Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

English

Location

• Always consult qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel if the device installation requires construction work, and make sure to observe the following precautions.

- Choose mounting hardware and an installation location that

-Avoid locations that are exposed to constant vibration.

- Make sure to use the speciﬁed hardware.

- Inspect the device periodically.

• When transporting or moving the device, always use two or more people. Attempting to lift the device by yourself may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage to the device itself.

• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disﬁguration or damage to the internal components.

• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

Connections

• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to minimum.

• Use only speaker cables for connecting speakers to the speaker jacks. Use of other types of cables may result in ﬁre.

can support the weight of the device.

Handling caution

• When choosing a power ampliﬁer to use with your speakers, make sure that its power output matches the speakers’ power capacity (refer to the Speciﬁcations on page 14). Even if the ampliﬁer’s power output is lower than the speakers’ power capacity, the speakers may be damaged when clipping of a high input signal occurs. The following may cause damage to speakers:

- Feedback caused when using a microphone.

- Continuous high sound pressure level produced by electronic

instruments.

- Continuous high-power output of distorted signals.

- Popping noises caused by turning on equipment, or by

connecting or disconnecting system components while the ampliﬁer is turned on.

• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the power ampliﬁer LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power off, the power ampliﬁer should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.

• Do not operate this device at high volume levels or at a level that is uncomfortable, since it is capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any discomfort or ringing in the ears, or suspect an hearing loss, you should consult an audiologist.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modiﬁcations to the device.

Suspended Installation

CAUTION

●

The strength of the suspension points on the speaker is per point (maximum).

●

Before doing any installation or construction work, consult with an installation expert.

When choosing the installation location, suspension wire and

●

mounting hardware, make sure all are strong enough to support the weight of the speaker.

●

Some ﬁttings may deteriorate over extended periods of time due to wear and or corrosion. For optimum safety, the installation should be checked thoroughly at regular intervals.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage or injury caused by insufﬁcient strength of the support structure or improper installation.

■

Using eye bolts for suspension

For optimum safety, make sure to carefully follow the precautions below.

CAUTION

●

Use only the supplied eye bolts.

●

Use three or more eye bolts for suspended installations.

●

Use the optional array frame if you intend to suspend a speaker from another suspended speaker.

●

Install the eye bolts to multiple surfaces of the speaker, not just one surface.

■

Eye bolt strength

Keep in mind that the strength of the eye bolt differs depending on the suspension angle of the speaker. Make sure that the load for each eye bolt is less than 740 kg when suspending at an angle of 0 degrees, and less than 185 kg at an angle of 45 degrees.

CAUTION

When using the eye bolts, make sure that the suspension angle is within the range of 0 to 45 degrees, as shown below.

60 kg
