1. Safety note and general information
• Information on the risk of exposure to high sound level
• APG loudspeakers are liable to generate levels of sound pressure hazardous to health, which may
cause hearing impairment. It is recommended that you never stand in the immediate vicinity of the
loudspeakers in operation and wear hearing protection when necessary. Observe the maximum
exposure time to noise according to the noise level and the regulations in force in your country.
Pay attention to the hearing protection of listeners when using APG systems.
• Read this manual before use and keep it.
• Read all documents relating to the product to be used before setting up and using it. Please
contact APG with any questions relating to the product.
• Obtain the latest version of the user manual from the APG website: www.apg.audio .
• Consider all warnings and follow the instructions and recommendations for use.
• Make sure you know the safety rules for hanging, stacking or setting up on a pole or tripod. Failure
to follow these rules may expose people to potential injury or death.
• Ensure the safety of operators and spectators.
• Staff must wear personal protective equipment (PPE) during each step of installing the product
(helmet, gloves, safety shoes at a minimum).
• Installation of APG products should only be carried out by qualified staff trained in rigging
techniques and aware of the safety recommendations set out in this manual.
• Always check the stability, resistance to weight, flatness and horizontality of the support. Prevent
access to the spectators around the system, prevent it being possible to push or climb the stack
of speakers. Use straps to prevent tipping.
• Do not store the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table.
• Use the products with the specified accessories by the manufacturer.
• Inspect lifting products and accessories before each use.
• Do not install equipment that is faulty or presents a risk of breakage and have it repaired by
qualified personnel or by APG.
• Entrust all repairs to qualified staff or by APG. Repairs are mandatory if the device is damaged in
any way, for example: damaged power cord or plug, spilled liquid or object dropped inside the
device, exposure of the device rain or moisture for long periods of time, appliance that does not
operate normally or that has been dropped.
• Any unauthorized maintenance operation will void the product warranty.
• Perform safety and compliance checks of accessories, enclosures, and third-party accessories
periodically at least once a year.
• Respect the maximum load capacity of each configuration and carry out conformity simulations
using the tools APG Tools, APG Uniline Aiming Tool, AFMG EASE Focus 3.
• Use only with a cart, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. If a cart is used, move the cart-apparatus combination carefully so as not to tip it over,
which could cause personal injury.
• Do not install near a heat source such as an open flame, radiator, heat register, stove or any other
device that produces heat (including amplifiers).
• Do not expose the product to extreme conditions such as humidity (rain, sea water, condensation,
ambient humidity, etc.), excessive heat (sun, heating, etc.) over a long period.
• Take into account the effects of the wind. Flying loudspeakers overhead at wind forces higher
than, 16 mph (25km/h) is not recommended. If the wind force exceeds 46 mph (72km/h):
- Make sure that no person remains in the vicinity of the loudspeaker array.
- Lower and secure the array.
• During an outdoor performance, it is advisable to find out about the weather conditions and
to follow the local weather report and the recommendations of the competent authorities. An
anemometer can be used at the top of the system.

2. The iX range
2.1 Description of the product line
iX Series is a range of 5 high-quality speakers dedicated to professional installations.
Aesthetic and compact, they deliver a high sound level while offering a high quality of sound reproduction. Their bandwidth
has been designed to allow wideband use of loudspeakers and meet the requirements of users up to high power musical
applications. Their homogeneous dispersion makes them ideal for applications of short and medium range sound systems,
additional diffusion and spatial sound systems.
Designed for fixed installation, the iX Series speakers feature ergonomic options for quick and easy installation.
The combination of coaxial technology and proprietary ‘APG NDB’ baffling allows a distortion-free and uniform sound
distribution for a pure and faithful result throughout the sound space for the enjoyment of listeners.
APG NDB - No Diffraction Baffle
Harmoniously extending the coaxial transducer, the anti-diffraction ‘APG NDB’ baffle allows
a perfect adaptation of the enclosure to its environment
