When setting up, installing and using the Electro-Voice
®
ZxA5 speaker system, there are a
number of precautions that you should follow:
· When Electro-Voice
®
ZxA5 speakers are used for portable applications in which they will be
positioned directly on the floor, make sure that the floor or stage is solid and secure.
· Electro-Voice
®
ZxA5 speakers include 1-3/8 inch stand mounts to allow mounting on tripod
stands.
Make sure to:
· Check the specifications of the speaker stand to be certain it is capable of supporting the weight
of the speaker.
· Check that the speaker stand is placed on a flat, stable surface and be sure to fully extend the
legs of the stand. Do not try to make the stand “taller” and compromise its structural integrity.
· Route cables and position the stand so that performers, production crew and audience members
will not trip over the stand or cables and pull the speaker system over. Secure cables with wire
ties or tape whenever possible.
· Do not attempt to suspend more than one speaker on a stand designed for a single speaker
· Unless you are confident that you can safely handle lifting the weight of the speaker onto the
stand, ask another person to help you place it.
· If you intend to hang or fly the ZxA5 system, only do so safely with the correct hardware and
accessories.
WARNING:
Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be
attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and
regulations of rigging objects overhead. Electro-Voice
®
strongly recommends that ZxA5
speakers be suspended taking into account all current national, federal, state and local
regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that ZxA5 speakers are safely
installed in accordance with all such regulations. If ZxA5 speakers are suspended,
Electro-Voice

strongly recommends that the system be inspected at least once a year.
If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken
immediately.
There are data sheets for each EV Suspension and Array Kit that should
also be consulted prior to suspending speakers.

does not recommend use of ZxA5 speakers outdoors without
protection from rain or in high moisture environments.

ZxA5 loudspeakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure
levels sufficient to cause permanent hearing damage to anyone within normal
coverage distance. Caution should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to sound
pressure levels exceeding 90 dB.
