TannoyProfessionalhardwarehasbeendesignedforusewithspecicTannoyProfessionalloudspeakers,andis
notdesignedorintendedforusewithanyotherTannoyProfessionalproducts,oranyotherdevices.Using
TannoyProfessionalhardwareforanypurposeotherthanthatindicatedinthisguideisconsideredtobe
improperuse.Suchusecanbeverydangerous:overloading,modifying,damaging,orassemblinginamanner
otherthanthatclearlystatedintheOperationManualwillcompromisesafety.Thecomponentpartsofany
TannoyProfessionalhardwaredevicemustonlybeassembledusingtheaccessorykitssuppliedandinstrict
compliancewiththeOperationManual.Theuseofotheraccessoriesornon-approvedmethodsofassembly
mayresultinanunsafehardwaresystembyreducingtheloadsafetyfactor.Welding,oranyothermethodof
permanentlyxinghardwarecomponentstogetherortotheintegralxingpointsinthecabinet,shouldneverbeused.
WheneveraTannoyProfessionalloudspeakerisxedtoasurfaceusingaTannoyProfessionalhardwaredevice,
