Safety
Old electrical and electronic appliances
Electrical or electronic devices that are no longer serviceable must be collected separately and
sent for environmentally compatible recycling (in accordance with the European Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive).
To dispose of old electrical or electronic devices, you should use the return and collection
systems put in place in the country concerned.
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 laws and regulations. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance
with all such requirements. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly
recommends the system be inspected at least once per year or as laws and regulations
require. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken
immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall, ceiling, or structure is capable
of supporting all objects suspended overhead. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker
not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.
Redundant safety point
As an added safety measure, it is suggested the user install an extra suspension point back to
the building structural supports. This redundant safety point should have as little slack as
possible (less than 1-inch is preferable).
