If it could reasonably be used in a small theatre or venue with power supplied to the site at 230/400 V, then it needs to meet commercial/light industrial requirements. If it is extremely probable that it would be used only in large theatres and venues with power supplied to the site at Medium Voltage, then it may not be necessary for it to meet EN61000-3-2 and -3 or -11 (and -12 when published) but, because of the other electronic equipment used in close proximity, it had still better meet the other commercial/light industrial requirements. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
