[. . . ] Security regulations as stated in the EN 60065 (VDE 0860 / IEC 65) and the CSA E65 - 94 have to be obeyed when servicing the appliance. Use of a AC separator transformer is mandatory during maintenance while the appliance is opened, needs to be operated and is connected to the AC. Switch off the power before retrofitting any extensions, changing the AC voltage or the output voltage. The minimum distance between parts carrying AC voltage and any accessible metal piece (metal enclosure), respectively between the AC poles has to be 3 mm and needs to be minded at all times.

These systems are the culmination of EV's 75 years of experience in transducer design and over 50 years of experience in designing and building electronics. Please take time to consult this manual so that you can understand all the features built into your EV systems and full utilize all their performance capabilities. ELECTRO-VOICE® SxA360 Owners Manual 2 SxA360 Safety First When setting up, installing and using Electro-Voice® SxA speaker systems, there are a number of precautions that you should follow: · When Electro-Voice® SxA speakers are used for portable applications in which they will be stacked directly on the floor or mounted on a tripod stand, make sure that the floor or stage is solid and secure. · Electro-Voice® SxA speaker systems 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. · The low-frequency power amplifier delivers 350 watts continuous average power. · The high-frequency power amplifier delivers 150 watts continuous average power. · The line input utilizes Neutrik "combo" connectors, which will accept either ¼-inch or 3-pin XLRtype connectors. · The separate line output is 3-pin XLR-type balanced, low-impedance output that can be used with long cable runs. · The SxA360 two-way system is perfect for use as powered floor monitors. System Setup To get your SxA system into operation as quickly as possible, please observe the following steps and precautions. · Plug the 3-terminal Powercon ac cable into a grounded line receptacle. Extension cords can be used to lengthen the ac cable as necessary but make sure that they are 3-conductor 14 gauge or greater, and that are properly grounded to avoid electrical hazards and extraneous noise. · Be sure that the SxA system is plugged into an ac power source that is capable of supplying the correct voltage. If the line voltage drops too much, the built-in amplifiers won't be able to develop their rated power and sound quality will suffer. Under high signal conditions, the SxA amplifier section can pull 3 ­ 4 amps of current (120 volt models) (2 amps at 240 volts). That means that no more than 4-SxA systems should be plugged into a single 15 amp electrical service. [. . . ] The ¼- inch input is in the center of the XLR connector and can accept unbalanced or balanced lines (TRS ¼-inch). The line input level required to drive the unit to full power is from ­ 12 dBu to 0 dBu. The system's level control regulates the overall output level of the system. 5 ELECTRO-VOICE® SxA360 Owners Manual Using SxA360's as Floor Monitors · The SxA360 is perfect for use as a powered floor monitor. · The F200 adapters are necessary to convert the SxA360 into a monitor and are shipped with the speaker.
