Alto Professional and inMusic are not responsible for the misuse of its products caused by avoiding compliance with inspection and maintenance procedures. Please also refer to the included safety and warranty manual for more information. Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not connect Transport 12 to a power outlet while the grille is removed. Stand-Mounting Always install loudspeakers in accordance with applicable electrical and building codes. Install the loudspeaker according to its maximum weight. Check the specifications of your stand or pole to ensure it can support the loudspeakers weight. Also, observe all safety precautions specified by the manufacturer. Do not mount multiple loudspeakers on the same stand or pole. Always verify that the stand or pole is on a flat, level, and stable surface. Also, fully extend the legs of tripod-style stands, and ensure its legs do not present a trip hazard. Inspect the stand (or pole and associated hardware) before each use and do not use equipment with worn, damaged, or missing parts. Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions. You may need to place additional weight

(e.g., sandbags) on stands base to improve stability. Do not attach banners or similar items to any part of a loudspeaker system. Such attachments could act as a sail and topple the system. Unless you are confident that you can handle the loudspeakers weight, ask another person to help you lift it onto the stand or pole. Make sure your cables are out of the way of performers, production crew, and audience so they will not trip over them, pulling the loudspeaker off the stand or pole. Sound Level Permanent hearing loss may be caused by exposure to extremely high noise levels. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified permissible exposures to certain noise levels. According to OSHA, exposure to high sound pressure levels (SPL) in excess of these limits may result in hearing loss. When using equipment capable of generating high SPL, use hearing protection while such equipment is under operation. Hours per day SPL (dB) Example Small gig 8 Train 6 Subway train 4 3 High level desktop monitors Classical music concert 2 Riveting machine 1.5 1 Machine factory Airport 0.50 0.25 or less Rock concert 90 92 95 97 100 102 105 110 115 4 Setup Items not listed under Introduction > Box Contents are sold separately.

Very Important Please read this section before connecting this unit to your system:

For optimum performance:

All the slide faders are subject to wear. Excessive force can wear out the fader quickly. User replaceable slide faders are not a warranted item. Never use spray cleaners on the slide controls. Residues cause excessive dirt build-up and this will void your warranty. In normal use slide controls can last for many years. If they malfunction

(usually because of a dirty or dusty environment) consult a professional technician. Always make sure that AC power is OFF while making any connections. Use appropriate cables throughout your system. Do not use excessively long cables (i.e. over 32 feet / 10 meters). Be sure plugs and jacks are tightly mated. Loose connections can cause hum, noise or intermittents that could easily damage your speakers. Make the input and output connections with readily available low-capacitance stereo cables. Quality cable makes a big difference in audio fidelity and punch. See your Alto Pro dealer or an electronics or audio specialist store if you are not sure which cables to use. Never attempt to make any adjustments other than those described in this manual, or repairs. Take the unit to your dealer or to an authorized Alto Pro Service Center. Always remember: turn amps on last and off first. Begin with master faders or volume controls on minimum and the amplifier gain/input control(s) down. Wait 8 to 10 seconds before turning up the volume. This prevents transients which may cause severe speaker damage. Use restraint when operating controls. Try to move them slowly. Rapid adjustments could damage equipment due to amplifier clipping. Avoid amplifier clipping at all costs: this occurs when the red LEDs (usually on the front panel of most professional power amplifiers) start flashing. Clipping is when the power amplifier is distorting and working beyond its limits. Amplifier distortion is the main cause of speaker failure. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Never place cans of beer, soda, glasses of water or anything wet near or on top of the unit!

Headphone outputs can be set to levels which can cause damage to your ears. Use caution. This unit may contain a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that this should happen, turn off the unit, wait at least five seconds, and then turn it back on again. Under rare circumstances, if this product is exposed to electromagnetic interference during use, there may be a slight drop in signal-to-noise ratio. Intended electromagnetic environments: residential, commercial, light industrial, urban outdoors. 5 Important Safety Instructions 1. Read these instructions. 2. Keep these instructions. 3.

NOTICE CONCERNING FCC REGULATIONS: You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the part responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: (a) reorient or relocate the receiving antenna; (b) move this unit; (c) increase the separation between the equipment and receiver; (d) connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected; (e) be sure that all cables are properly shielded, using a choke or ferrite where appropriate; or (f) consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. For Canadian models:

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category II) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. This unit does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications. ESD/EFT Warning: This unit may contain a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lock up. In the unlikely event that this should happen, turn off the unit, wait at least five seconds, and then turn it back on again. The pins of connectors identified with this ESD warning symbol should not be touched. In an environment with radio frequency interference, the unit may malfunction and resume normal operation after removal of the interference. For best audio quality, avoid using this device in a high RF-radiated environment. For 240-volt use in U.K., use NEMA-style 240-volt plug. For other countries use proper plug for local outlet. Double-Insulated: When servicing use only identical replacement parts.

Disposing of General Purpose & Alkaline Batteries:

Alkaline batteries can be safely disposed of with normal household waste. Never dispose of batteries in fire because they could explode. Alkaline batteries are composed primarily of common metalssteel, zinc, and manganeseand do not pose a health or environmental risk during normal use or disposal. It is important not to dispose of large amounts of alkaline batteries in a group. Used batteries are often not completely dead. Grouping used batteries together can bring these live batteries into contact with one another, creating safety risks. Proven cost-effective and environmentally safe recycling processes are not yet universally available for alkaline batteries. Some communities offer recycling or collection of alkaline batteries. Contact your local government for disposal practices in your area. California Proposition 65 Warning: Warning: This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (California law requires this warning to be given to customers in the State of California.) 7
