System Setup
Professional loudspeaker systems are potentially dangerous objects if used incorrectly. Please ensure that you
read this section fully, and contact EM Acoustics or your local dealer should you be in any doubt over correct
operation procedures.
Professional loudspeaker systems are capable of producing damage-inducing sound pressure levels, and hence
care should be taken when setting your system up, particularly when it comes to loudspeaker placement
within a venue. Damage to the ear can result from levels above 90dB under prolonged exposure.
