SECTION 6 : RIGGING AND SUSPENSION Safety Precautions Before attempting to suspend your speakers, read and understand the following safety information. IMPORTANT RIGGING SAFETY WARNING! The information in this section has been assembled from recognized engineering data and is intended for informational purposes only. None of the information in this section should be used without first obtaining competent advice with respect to applicability to a given circumstance.
General Hardware Information Any hardware used in an overhead suspension application must be load rated for the intended use. Generally, this type of hardware is available from rigging supply houses; industrial supply catalogs and specialized rigging distributors. Local hardware stores do not usually stock these products. Attachment to Structures A licensed Professional Engineer must approve placement and method of attachment to structures prior to installation of any overhead object.

SECTION 7 : JBL DRIVEPACK® TECHNOLOGY Introduction to the JBL DrivePack® DPC-2 Integrated Audio System JBL DrivePack equipped loudspeakers are a family of fully integrated audio systems, coupling industryleading loudspeaker technology to a combination of comprehensive digital signal processing and advanced amplifier technology, perfectly matched to the enclosures to deliver superb audio quality and powerful performance.
AC POWER REQUIREMENTS JBL DrivePack® DPC-2 systems are equipped with a DP multi-channel Crown Dual-Bridged Technology™ power amplifier and loudspeaker specific DSP electronics and require appropriate AC power. CAUTION: In compliance with safety agency criteria and proper system operation, it is critical that the system installer observe all electrical safety practices at all times and provide proper earth grounding for all AC Power connections.

Amplifier Protection Features Thermal Management: JBL DrivePack® systems are cooled by Passive Convection. No fans are used in any part of the thermal management system. To maintain efficient cooling it is a good practice to assure open space around the DrivePack units. In the event of excessive exposure to direct sunlight in very hot ambient conditions, it is possible that the unit may overheat and will automatically shut down to protect itself.
SECTION 8 : INPUT PANEL INFORMATION Input Controls, Indicators, Connectors and Features JBL DrivePack®--C systems are equipped with a multi-function input bay and provides flexible connectivity options for both audio and AC power. Audio Signal Distribution Connecting source audio signals to the input modules on JBL DrivePack systems is similar to daisy-chaining multiple external amplifier channels together.
