Care and Cleaning
EON208P systems may be cleaned with a dry cloth. Do not get moisture into any of the openings in the system.
Ensure that the system is unplugged from the AC outlet before cleaning.
THIS APPARATUS CONTAINS POTENTIALLY LETHAL VOLTAGES. TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK OR
HAZARD, DO NOT REMOVE CHASSIS, MIXER MODULE OR AC INPUT COVERS. NO USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
Section 2: Precautions
The EON208P PA system covered by this manual is not intended for use in high
moisture environments. Moisture can damage the speaker cone and surround and cause
corrosion of electrical contacts and metal parts. Avoid exposing the speakers to direct
moisture. Keep speakers out of extended or intense direct sunlight. The driver suspension
will prematurely dry out and nished surfaces may be degraded by long-term exposure to
!
Stand Mounting Safety Precautions
The EON208P speakers contain a 36 mm receptacle cup to allow mounting on tripod stands or on a pole over
subwoofers. When using stands or poles, be sure to observe the following precautions:
• Check the stand or pole specication to be certain the device is designed to support the weight of the
speaker. Observe all safety precautions specied by the manufacturer.
• Always verify that the stand (or subwoofer/pole) is placed on a at, level and stable surface and
be sure to fully extend the legs of tripod type stands. Position the stand so that the legs do not
present a trip hazard.
intense ultra-violet (UV) light. The EON208P PA system can generate considerable energy.
When placed on a slippery surface such as polished wood or linoleum, the speaker may
move due to its acoustical energy output. Precautions should be taken to assure that the
speaker does not fall off a stage or table on which it is placed.
• Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip and topple the
speakers over.
• Inspect the stand (or pole and associated hardware) before each use and do not use equipment with
worn, damaged or missing parts.
• Do not attempt to place more than one EON208P series speaker on a stand or pole.
• Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions. It may be necessary to place additional weight (i.e.
sandbags) on the base of the stand to improve stability. Avoid attaching banners or similar items to
any part of a speaker system. Such attachments could act as a sail and topple the system.
• Unless you are condent that you can handle the weight of the speaker, ask another person to help
you get it onto the tripod stand or pole.
Hearing Damage, Prolonged Exposure to Excessive SPL
The EON208P system is capable of generating sound pressure levels (SPL) sufcient to cause permanent
hearing damage to performers, production crew and audience members. Caution should be taken to avoid
prolonged exposure to SPL in excess of 90 dB.
