Tripod and Floor Monitor Operation
Floor Monitor Electro-Voice ZxA1 loudspeakers may be used as a floor monitor by placing the speaker on the integral monitor angle. Make sure to: · Place the speaker on a level, stable surface that is solid and secure. · Route cables and position the stand so that performers, production crew and audience members will not trip over the stand or cables and pull the speaker system over. Tripod Electro-Voice ZxA1 speakers include 35mm (1-3/8 inch) stand mounts to allow mounting on tripod stands. Make sure to: · Check the specifications of the speaker stand to be certain it is capable of supporting the weight of the speaker. · Check that the speaker stand is placed on a flat, stable surface and be sure to fully extend the legs of the stand. Do not try to make the stand "taller" and compromise its structural integrity. · Route cables and position the stand so that performers, production crew and audience members will not trip over the stand or cables and pull the speaker system over. · Do not attempt to suspend more than one speaker on a stand designed for a single speaker · Unless you are confident that you can safely handle lifting the weight of the speaker onto the stand, ask another person to help you place it. · Tighten the set screw to minimize rattling and to prevent the speaker from rotating during use.

Suspending ZxA1 Loudspeakers
Electro-Voice ZxA1 loudspeakers may be safely suspended with single stud fittings by using the MP1 suspension kit, or quickly attached to a truss by using the CA-Zx truss clamp adaptor (both sold seperately). WARNING: Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of rigging objects overhead. [. . . ] The MIC IN and LINE IN may both be used at the same time as a 2-channel mixer. If the LED is not lit upon turning the power on, make sure that the AC cord is correctly connected and the outlet is properly working. Locking IEC power cords may also be used.
