VERSE XSIDER 15 [16/56] Pole and tripod safety recommendations

POLEANDTRIPODSAFETYRECOMMENDATIONS

This manual assumes that the owners and/or users of a VERSE System are knowledge-

able and experienced in the areas of Pole and Tripod use with loudspeaker systems.

he suspension of large, heavy objects on Pole or Tripod in public places is subject to nu-

merous laws and regulations at the national/federal, state/provincial, and local levels,

that are not addressed in this manual.

However, the user must assume responsibility for making sure that use of any VERSE

system, its components and all the stands and poles and associated hardware in any par-

ticular circumstance or venue conforms to all applicable laws and regulations in force at

the time.

WHEN USING STANDS OR POLES, BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS.

CHECK THE STAND OR POLE SPECIFICATION TO BE CERTAIN THE DEVICE IS DESIGNED TO

SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER. OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SPECIFIED

BY THE MANUFACTURER.

MAKE SURE THAT THE SURFACE ON WHICH THE SYSTEM IS TO BE STACKED IS FLAT, STA-

BLE AND SOLID.

ROUTE CABLES SO THAT PERFORMERS, PRODUCTION CREW, AND AUDIENCE WILL NOT

TRIP AND TOPPLE THE SPEAKERS.

INSPECT THE STAND (OR POLE AND ASSOCIATED HARDWARE) BEFORE EACH USE AND

DO NOT USE EQUIPMENT WITH WORN, DAMAGED, OR MISSING PARTS.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PLACE MORE THAN ONE VERSE LOUDSPEAKER ON A STAND OR

POLE.

ALWAYS BE CAUTIOUS WHEN DEPLOYING THE SYSTEM OUTDOORS. UNEXPECTED WINDS

MAY TOPPLE A SYSTEM.

IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO PLACE ADDITIONAL WEIGHT (I.E.SANDBAGS) ON THE BASE OF

THE STAND TO IMPROVE STABILITY. AVOID ATTACHING BANNERS OR SIMILAR ITEMS TO

ANY PART OF A SPEAKER SYSTEM. SUCH ATTACHMENTS COULD ACT AS A SAIL AND TOP-

PLE THE SYSTEM.

UNLESS YOU ARE CONFIDENT THAT YOU CAN HANDLE THE WEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER,

ASK ANOTHER PERSON TO HELP YOU GET IT ONTO THE TRIPOD STAND OR POLE.

Whenever the VERSE speakers are going to be installed on a tripod, make sure that the

system stability is granted, in order to avoid toppling. The stability is determined by the

speaker placement height and the legs spread.

Whenever the VERSE speakers are placed on a pole, using a properly arranged sub-

woofer speaker as support, the maximum stable height, granting stability and no top-

pling of the system, depends on the subwoofer speaker dimensions.
