CAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

The engineering team of Better Music Builder is committed to designing safe audio products.

When installing the speaker on a wall or ceiling, it should be secured firmly using rigid anchor bolts to prevent it from coming off. Also, care should be taken with regard to the resonance of the mounting brackets caused by speaker operations.

Speakon Outputs

The upper Speakon jack has both Channel 1 and Channel 2 outputs, so it is especially useful for parallel, bi-amp, or BRIDGE mono operation. The other Speakon carries only Channel 2's output. See the illustrations at above.

8 4 2

If the speaker is operated at high output levels, the floor, wall or ceiling may vibrate, which will impair the sound quality.

NO GOOD

NOTE

Always be sure that the surface chosen for mounting is structurally capable of supporting the weight of the speaker. Do not mount more than one speaker into one Ceiling Mounting Bracket (optional). Also, avoid having sound absorbing material such as curtains, etc. on the wall or placing the speakers too close to the window.

CONNECTING THE SPEAKER FOR MODEL PS-308, PS-308A, PS-310 and PS-310A

NOTE

Please order the speakon cable for the active/powdered speaker (including PS-308A, PS-310A and PS-312A) inside the package and the passive/non-powdered speakers (including PS-308, PS-310 and PS-312) from our authorized dealers. The speakon cables are available in 20 feet, 30 feet and 50 feet.

NOTE

The equipment shown in the following diagram such as floor stand, TV, I Phone, wired microphone and PC is not included.

You can hook up the active/powered speaker with the passive/non-powered speakers, so a power amplifier is not needed for connection. Two input sources such as MP3 (including iPhone/iPod) and dynamic microphone can be added to the active/powered speaker.

VAROIUS SYSTEM APPLICATIONS

Appli cations

1. HIGH PORTABILITY

This speaker series are designed for high portability. They are very easy to carry. You may also use the freight cases to carry audio equipment to go everywhere with these speakers for rental and any purposes.

2. HIGH POWER

This speaker series have two types of speakers: active/powered speaker and passive/non-powered speaker. When using the active/powered speaker alone, the output power is limited to 300 watts. For more than 300 watts in output, two passive/non-powered speakers and a high-power amplifier are required to generate higher power over 600 watts. Therefore, it would produce much higher power.

INSTALLATION SETUP

1. MOUNTING THE SPEAKER TO THE WALL

STEP : Place the wall mount panel on the wall and put three or more screws to fasten it.

STEP : Then, put the speaker firmly onto the mount.

NOTE

The structure of the wall must be strong enough to hold up to 100 pounds.

How to Adjust the Wall Mount (SL-001)

Adjust the wall mount left/right at 180 degree and up/down at 90 degree for rotation at different angles to achieve the best sound effect. Once you have set up the right position, then you can use the screw to tight it up. Part Number: SL-001 (Optional) for wall mount.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Troublesh ooting

1. SYMPTOM: NO SOUND ON ACTIVE/POWERED SPEAKER.

Probable cause:

The A/C power of the active/powered speaker is not turned on.

Remedy:

Turn on the A/C power.

2. SYMPTOM: NO SOUND ON PASSIVE/ NON-POWERED SPEAKER.

Probable causes:

A. The A/C power of the active/powered speaker is not

turned on.

B. The speakon connection from the active/powered speaker to the passive/non-powered speaker is done properly.

Remedy:

Check the connection and make sure that it is connected properly.

3. SYMPTOM: NOISES FROM THE SPEAKER.

Probable causes:

The A/C power cord of the active/powered speaker is not grounded.

Remedy:

Change a new magnet cord of the A/C power cord.

Remedy:

A. Check the connection between the microphone and the active/powered speaker. Make sure that they are connected properly. For condense microphone, it doesn't work with the active/powered speaker. You may need to change to a dynamic vocal microphone.

B. Turn the volume on the "VUX Volume" to an appropriate level. If the volume is still not high enough, you may need to upgrade your existing audio system to a system with much higher output.

6. SYMPTOM: CRACKING NOISES FROM THE SPEAKER.

Probable causes:

The tweeter may burn out.

Remedy:

Change a new tweeter. Note: we recommend you hiring a professional to help you change a tweeter in order to do it properly.

7. SYMPTOM: SOUNDS LIKE DAZZ, DAZZ, DAZZ ........

COMING FROM THE SPEAKER.

Probable causes:

The speakon cable (with small gauges) is over 100 feet for connection.

Remedy:

Change to a cable with 12 or 14 gauges or a high quality cable with bigger size.

4. SYMPTOM: MUSIC LEVEL IS TOO LOW.

Probable causes:

Line volume is not adjusted properly.

Remedy:

Adjust the line volume on the front panel of the active/powered speaker. After adjusting the line volume to maximum level but still low in volume, it means that the sound system does not have sufficient output power. You may need to add an extra speaker to increase the volume.

5. SYMPTOM: MICROPHONE VOLUME IS TOO LOW.

Probable causes:

A. The microphone is poorly connected to the "AUX

Volume" of the active/powered speaker.
