Important Safety Instructions
2
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 manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus that produce heat.
9. Only use attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer.
10. Use only with a cart, stand, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving
the cart / apparatus combination to avoid injury from
tip-over.
11. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when
an apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-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.
12. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to
rain or moisture.
13. Hearing damage, prolonged exposure to excessive SPL, the loudspeaker
is easily 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 90 dB.
The VRX932LA loudspeaker covered by this manual
is not intended for fixed installation in outdoor or 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 VRX932LA speaker 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.
INTRODUCTION TO THE VRX932LA
The VRX932LA is a two-way, line-array loudspeaker system intended for use in arrays of up to six enclosures.
Three high-frequency drivers are mounted to the Constant Curvature waveguide which is designed so that multiple enclosures may be arrayed with no discontinuity in the vertical coverage pattern. As a result, the array will
behave in much the same way as would a single loudspeaker. Array coverage may be adjusted by means of the
Array Configuration Selector (ACS), a feature that provides amplitude shading (see page 6) when the system is
used in passive mode. Integral rigging hardware, a dual angle pole socket and an accessory array frame provide
for a variety of mounting and suspension options.
