1 Introduction
WARNING・ These loudspeakers must be installed by a qualified technician as it involves such tasks as selecting a location for
installation, drilling holes in walls/ceiling and wiring. Have the installer carefully follow the installation instructions.
・ Certain technical skills are required to install the loudspeaker. Please have the product installed by a professional.
・ Pioneer DJ is not responsible for any loss or damage that results from improper installation, insufficient strength of
installation materials, misuse, modification or natural disasters.

1.1 Before you start・ Make sure to use amplifiers with rated load impedances that match the speaker impedance for the amplifiers
connected to each loudspeaker.
・ Furthermore, any devices or objects easily affected by magnetism (floppy disks, magnetic cards, magnetic tape etc.)
should be kept well away from the speakers.
In order to prevent damage to the loudspeaker resulting from input overload, please observe the following precautions:・ If you supply amplification power to the loudspeaker excessively, the speaker could be damaged and overheating could
cause a hazard.
・ Only connect, turn ON or OFF the audio system or any one part (such as DJ player and Mixer) when the power to theamplifier is turned off. If any operations are performed while the amplifier is turned on, there is the possibility ofdamaging the treble frequency speaker unit.
・ When using a graphic equaliser to emphasise loud sounds in the high-frequency range, do not use excessive amplifiervolume.
・ Do not try to force a low-powered amplifier to produce high sound levels as the amplifier’s harmonic distortion will be
increased, and you may damage the speaker.
・ These loudspeakers require properly adjusted signal inputs optimized for each speaker units. Otherwise speaker units
may deteriorate even if the power is below the power handling capacity.

CAUTION: installation
・ Ensure that the floor or stage surface can withstand the weight of the system.
・ The installation technician must follow professional installation techniques to protect the loudspeaker against falling.
・ When installing the speakers, make sure that the wall/ceiling is strong enough to support the speakers.
・ Improper installation of the speakers could cause them to fall and cause damage or injuries to persons nearby.
・ Do not attempt to stack devices together for use other than specified systems. Such devices may become unstable andtip over or fall, leading to injury. Make sure to secure each device in place using the pole mount, ratchet straps or otherhardware to prevent them from tipping over or falling when stacking devices together. Pioneer DJ shall accept noliability for damage or injury caused by accidents resulting from Pioneer products tipping over or falling due to them
being insufficiently secured.
・ Switch off and unplug your power amplifier and consult the instructions when connecting up components. Make sure
you use the correct connecting cables.
・ Keep magnetic objects such as screwdrivers or steel parts away from the tweeter and woofer speakers. Since thespeakers use strong magnets, the objects may be attracted, causing injury or damaging the diaphragm.
・ Do not install the loudspeaker in areas exposed to direct sunlight or near heating appliances. Such conditions may
result in shrinkage of the wood materials and finish, leading to deformation of the enclosure, discolouration, or
damage to the speakers. Conditions considered unpleasant by humans are detrimental to speakers as well. Providing a
comfortable environment for the speakers will assist them in demonstrating their best performance. Please maintainthe usage environment as follows:
Temperature:
Relative Humidity:

15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F)
35 % to 65 % (winter)
40 % to 70 % (summer)
・ Do not store speakers at temperatures outside of the rated temperature range as doing so may cause the speaker todrop in performance or become damaged.
Storage temperature range:–20 °C to +55 °C (–4 °F to +131 °F)
・ Do not use the product in locations subject to extreme fluctuations in temperature. Doing so could cause the productto malfunction.
・ When using room air-conditioners or stoves to rapidly cool or heat room spaces, take precautions to avoid excessive
dehumidification.
・ Avoid placing the speaker near areas such as windows, as outside air can cause condensation to occur within the
speaker.

For Europe
If you want to dispose of this product, do not mix it with general household waste. There is aseparate collection system for used electronic products in accordance with legislation that requires
proper treatment, recovery and recycling.
Private households in the member states of the EU, in Switzerland and Norway may return their used electronic
products free of charge to designated collection facilities or to a retailer (if you purchase a similar new one).
For countries not mentioned above, please contact your local authorities for the correct method of disposal.
By doing so you will ensure that your disposed product undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling andthus prevent potential negative effects on the environment and human health.

