Congratulations - Welcome to the Cerwin-Vega Family! You've joined a growing group of audio
professionals who have turned to Cerwin-Vega for the most advanced audio reproduction systems
available. All Cerwin-Vega products are thoroughly tested to ensure that they meet or exceed our
performance specifications. Backed by the best service in the industry, Cerwin-Vega is dedicated to
quality and reliability.
Before You Begin
The Cerwin-Vega CVE powered speaker series covered by this guide are designed for portable and
certain fixed applications in which the speakers will be stacked directly on a floor, stage, stable
platform, or mounted on a tripod stand, pole-mount, or flown properly using the CVE wall bracket.
Cerwin-Vega does not support suspension of the subwoofer models covered by this guide nor are
these models intended for outdoor or high-moisture fixed installations. Moisture can damage the
speaker cone or surround and cause corrosion of electrical contacts so avoid exposing the speakers
to direct moisture.
Cerwin-Vega speakers can generate considerable energy. When placed on a slippery surface such as
polished wood or linoleum, the speaker may move due to its own vibration. Precautions should be
taken to assure that the speaker does not fall off a stage or table on which it is placed.
Some Cerwin-Vega speakers include a pole cup to allow mounting of a satellite speaker on top of the
subwoofer using a standard speaker pole shaft. When using a standard speaker pole shaft, be sure
to observe the following precautions:
• Check the speaker pole shaft specs to be certain it can support the weight of the speakers.
• Observe all safety precautions specified by the speaker pole shaft manufacturer.
• Always verify that the subwoofer is placed on a flat, level, and stable surface.
• Route cables so that foot traffic will not trip over them, toppling the speaker.
• Always be cautious in windy conditions as the stability of the entire system may be compromised.
Cerwin-Vega speakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure levels (SPL) sufficient to cause
permanent hearing damage to performers, production crew and audience members. Caution should
be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to SPL more than 90 dB(A).
