SPEAKERS INSTALLATION: SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

This manual assumes that the owners and/or users of a VOICE SYSTEMS system
are knowledgeable and experienced in the areas of Pole and Tripod use with loud-
speaker systems, as well as flying suspension of loudspeakers.
The flying suspension of large, heavy objects and the suspension on Pole or Tripod
in public places is subject to numerous laws and regulations at the national/fed-
eral, state/provincial, and local levels, that are not addressed in this manual.
However, the user must assume responsibility for making sure that use of any
VOICE SYSTEMS system, its components and all the stands and poles and associ-
ated hardware in any particular circumstance or venue conforms to all applicable
laws and regulations in force at the time.
WHEN USING STANDS OR POLES, BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
PRECAUTIONS.
CHECK THE STAND OR POLE SPECIFICATION TO BE CERTAIN THE DEVICE IS
DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER. OBSERVE ALL
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
MAKE SURE THAT THE SURFACE ON WHICH THE SYSTEM IS TO BE STACKED
IS FLAT, STABLE AND SOLID.
ROUTE CABLES SO THAT PERFORMERS, PRODUCTION CREW, AND AUDIENCE
WILL NOT TRIP AND TOPPLE THE SPEAKERS.
INSPECT THE STAND (OR POLE AND ASSOCIATED HARDWARE) BEFORE EACH
USE AND DO NOT USE EQUIPMENT WITH WORN, DAMAGED, OR MISSING
PARTS.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PLACE MORE THAN ONE SATELLITE LOUDSPEAKERS
ON A STAND OR POLE.
ALWAYS BE CAUTIOUS WHEN DEPLOYING THE SYSTEM OUTDOORS. UNEX-
PECTED WINDS MAY TOPPLE A SYSTEM.
IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO PLACE ADDITIONAL WEIGHT (I.E.SANDBAGS) ON
THE BASE OF THE STAND TO IMPROVE STABILITY. AVOID ATTACHING BAN-
NERS OR SIMILAR ITEMS TO ANY PART OF A SPEAKER SYSTEM. SUCH AT-
TACHMENTS COULD ACT AS A SAIL AND TOPPLE THE SYSTEM.
UNLESS YOU ARE CONFIDENT THAT YOU CAN HANDLE THE WEIGHT OF THE
SPEAKER, ASK ANOTHER PERSON TO HELP YOU GET IT ONTO THE TRIPOD
STAND OR POLE.
FOR WHAT CONCERNS THE FLYING SUSPENSION OF LOUDSPEAKERS, THE
USER MUST ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE APPROPRIATE USE OF
VOICE SYSTEMS EQUIPMENT IN ANY PARTICULAR LOCATION OR CIRCUM-
STANCE. IT IS RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT ANY
VOICE SYSTEMS LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM IS SUSPENDED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH ALL APPLICABLE NATIONAL/FEDERAL, STATE/PROVINCIAL, AND LOCAL
E E N N
REGULATIONS.
As an extra precaution, careful inspection of the attachment points is advised be-
fore flying, particularly in older venues or those hosting frequent events using
large sound and lighting systems. In any case, VOICE SYSTEMS systems are in-
tended only for suspension from approved rigging points, each known to have
ample safe working loads margins for the system components suspended below
them.
