AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT, HUMIDITY, DUST AND VIBRATION
When choosing a location for your speakers, avoid the following:
•Direct sunlight, high temperatures (such as near heaters), or excessively low temperatures.
•High humidity.
•Areas subject to excessive dust accumulation and vibration.
•Non-level or unstable surfaces.
To avoid damage to your speakers and other parts of your system, when you turn on your system, ALWAYS turn the power amp on last! This will avoid loud, damaging pops that will annoy your audience, and blow your speakers. When you power down, the amplifier should ALWAYS be turned off first to avoid the same problems.
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF BEFORE MAKING OR REMOVING CONNECTIONS
Always turn the power switches of system components OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting cables. Failure to do so may result in damage to speakers as well as to connected equipment.
To prevent short circuits or breakage of cables, always disconnect cables prior to moving system equipment.
When using two or more speaker systems, be sure match the polarity (+/–) of the speaker system connectors to those at the amplifier. If the polarities do not match, the sounds produced by the speakers will interfere with each other, making it impossible to achieve a well-balanced sound field.
KEEP THIS OWNER’S MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
2
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 5). Even if the amplifier’s power output is lower than the speakers’ PGM (program) 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 distorted signals.
•Popping noises caused by turning on equipment, or by connecting or disconnecting system components while the amplifier is turned on.
This product, when used in combination with amplification and/or additional loudspeakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss.
DO NOT operate at high volume levels or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any discomfort or ringing in the ears, or suspect an hearing loss, you should consult an audiologist.
The handles on your speakers are for transportation. The F12M/F25/F28 models are not designed for suspension or hanging. Only the F12/F15 models are designed for suspension. Please consult a qualified engineer for proper hanging techniques.
Hang correctly according to the instructions on page 4.

The F12/F15 can be installed hanging. Remove the four countersunk screws on the top or bottom of the speaker system, screw in the four accessory eye bolts and hang with wire.
When hanging the speaker system, carry out the work under the guidance of an expert with a safe method appropriate to the actual installation and environment.
Eye bolt (3/8")
Countersunk screw
Warning: • Always use the accessory eye bolts.
•Always hang with four eye bolts on one surface.
•Do not use the handle to hang the speaker system.
■Standards and use conditions for flying
1Always hang from four points. (Figure 1)
2Use the fittings for the F12/F15 with a total load no greater than 172 kg including the speakers, eye bolts, wires, etc.
3Use with a hanging angle of no greater than 45°. (Figure 2)
4When hanging in a vertical array, use no more than 4 levels of F12s or 3 levels of F15s.
5Verify the strength of wire rope, ceiling fittings, and connection fittings.
* 1–5 above are reference values.
45°maximum
(Figure 1: Always hang from four points.) |
(Figure 2: Retraction angle 45° maximum) |
Parts can deteriorate due to wear, corrosion, etc. during use. For the sake of safe usage, inspect periodically.
