SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The IRX115s 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 finished
surfaces may be degraded by long-term exposure to intense ultra-violet (UV) light. The IRX115s 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.

HEARING DAMAGE, PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE SPL

The IRX115s is capable of generating sound pressure levels (SPL) sufficient 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 85 dB.

CARE & CLEANING

IRX115s may be cleaned with a dry cloth. Do not allow 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.

WEEE Notice

The Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which entered into force as European law
on 14/02/2014, resulted in a major change in the treatment of electrical equipment at end-of-life. The purpose of this Directive
is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE, and in addition, to promote the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such
wastes so as to reduce disposal. The WEEE logo on the product or on its box indicating collection for electrical and electronic
equipment consists of the crossed-out wheeled bin, as shown below. 15.

This product must not be disposed of or dumped with your other household waste. You are liable of dispose of all your electronic or electrical
waste equipment by relocating over to the specified collection point for recycling of such hazardous waste. Isolated collection and proper
recovery of your electronic and electrical waste equipment at the time of disposal will allow us to help conserving natural resources.
Moreover, proper recycling of the electronic and electrical waste equipment will ensure safety of human health and environment. For more
information about electronica and electrical waste equipment disposal, recovery, and collection points, please contact your local city center,
household waste disposal service, shop from where you purchased the equipment, or manufacturer of the equipment.

RoHS Compliance

This product is in compliance with Directive 2011/65/EU and (EU) 2015/863 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19.
31/03/2015 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

REACH

REACH (Regulation No 1907/2006) addresses the production and use of chemical substances and their potential impacts on human health
and the environment. Article 33 (1) of REACH Regulation requires suppliers to inform the recipients if an article contains more than 0.1%
(per weight per article) of any substance(s) on the Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) Candidate List (‘REACH candidate list’).

This product contains the substance ‘’lead’’ (CAS-No. 7439-92-1) in a concentration of more than 0.1% per weight.
At the time of release of this product, except for the lead substance, no other substances of REACH candidate list are contained in a
concentration of more than 0.1% per weight in this product.

Note: on June 27, 2018, lead was added to the REACH candidate list. The indusion of lead in the REACH candidate list does not mean that

lead-containing materials pose an immediate risk or results in a restriction of permissibility of its use.

LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT AND SUSPENSION

1

2

Floor Standing Subwoofer Mounted

The following guidelines will help you achieve optimum sound wherever you use your IRX115s® loudspeaker:

Raise the speakers as high as possible.

For best results try to get the high frequency horn at least 2 to 4 feet above the heads of the audience. If the speakers are too
low, the people in the back of the audience will not receive the best quality sound.

Place the speakers between the microphones and the audience.

Feedback occurs when the microphones pick up sound from the speakers and “feed” the sound back through the sound
system. If space is limited, point the speakers away from the microphones to reduce feedback.

Locate the speakers away from turntables.

Low-frequency feedback occurs when the output of the speaker is picked up by the tone arm of the turntable and is re­amplified. A heavy, solid turntable base and shock mounting can also reduce this type of feedback in DJ applications.

Use more speakers in large or highly reverberant spaces.

Spreading speakers throughout these spaces will produce much better sound than trying to compensate with loudness level or
equalization. For very long distances, the use of another set of speakers with time delay is recommended.

Stand speakers upright for PA - Tilt the speakers back on the side for stage monitoring. Upright stance provides even coverage
over a wide area. IRX Series speakers are also designed with two slanted positions for stage monitoring applications.

• Re-seat the power cable at both ends.

• Substitute a known-good power cable

• Check VU meters on the source mixer

• Verify that the tape or CD is playing.

• Use headphones to verify that the instrument is actually
sending an audio signal

• Disconnect and re-seat signal cables.

• Replace suspected cable with a known-good cable

equipment to drive your IRX115s.

• Use a “DI” (direct injection) box to convert your unbalanced equipment
output to a balanced output.

Reduce the INPUT level controls and increase the output level of your
