Safety Information
Precautions
The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol in an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of non-insulated “dangerous voltage” inside the appliance that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock.
The exclamation mark 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 product.

way, for example, the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen inside the
appliance, the appliance has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

2. Switch on the equipment you intend to use with the speakers (console, PC, audio
equipment, etc.).
3. Check the speaker settings and your audio equipment (volume turned down to its
lowest level).

should light up.
Note that: when powering off, the Prodipe speakers should be switched off first (switch
to OFF and blue LED goes out).

Positioning your speakers correctly in a studio setup is critical to their performance.
Reflection is the most likely acoustic problem you will have to deal with.
As shown in Figure 8, where you place the speakers in relation to a mixer console can
modify the sound wave and hence alter how that sound is perceived.
Reflection
Figure 8
To avoid any deterioration in the low bass signals, the positioning of the speakers has to be
adapted to take into account the bass reflex system. As the Pro6 vent can be found at the
rear of the speaker, it is recommended that you leave a gap of about 80 to 100cm behind
each speaker.
