
