READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS Carefully and become familiar with the features and functions of these products before operating them. 2. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS For future reference. 3. COMPLY WITH ALL WARNINGS Non compliance may void warranty of the product. 4. USE WITH AMPLIFIERS In order to avoid damage to drivers and other equipment, it is advisable to establish and follow a routine for powering up and powering down a sound system. With all system components connected, turn on source equipment (mixers, signal processors, record and playback units etc.) BEFORE powering up amplifiers. Transient voltages from powering up source equipment can damage speakers if amplifiers are already turned on. Make sure that amplifier volumes are set to their minimum settings and power up any system amplifiers LAST. It is recommended that all system components be allowed to stabilize for few seconds before any source signals are introduced or level setting adjustments are made. Similarly, when shutting systems down, turn all amplifiers off first, before powering down any other system components. 5. CABLES Do not use shielded or microphone cables for connection between amplifiers and speakers. Use only approved speaker cables with proper connectors. 6. RIGGING SUSPENDING MOUNTING RIGGING Suspending and mounting of these speaker systems can expose members of the public to serious health risks and even death. Under no circumstances attempt to rig, suspend or otherwise mount these speakers unless you are fully qualified and certified to do so by relevant local, state and national authorities. All relevant safety regulations must be followed. If you are not properly qualified or do not know of pertinent regulations, consult qualified personnel for advice. 7. CAUTION These professional loudspeaker systems are capable of generating very high sound pressure levels. Use care with placement and operation to avoid exposure to excessive volume levels. Permanent hearing damage can result when operated to extreme levels. 8. SERVICE There are no user serviceable parts inside this product. Users should not attempt to service this product. Warranty nullification could result if this is attempted. 2 USER MANUAL INTRODUCTION Wharfedale Pro WLA-12MX and WLA-15MX loudspeakers are the result of many years of experience in the use, design and manufacture of professional loudspeaker products.
