- Use sufficient loudspeakers and avoid death spots.
- No main power shall be connected to the loudspeakers.
- This apparatus should only be serviced by qualified personnel. If not, the warranty might be void.
- Removal of the grill causes risk to loudspeaker damage.

Wiring
Two parallel wired speakon 4 connectors are available (wired +1/-1).
To avoid confusion, use cables which have clear (colour) codes, so correct polarity can be maintained. Also use wires of the right gauge, certainly for longer distances.
Overload Protection
All MASK models have a unique overload protection, which only comes into the signal path when needed. When too much power is fed into your MASK, fi rst a red led will blink. When you neglect this warning, the overload protection will disconnect the signal going to the loudspeakers and the red led will remain on. Turn down the level and after about 5 seconds cooling down your favourite music will be heard again. When you don’t want to work on your client’s nerves, don’t activate the overload protection !
