The S500 Series loudspeakers are designed to sit on the floor or stage. The S512 and S515 may also be polemounted via the built-in socket on the bottom of the cabinet. Be sure the pole is capable of supporting the weight of the loudspeaker. The S525 and S518S are NOT designed to be pole-mounted. WARNING: These cabinets have no rigging points and are not suitable for rigging.
S500 Series Loudspeakers Protection A protection circuit is built into the S512, S515 and S525 to protect their high-frequency drivers from excessive power. When tripped, the protection circuit substantially reduces the power to the HF driver. After the driver cools to a safe operating temperature, the protection circuit resets and normal operation resumes. However, if the protection circuit senses excessive power, it will trip again.
