User manual POLK AUDIO RTA 12C

[. . . ] WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this apparatus should not be exposed to rain or moisture and objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus. To completely disconnect this equipment from the mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the receptacle. The main plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable. WARNING: Listen Carefully Polk Audio loudspeakers and subwoofers are capable of playing at extremely high volume levels, which could cause serious or permanent hearing damage. [. . . ] Just ask your local state trooper if you are in doubt. Similarly, we recommend using amplifiers and receivers with rated power above the Power Handling limits of our speakers because having extra power available for short term peaks is conducive to better sound quality, maximum dynamic range and effortless high volume output. But we strongly urge you not to use the full power of your amplifier or receiver for daily listening. Loudspeakers can be damaged when an amplifier, regardless of its wattage, is made to play at higher listening levels than its power can clearly produce. Operation at this level can result in very high levels of audible distortion originating in the amplifier, which can add a harsh, gritty sound to your listening material. If you hear distortion-- turn the volume down or risk damaging your speakers. You can damage just about any speaker, regardless of power rating, if you drive an amplifier to or beyond the point of distortion. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE OR SERVICE If, after following the hookup directions, you experience difficulty, please doublecheck all wire connections.

CRADLE MOUNT FOR VM10/RTA 12C FIGURE 6a & 6b Note: The Cradle Mounts for both the VM10 and RTA 12C are designed to be used with either side facing forward. This ensures more flexibilty in locating the speaker and gives the greatest range of adjustment if you need to angle the speaker toward your listening area. Please Note: Using the side of the Cradle Mount with the shallow angle as the front allows you to tilt the speaker down at a greater angle toward your listening area. Please Note: Using the side of the Cradle Mount with the steeper angle as the front allows you to tilt the speaker up at a greater angle toward your listening area. Note: The binding posts for the VM30 Tower are located on the bottom of the loudspeaker. Carefully pry out the binding post plugs to expose banana plug holes.
