to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These
precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Read these instructions.
• Keep these instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions, particularly those pertaining to rigging,
mounting, hanging and electrical connections.
• This professional device needs to be installed by qualified
personnel only. As improper installation may cause the unit to
fall, resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.
• Take care of the loudspeaker wires; they should be free of
damage. Damaged loudspeaker wires may result in poor sound
quality, in damaged amplifiers, injury and/or electrical shock.
• No mains power shall be connected to the loudspeaker, doing
so will damage the loudspeaker, and increase the risk of fire.
• Respect power rating, to prevent damaged loudspeakers, and
risk of fire.
• Do not open the loudspeaker or attempt to disassemble the
internal parts or modify them in any way. If the loudspeaker
appears to be malfunctioning (no sound or distorted sound),
if you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from the unit,
discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified
CM20DTS / CM30DTD / CM60DTD
personnel.
• Use cables of the right gauge, especially for long runs or high
power systems.
• Use cables with clear colour indication and maintain polarity
throughout the whole system.
• Avoid loud feedback from microphones; this can damage your
loudspeaker.
• Clean only with dry cloth.
• Avoid touching the unit’s sharp metal edge to prevent injury.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Only use attachments/accessories that are specified and
approved by the manufacturer.
• Install the loudspeaker in a location that can structurally
support the weight of the unit and its mounting hardware.
• Tighten all speaker clamps securely. Doing otherwise may result
in the unit falling down and causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
• Do not hold the tweeter as a handle to carry the unit; this can
damage your loudspeaker.
• Always attach a safety cable to both seismic safety tabs to
secure the loudspeaker to the building structure. Please, be
guided by applicable building codes here. Otherwise the unit
could fall down, resulting in personal injury or even death.
• Use only industry-accepted mounting tools and methods.

Consignes de sécurité importantes
Veuillez lire attentivement ce manuel avant de mettre l’appareil
en service et conservez-le pour référence ultérieure. Respectez à
tout moment les consignes énumérées ci-dessous afin d’éviter de
sérieuses lésions ou même le décès suite à un choc électrique, à un
court-circuit, à des dégâts, à un incendie ou à d’autres dangers. Ces
consignes comprennent, sans y être limitées, les suivantes :
• Lisez les présentes consignes.
• Conservez ces consignes.
• Tenez compte de tous les avertissements.
• Respectez toutes les consignes, en particulier celles qui ont trait
au gréement, au montage, à la suspension et aux connexions
électriques.
• Ce matériel professionnel doit être installé par du personnel
qualifié uniquement, étant donné qu’une installation défaillante
peut résulter dans la chute de l’objet, ce qui peut causer des
lésions corporelles et/ou des dégâts matériels.
• Prenez soin des câbles du haut-parleur, ils ne peuvent
aucunement être endommagés. Les câbles de haut-parleurs
endommagés peuvent donner lieu à une mauvaise qualité
sonore, à des dégâts aux amplificateurs, à des lésions et/ou à
des chocs électriques.
• Il ne faut pas connecter les haut-parleurs au réseau électrique,
cela peut endommager le haut-parleur et augmenter le risque
d’incendie.
• Respectez la puissance nominale afin d’éviter les dégâts aux
haut-parleurs ainsi que les risques d’incendie.

CM design loudspeaker with back can
• N’ouvrez pas le haut-parleur et n’essayez pas de démonter
les pièces internes ni de les modifier de quelque façon que ce
soit. Au cas où le haut-parleur semble mal fonctionner (aucun
son ou son altéré), si vous constatez de la fumée ou une odeur
inhabituelle émanant de l’appareil, cessez immédiatement de
l’utiliser et faites-le inspecter par du personnel qualifié.
• Utilisez des câbles du calibre adéquat, en particulier pour de
longues distances ou pour des systèmes de haute puissance.
• Utilisez des câbles avec une indication de couleur claire et
garantissez la polarité à travers tout le système.
• Évitez un accrochage acoustique trop fort des microphones,
ceci peut endommager votre haut-parleur.
• Nettoyez uniquement au moyen d’un chiffon sec.
• Évitez de toucher le bord tranchant en métal de l’appareil pour
éviter les blessures.
• Ne bloquez aucune ouverture d’aération. Installez selon les
instructions du fabricant.
• Utilisez uniquement des pièces jointes/des accessoires spécifiés
et approuvés par le fabricant.
• Installez le haut-parleur à un endroit qui peut supporter de
façon structurelle le poids de l’appareil et de son équipement

lésions aux personnes et/ou des dégâts matériels.
• N’utilisez pas le tweeter comme poignée pour transporter
l’appareil ; cela peut endommager votre haut-parleur.
CM20DTS / CM30DTD / CM60DTD
• Attachez toujours un câble de sécurité aux deux attaches de
sécurité sismiques afin de fixer sûrement le haut-parleur à la
structure de construction. Veillez à respecter dans cette optique
les codes de construction qui sont d’application. Dans le cas
contraire, l’appareil pourrait tomber, ce qui peut causer des
lésions aux personnes ou même entraîner la mort.
• Utilisez uniquement des outils et méthodes de montage

acts as a strain relief plate for the cable and retainer for the
euroblock connector. If the installation requires the use of a
cable gland, use the knockout of 22mm (0.87 inch) present
on the cover.
Insert the loudspeaker into the pre-cut hole and fasten the

matter otherwise the unit
could fall, resulting in personal

If the safety cable is too long
and the loudspeaker should
fall the safety cable may snap
as result of too much strain.
We therefore recommend
installing the safety cable with
as little slack as possible.

Set the power tapping prior to applying audio and only
change the setting while the audio amplifer is shut off.
WARNING
WARNING
The 16 ohm setting is not compatible with
70 volt or 100 volt line amplifiers!
WARNING
The highest 70 volt power setting is not compatible with
100 volt line amplifiers, only with 70 volt line amplifiers.
Install the thin-edge grille on the loudspeaker. The grille
11
is held in place by powerful magnets. Out of the box, the
loudspeaker’s colour is pure white (RAL9010). This white
finish complements most decors and does not require
further painting.
However, if the interior design
requires a custom loudspeaker
finish, these loudspeakers
are very easy to paint. Only
the speaker grille and trim
ring have to be painted. For
more information we refer
you to the dealer where you
purchased this product.
