FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT

OVEREXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN

OR MOISTURE

AVIS: RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE,

NE PAS OUVRIR.

WARNING: THE MAINS PLUG OR AC

INLET IS USED AS A DISCONNECT

DEVICE. THE DISCONNECT DEVICE

SHALL REMAIN READILY OPERABLE.

WARNING: CONNECT ONLY TO MAINS

SOCKET WITH PROTECTIVE EARTHING

CONNECTION.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE

COVER (OR BACK) AS THERE ARE NO

USER-SERVICABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED

PERSONNEL.

The lightening flash with arrowhead

symbol, within an equilateral triangle is

intended to alert the user to the

presence of uninsulated “dangerous

voltage” within the product’s enclosure

that may be sufficient magnitude to

constitute a risk of electric shock to

persons.

The exclamation point within an

equilateral triangle is intended to alert

the user to the presence of important

operating and maintenance (servicing)

instructions in the literature

accompanying the appliance.

The asterisk within an equilateral

triangle is intended to inform the user to

necessary installation or removal

instructions regarding equipment or

hardware use relating to the system.

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with a dry cloth.

7. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the

apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been

exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15. To completely disconnect AC power from this apparatus, the power supply cord must be

unplugged.

Suspension

Warning!

Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals

who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects

overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends all loudspeakers be suspended taking into

account all current national, federal, state, and local laws and regulations. It is the

responsibility of the installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance

with all such requirements. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly

recommends the system be inspected at least once per year or as laws and regulations

require. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken

immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall, ceiling, or structure is capable

of supporting all objects suspended overhead. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker

not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.

Warning!

Do not suspend this product in any other manner than explicitly described in this manual, or

Electro-Voice installation guides. Suspending any object (loudspeaker) is potentially

dangerous and should only be done by individuals with thorough knowledge of techniques,

materials, and regulations for suspending objects overhead. Electro-Voice loudspeakers can

only be suspended using accessories and hardware described in Electro-Voice manuals and

installation guides. Do NOT use handles to suspend the loudspeaker. Handles on Electro-

Voice loudspeakers are intended to only be used for temporary transport by people. Items,

such as fiber rope, wire rope, cables, or other types of materials cannot be used to

suspend loudspeaker from the handles. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker not

associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.

Notices

Old electrical and electronic appliances

Electrical or electronic devices that are no longer serviceable must be collected separately and

sent for environmentally compatible recycling (in accordance with the European Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive).

To dispose of old electrical or electronic devices, you should use the return and collection

systems put in place in the country concerned.

FCC Information

IMPORTANT: Do not modify this unit! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the

manufacturer could void the user’s authority, granted by the FCC, to operate the equipment.

Notice!

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,

uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with

the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is

no guarantee interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does

cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by

one or more of the following measures:

▪Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

▪Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

▪Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

▪Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.

Precautions

If an Electro-Voice loudspeaker is used outdoors on a sunny day, place the

loudspeaker in a shaded or covered area. The loudspeaker amplifiers have

protection circuits that temporarily shut the loudspeaker off when extremely

high temperatures are reached. This can happen on hot days when the

loudspeaker is in direct sunlight.

Do not use Electro-Voice loudspeakers in an environment where temperatures

are below 0°C (32°F) or exceed +40°C (104°F).

Never expose an Electro-Voice loudspeaker to rain, water, or high moisture.

Electro-Voice loudspeakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure

levels sufficient to cause permanent hearing damage to anyone within normal

coverage distance. Caution should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to

sound pressure levels exceeding 90 dB.

System features

ETX Powered Loudspeakers from Electro-Voice build upon the legacy and heritage of EV , to

deliver the most advanced powered loudspeaker products for portable and permanent

applications. The output, response and coverage pattern of EV transducers are all optimized

via the breakthrough design approach known as SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers),

combined with state-of-the-art on-board DSP which is accessed via an easy-to-use single-knob

interface. EV designed and manufactured transducers include SMX woofer technology using

composite cone materials, flux stabilizing rings, and thermal management. This transducer

yields lower distortion, smooth response and high SPL. The high-efficiency DH3-B

compression driver has a convex diaphragm driving a coherent phase device extending

frequency response to 20 kHz. The ETX Powered Loudspeaker family features three (3) two-

way loudspeakers (10-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch with a 1.5-inch titanium compression driver),

a single three-way loudspeaker, and subwoofers with 15-inch and 18-inch drivers. ETX

Powered Loudspeakers combine EV-engineered intelligent DSP, high-powered amplifiers and

high-efficiency transducers to deliver that legendary EV sound and performance.
