Cooling
This is a powered loudspeaker containing an internal power amplifier that produces heat. Allow a minimum of 50cm
(20in) clearance around the cabinet for convection cooling. Keep anything that might restrict airflow away from the rear of
the enclosure (i.e draperies, walls, etc.)
CAUTION!: Do not install enclosures with their rear panels exposed to direct sunlight. Direct sunlight will
heat the amplifier module and reduce its ability to produce full output. Install sunshades if needed. Maximum
ambient temperature for full performance to specification is 50° C (122° F). Do not install enclosures where
exposed to rain or other water sources. The enclosure is not weatherproof. Outdoor installations must provide
protection from the elements.
