- ✔️ DO NOT OPEN: Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified GEMINI service personnel.
- ✔️ REPLACEMENT PARTS: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
- ✔️ LOCATION: If you use a stand, check the stand's specifications and make sure that it is sturdy enough to support the weight of the speaker. You may need to limit the number of people around the placed stand, to avoid toppling the device or causing damage to the internal components. Also, be sure to keep the following cautions:
- Use the speaker stands with their legs fully opened.
- Mount only one speaker on each speaker stand.
- Tighten fastening screws securely.
- Remove the speakers from the stands before moving the stands or adjusting their height.
- Add weight such as sand bags around the stand legs to prevent them from falling over.
- Use the stand at a maximum height of 140cm (55").
- If you use the socket of the GVX subwoofer to allow mounting of a satellite speaker, use a pole 100cm max. with an outer diameter of 35mm (1-3/8").
- When transporting the device, always use two or more people.
- Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
- Do not use the speaker's handles for suspended installation. Doing so can result in damage or injury.
- Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
- Do not place the device in an unstable position where it may accidentally fall over.
- ✔️ RIGGING SAFETY: The GVX series Rigging System's provisions for use require that it be installed in accordance with the following specifications. Before you begin installation:
- Ensure that points where you have chosen to mount (for example a chain hoist) on the stage roof or venues ceiling comply with accident prevention and that the safety standards authority has certified them for the full load.
- Inspect all components to ensure they are in good working order, taking care that all tracks, trusses and connecting components (cables, fittings) are undamaged.
- Use only the parts specified in this operating manual!
- Be sure to protect cabinets against rain and moisture when they are deployed outdoors.
- If parts of the load-bearing equipment have been deformed, it is up to the manufacturer to determine if they are repairable.
Connections
Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to minimum.
- Use only speaker cables for connecting speakers to the speaker jacks. Use of other types of cables may result in fire.
- Be sure to observe the amplifier's rated load impedance, particularly when connecting speakers in parallel. Connecting an impedance load outside the amplifier's rated range can damage the amplifier.
