1. WHARFEDALE SYSTEMS DIVISION S WHARFEDALE SYSTEMS DIVISION 1 READ INSTRUCTIONS carefully before operating this product 2 RETAIN these instructions 3 COMPLY WITH WARNINGS All warnings and instructions for this product should be adhered to 4 USE WITH AMPLIFIERS In order to avoid damage it is advisable to establish and follow a pattern for turning on and off any sound system With all system parts connected turn on source equipment tape decks instruments mixers signal processors etc BEFORE turning on your power amplifier Many products output turn on and turn off transients that can damage speakers By turning on your power amplifier LAST and making sure the amplifiers input controls are at minimum any transients upstream of the amplifier are not amplified and passed to the speaker Wait until all system parts have stabilised then bring up amplifier controls to operating level This should take no more than a few seconds Similarly when shutting systems down always turn down amplifier input controls and then turn off your amplifier BEFORE shutting down other components Professional amplifiers often feature delayed turn on off circuits to perform these functions for you automatically 5 CABLES Never use shielded or microphone cable for any speaker connection as this will not be heavy enough to handle the amplifier load and could cause damage to the complete system 6 A RIGGING SUSPENDING MOU2.