The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly
without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can bedeceiving. Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal” canactually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE yourhearing adapts.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:・ Set your volume control at a low setting.
・ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
・ Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
・ Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
・ Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
・ Do not use headphones while operating a motorised vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and isillegal in many areas.

3 Rigging And Caster Setting
3.1 Before Setting
3.1.1 Guide for safe use
Improper installation of the speakers could cause them to fall and cause damage or injuries to persons nearby. Pleasecheck the following conditions of all the loudspeakers in this series always before they are rigged.

WARNING:INTENDED USAGE
Do not use any other method than the one prescribed in this manual.
The XY Series rigging components must only be used in conjunction with the XY Series loudspeakers.

SAFETY CAUTIONS
Ensure and check all the speaker riggings are sufficiently secure to be used before using them. Damaged components
must be withdrawn from use immediately.
Ensure the supplied bolts are used to fix the rigging accessories instead of the pre-inserted screws.
Any installation (permanent or temporary) must be securely attached to the structure of the building using chain, steel
wire or web straps that are certified and load rated for the loudspeaker system.
Consideration must be taken when determining the loading on the structure to include loudspeakers and rigging
hardware, and the appropriate safety factor can then be decided upon. If you are in any doubt whatsoever, pleasecontact the retailer or dealer from which you purchased this product. A reputable rigging organisation should also beable to advise on legislation regarding safety factors for suspended systems of this type.
Be sure to use the supplied accessory screws.
Small parts such as flat washer, spring washer and nut out of the reach of children and infants. If accidentally swallowed,
contact a doctor immediately.

EYEBOLT STRENGTH
When you use any commercially-available eyebolts, please use the eyebolts
meeting the following size and specification:

NOTE: XY-3B is shown in the illustration.

NOTE only for XY-3B:
The nuts of the threaded fixing points on XY-3B are structured so thatbolts cannot pass through them. (max threaded length is 15mm.)

Adjusting the direction of eyebolt
Screw the eye bolts into the nuts so that they are engaged within the range of
10 to 15 mm (0.39 to 0.59 in.) and then tighten the nuts with a spanner while
matching the direction of the eye bolts to fix them in place. (Fig. 3-1-1-A)

Fig. 3-1-1-A

0 ～ +/- 45 [deg]The safe working load limits of an eyebolt are different depending on an
inclined angle of the wire attached to the eyebolt. If the suspension angle of thewire attached to the eyebolt is inclined (not vertical) and correctly oriented in
the plane of pull, be sure to read the catalogue of the eye bolt for details of thesafe working load limits depending on the inclined angle. It is generally
recommended that an angle of the wire attached to the eye bolt correctly
oriented in the plane of pull be 45 degrees at maximum. Do not suspend theeye bolts as shown in the right figure. (Fig. 3-1-1-B)

Fig. 3-1-1-B

THE SECONDARY SAFETY FEATURE
The secondary safety feature must be used to prevent the speaker from falling. Eye bolts to be used as secondary safety
feature are not included with the products. When you use any commercially-available eyebolts, the above-listed safe
working load limits and other specifications should be met.
With any suspension method, a second anchor point should be used as safety feature.
Ensure a wire or a chain to be used as secondary safety feature is securely suspended vertically from the ceiling or wall.
If such a wire or a chain is suspended from the inclined ceiling or wall, or it is horizontally suspended, the wire or
the chain would not be effective to prevent an accidental fall.
Do not use the double safety hoisting accessory enclosure connection together with the main hoisting accessory
connection.
An appropriate length of wire or chain should be used as second safety feature. It is generally recommended that thefall prevention wire be 100 mm longer than the main suspension wire/chain/tool.
If the wire or the chain is too long, it would not be effective enough to prevent an accidental fall.

AFTER INSTALLATION
After installation, you must confirm that the speakers are safely installed. You must also periodically check them to makesure that they are still safe.
After installing the speaker, never loosen any of its screws, since the speaker could fall or other accidents could occur.
You must confirm that the speakers are safely installed right afeter earthquake.

CAUTION:
PREPARING THE CABINET
Pre-inserted M10 and M8 screws are mounted in the top, bottom, rear, left andright side of the loudspeaker enclosure. These screws are painted in the cabinet
color.
Follow the steps below to ensure the cabinet paint is not peeled off during
unscrewing.
(1) Make a small slit around the pre-inserted screws using an appropriate
cutting knife.
