Important Safety instructions:

!

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT

OVEREXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN

OR MOISTURE.

AVIS: RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE,

NE PAS OUVRIR.

WARNING: CONNECT ONLY TO MAINS

SOCKET WITH PROTECTIVE EARTHING

CONNECTION.

The lightening flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral

!triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

The asterisk within an equilateral triangle is intended to inform the user to necessary installation or removal instructions regarding equipment or hardware use relating to the system.

1.Read these instructions.

2.Keep these instructions.

3.Heed all warnings.

4.Follow all instructions.

5.Do not use this apparatus near water.

6.Clean only with a dry cloth.

7.Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.

8.Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9.Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11.Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12.Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

13.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

14.To completely disconnect AC power from this apparatus, the power supply cord must be unplugged.

15.Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed on this apparatus.

16.The AC plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable.

Management of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) (applicable in Member States of the European Union and other European countries with individual national polices on the management of WEEE). The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as regular household waste, but has to be disposed through returning it at an Electro-Voice dealer.

FCC information

IMPORTANT: Do not modify this unit! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority, granted by the FCC, to operate the equipment.

Notice!

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.

Precautions

If an Electro-Voice loudspeaker is used outdoors on a sunny day, place the loudspeaker in a shaded or covered area. The loudspeaker amplifiers have

! protection circuits that temporarily shut the loudspeaker off when extremely high temperatures are reached. This can happen on hot days when the loudspeaker is in direct sunlight.

Do not use Electro-Voice loudspeakers in an environment where temperatures

!are below 0°C (32°F) or exceed +40°C (104°F).

Never expose an Electro-Voice loudspeaker to rain, water, or high moisture.

!

Electro-Voice loudspeakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure levels sufficient to cause permanent hearing damage to anyone within normal

! coverage distance. Caution should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels exceeding 90 dB.

Suspension

Warning!

Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends all loudspeakers be suspended taking into account all current national, federal, state, and local regulations. It is the responsibility of the

!installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance with all such regulations. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly recommends the system be inspected at least once a year. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall or ceiling is capable of supporting the loudspeaker. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.

System features

 

ETX Powered Loudspeakers from Electro-Voice build upon the legacy and heritage of EV, to

 

deliver the most advanced powered loudspeaker products for portable and permanent

applications. The output, response and coverage pattern of EV transducers are all optimized via the breakthrough design approach known as SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers), combined with state-of-the-art on-board DSP which is accessed via an easy-to-use single-knob interface. EV designed and manufactured transducers include SMX woofer technology using composite cone materials, flux stabilizing rings, and thermal management. This transducer yields lower distortion, smooth response and high SPL. The high-efficiency DH3-B compression driver has a convex diaphragm driving a coherent phase device extending frequency response to 20 kHz. The ETX Powered Loudspeaker family features three (3) twoway loudspeakers (10-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch with a 1.5-inch titanium compression driver), a single three-way loudspeaker, and subwoofers with 15-inch and 18-inch drivers. ETX Powered Loudspeakers combine EV-engineered intelligent DSP, high-powered amplifiers and high-efficiency transducers to deliver that legendary EV sound and performance.
