Using these JBL loudspeakers is easy. Just connect them to your audio source, like a mixer or amplifier, and you're good to go. As for precautions, make sure to place them on a stable surface to avoid any accidental falls. When it comes to maintenance, although the rust on the grills doesn't affect performance, you can clean the grills gently with a soft brush to keep them looking decent. Also, store them in a dry place to prevent further rusting or damage.
