1.1. Information regarding the use of loudspeakers

Potential risk of personal injury

Never stand in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers driven at a
high level. Professional loudspeaker systems are capable of
causing a sound pressure level detrimental to human health.
Seemingly non-critical sound levels (from approx. 95 dB SPL) can
cause hearing damage if people are exposed to it over a long
period.

In order to prevent accidents when deploying loudspeakers on the
ground or when flown, please take note of the following:

– When setting up the loudspeakers or loudspeaker stands,

make sure they are standing on a firm surface. If you place
several systems on top of one another, use straps to secure
them against movement.

– Only use accessories which have been tested and approved

by d&b for assembly and mobile deployment. Pay attention to
the correct application and maximum load capacity of the
accessories as detailed in our specific "Mounting instructions"
or in our "Flying system and Rigging manuals".

– Ensure that all additional hardware, fixings and fasteners used

for installation or mobile deployment are of an appropriate
size and load safety factor. Pay attention to the manufacturers'
instructions and to the relevant safety guidelines.

– Regularly check the loudspeaker housings and accessories for

visible signs of wear and tear, and replace them when
necessary.

– Regularly check all load bearing bolts in the mounting devices.

Potential risk of material damage

Loudspeakers produce a static magnetic field even if they are not
connected or are not in use. Therefore make sure when erecting
and transporting loudspeakers that they are nowhere near
equipment and objects which may be impaired or damaged by an
external magnetic field. Generally speaking, a distance of 0.5 m
(1.5 ft) from magnetic data carriers (floppy disks, audio and video
tapes, bank cards, etc.) is sufficient; a distance of more than 1 m
(3 ft) may be necessary with computer and video monitors.

2.1. Product description

V7P/V10P are passive 3-way loudspeakers housing two 10" LF
drivers, one horn-loaded 8" MF driver and a 1.4" HF compression
driver with a rotatable CD horn producing a nominal dispersion (h
x v) of 75° x 40° (V7P) and 110° x 40° (V10P), respectively.

All components are arranged symmetrically around the center axis
of the cabinet to produce a perfect symmetrical dispersion pattern.
This setup allows for a crossover design with a well defined
overlap of adjacent frequency bands resulting in a very consistent
and accurate vertical dispersion. Due to the dipolar arrangement
of the low drivers, broadband vertical dispersion control is
maintained down to approximately 350 Hz – an outstanding
feature for a passive 3-way system.

The frequency response extends from 59 Hz to above 18 kHz.

The cabinets are constructed from marine plywood and have an
impact and weather protected PCP (Polyurea Cabinet Protection)
finish. The top and bottom panels incorporate a handle each. The
front of the loudspeaker cabinet is protected by a rigid metal grill
backed by an acoustically transparent foam.

The cabinets are fitted with three types of rigging devices:
– Two M10 threaded inserts on the top and bottom panels each

to accept either the Z5383 VP Mounting bracket, the Z5384
VP Flying adapter or the Z5388 VP Horizontal bracket.

– Three additional combined sockets [A], one in the top panel

and two at the rear of the cabinet that accept either:

– the Q9032 Safety eye bolt M10 to apply a independent

secondary safety device.

– the Z5049 Flying pin 8 mm to support single cabinets or to

secure the aiming of an array.

Intended use of the Z5049 Flying pin

WARNING!
Potential risk of personal injury and/or

damage to material!

The Z5049 Flying pin 8 mm is designed and intended for static
loads only. Therefore please observe the following:

– The Flying pin must not be used to attach a secondary safety

device.

– Ensure the Flying pin is securely locked before lifting any load.

Proceed as follows:

1. Press the button to release the locking mechanism ([r] ).

2. Fully insert the Flying pin into the respective socket.

3. Release the button to lock the pin ([l] ).

4. Recheck the Flying pin is securely locked by briefly pulling the
Flying pin towards you.
