Important Safety Instructions
The lightning 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 of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water. Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects filled

6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any of the 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. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
10. 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.
11.To completely disconnect AC power from this apparatus, the power supply cord must be unplugged.
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.
For US and CANADA only:
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.
The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an

Important Service Instructions
CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do
not perform any servicing other than that contained in the Operating Instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Refer
all servicing to qualified service personnel.

servicing the appliance.
2. Use of a AC separator transformer is mandatory during maintenance while the appliance is opened, needs to be
operated and is connected to the AC.
3. Switch off the power before retrofitting any extensions, changing the AC voltage or the output voltage.
4. The minimum distance between parts carrying AC voltage and any accessible metal piece (metal enclosure),
respectively between the AC poles has to be 3 mm and needs to be minded at all times.
The minimum distance between parts carrying AC voltage and any switches or breakers that are not connected
to the AC (secondary parts) has to be 6 mm and needs to be minded at all times.
5. Replacing special components that are marked in the circuit diagram using the security symbol (Note) is only permissible
when using original parts.
6. Altering the circuitry without prior consent or advice is not legitimate.
7. Any work security regulations that are applicable at the location where the appliance is being serviced have to be strictly

Safety First
When setting up, installing and using Electro-Voice® SxA speaker systems, there are a number of
precautions that you should follow:
· When Electro-Voice® SxA speakers are used for portable applications in which they will be
stacked directly on the floor or mounted on a tripod stand, make sure that the floor or stage is
solid and secure.
· Electro-Voice® SxA speaker systems include 1 3/8-inch stand mounts to allow mounting on tripod
stands.
Make sure to:
· Check the specifications of the speaker stand to be certain it is capable of supporting the weight
of the speaker.
· Check that the speaker stand is placed on a flat, stable surface and be sure to fully extend the
legs of the stand. Do not try to make the stand “taller” and compromise its structural integrity.
· Route cables and position the stand so that performers, production crew and audience members
will not trip over the stand or cables and pull the speaker system over. Secure cables with wire
ties or tape whenever possible.
· Do not attempt to suspend more than one speaker on a stand designed for a single speaker.
· Unless you are confident that you can safely handle lifting the weight of the speaker onto the
stand, ask another person to help you place it.
· After the system is in operation for a few minutes, the heat sink will become warm to the touch
and can become quite hot after extended high-level operation. Avoid touching the heat sink fins
to prevent burns. When installing the system, use care to ensure that there is at least two inches
of space behind the heatsink to allow free circulation of air.
· If you intended to hang or fly the SxA two-way systems, please do so safely with the correct
hardware and accessories.
WARNING:
attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and
regulations of rigging objects overhead. Electro-Voice® strongly recommends that SxA
speakers be suspended taking into account all current national, federal, state and local
regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that SxA speakers are safely installed
in accordance with all such regulations. If SxA speakers are suspended, Electro-Voice® strongly
recommends that the system be inspected at least once a year. If any sign of weakness or
damage is detected, remedial action should be taken immediately.

hardware kits that are available to safely suspend SxA speakers and how each kit should be
used. There are also data sheets for each EV hanging hardware part that should also be
consulted prior to suspending speakers.

Suspending System 200 Loudspeakers,
· Electro-Voice® does not recommend use of SxA speakers outdoors or in high
moisture environments. Avoid exposing SxA speakers to direct moisture and or high
humidity that can cause corrosion of electrical contacts and problems with
loudspeaker cones and surrounds.
· Electro-Voice® SxA 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.
Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be
