The driver suspension will prematurely dry out and finished surfaces may be degraded bylong-term exposure to intense ultra-violet (UV) light.The VRX Series loudspeakers can generate considerable energy. When placed on a slippery surface such aspolished wood or linoleum, the speaker may move due to its acoustical energy output. Precautions should betaken to assure that the speaker does not fall off a stage or table on which it is placed.Make sure the selected AC line voltage is correct.STAND MOUNTING SAFETY PRECAUTIONSSome VRX Series models can be used with an optional stand mount accessory allowing mounting on tripodstands or on a pole over subwoofers.
