SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES
Please read this entire manual before using this device, paying extra attention to these
safety warnings and guidelines. Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
This line array system is intended for indoor use only.
Do not expose this speaker system to water or moisture of any kind. If moisture
does get in or on the system, immediately unplug it from the power source and
allow it to fully dry before reapplying power.
Do not touch the system, the power cord, or any other connected cables with wet
hands.
If operating this speaker system in a humid environment, ensure that no
condensation occurs. Condensation could cause damage to the speaker cones and
could cause a short in the amplifier, which in turn could cause fire or severe electric
shock.
Do not expose this system to excessively high temperatures. Do not install it in
direct sunlight.
This system dissipates excessive heat from the heat sink on the rear. Do not cover
the heat sink and ensure that there is at least 12" space behind the speaker to allow
for adequate air flow.
Keep flammable materials at least 3 feet from the heat sink on the rear of these
speakers.
This system has no user serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open, service, or
modify any part of it.
Before attempting to suspend the MiniRay™ System, please read and understand
this safety information. Never attempt to outwit your own common sense. If you do
not understand how to rig or suspend heavy equipment, DON'T DO IT!
Always consult with a licensed structural engineer regarding placement and load
points of the facility to which this system will be attached. Monoprice assumes no
liability for damages or injury due to improper rigging techniques. Anyone using this
information assumes all liability arising from use.

All information presented herein is based upon common materials and practices.
The installer must comply with all local/state regulations regarding the suspension
of active sound systems. Users should consult with engineering and regulatory
authorities for specific guidelines.
Before suspending any speaker system always inspect all components (enclosure,
rigging frames, pins, etc.) for cracks, deformations, corrosion, missing, or loose or
damaged parts that could reduce the strength and safety of the system. Do not
suspend speakers until the proper corrective action has been taken. Use only load-
rated hardware when suspending any loudspeakers.
Any hardware used in an overhead suspension application must be load rated for
the intended use. Local hardware stores do not usually stock these products.
Purchase additional suspension hardware from rigging supply houses; industrial
supply catalogs, or specialized rigging distributors.
A licensed Structural Engineer must approve the placement and method of
attachment to structures prior to installation of any overhead object. Your
Structural Engineer must answer to the following codes: Uniform Building Code,
Municipal Building Code, and Seismic Code, as applicable. Installation of hardware
and the method of attachment must be carried out in the manner specified by the
Structural Engineer. Improper installation may result in damage, injury, or death.
Your MiniRay™ System should be inspected for structural integrity at least annually.
The inspection should include a visual survey of all corners and load bearing
surfaces for signs of cracking, deformation, water damage, delamination, or any
other condition that may decrease the strength of the loudspeaker enclosure.
Suspension hardware should be surveyed for signs of corrosion, bending, or any
other condition that may decrease the strength of the fastener. For other fittings
used, refer to the manufacturer's inspection and maintenance guidelines for the
specific process.

Monoprice is not responsible for the application of its products for any purpose or
the misuse of this information for any purpose. Monoprice is not responsible for the
abuse of its products caused by avoiding compliance with inspection and
maintenance procedures or any other abuse. Prior to suspending the system, an
expert, trained and experienced in suspending loudspeaker systems, should inspect
all rigging parts and components.
MiniRay™ Active Line Array loudspeakers must only be suspended using the
MiniRay A1 Line Array Suspension Bracket (604900). This system is designed for the
suspension of the MiniRay Active Line Array by a qualified person familiar with
rigging hardware and industry practices. Improper installation will result in damage,
injury, or death.
The MiniRay A1 Line Array Suspension Bracket is only rated for suspending 2x
MiniRay 12 Line Array Subwoofers above 8x MiniRay 652 Line Array Speakers or 12x
MiniRay 652 Line Array Speakers.
Hearing damage can occur when subjected to prolonged exposure to excessive
sound pressure levels (SPL). MiniRay loudspeakers are 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.
If you are new to rigging, you should do the following:
Know the rules for safe rigging.
Attend a safe rigging seminar. Most rigging supply stores provide one-day sessions.
Meet and establish a relationship with a licensed mechanical or structural engineer.
Get in the habit of asking them questions instead of guessing about their answers.
Learn from what they tell you.
Let your insurance carrier know you are suspending a new speaker system.
Research and understand the codes, practices, and requirements of the facilities
and cities where you intend to operate your sound system.
