The system can be stored in -30°C to 70°C temperatures.

* Fahrenheit conversion: approximately -23°F to 158°F

=== {{F1}} ===

Yes. The system can be used inside or outside. However, it must never be exposed to precipitation or extended periods of direct sunlight. In cases of light rain, take precautions to cover the back panel of the loudspeaker. Water must not get into the air inlet slits inside the back I/O panel, handle recess or front grille.

The system has been tested to operate in temperatures from 0° – 50° C (32° – 122° F), and be stored in temperatures from -30° – 70° C (-22° – 158° F).

Officially we rate our products (and guarantee operation) down to 0 C. We rigorously torture them down at these levels in unimaginable ways to make sure they work perfectly during the cold and after.

But of course you are asking about -10 C. While we haven't officially fully tested down to those levels I am confident you won't have any problems. The speakers will certainly be fine. The ~~powerstand~~ and electronics will heat up quickly to above 0 C internally and be fine.

If you ~~waned~~ to be extra cautious, when you get to the gig just plug in the ~~L1's~~ and turn them on. Let them run with no sound ('idle') for a few minutes. As I was saying, this will bump the internal electronics temperature up to above 0 C.
