Please take time to consult this manual to understand all the features built into your Electro-Voice system and fully utilize its performance capabilities. Clear, powerful and musical Electro-Voice loudspeakers command the stage at high-profile venues and major events worldwide. · 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.
