1.9. Accessories — Install and use this EAW Commercial product only with the accessories specied
by the manufacturer or supplied with the product.
1.10. Hearing Loss — Exposure to high sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. The sound
pressure level which leads to hearing loss varies considerably from one person to another, and depends
on the duration of exposure. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) has established the maximum sound pressure levels that can be with stood without causing
damage, which are shown in the table below. According to the OSHA regulations, any exposure over
the maximum limits indicated in the table can reduce the hearing capacity of a person. To prevent
potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, anyone subjected to such levels must
use suitable protection. When a EAW Commercial product capable of producing high sound levels is
being used, it is therefore necessary to wear ear plugs or protective earphones when the limits shown
in the table are exceeded.
Consult the specications provided in the instruction manual to know the maximum sound pressure
(SPL) the speaker is capable of producing.
WARNING! This equipment has
been designed to be installed
by qualied professionals only!
There are many factors to be
considered when installing
professional sound reinforcement
systems, including mechanical
and electrical considerations, as
well as acoustic coverage and
performance. EAW Commercial
strongly recommends that this
equipment be installed only by
a professional sound installer or
contractor.

3. INTRODUCTION
The SMS4 and SMS4W are a compact two-way loudspeaker system designed for constantvoltage. The 5” (130 mm) carbon ber woofer, in combination with a 0.5” (13 mm) mylar dome
tweeter mounted on a 110° x 110° constant directivity horn, provide natural, smooth sound
reproduction, ideal for use in business music systems and indoor/outdoor background music
applications. The passive crossover is designed to reduce heat dissipation and optimize the power
response of the loudspeaker. Connections are made to recessed, color – coded spring-loaded
terminals. The enclosure is constructed of high-density plastic, with M6 threaded inserts for use
with the optional mounting hardware, and includes a protective perforated steel grille.
