DESCRIPION

The speakers F8. F10, F12 and F15 of FLEXSYS series use cutting edge digital

®

amplifiers of the DIGIPRO series, providing with powers 200W and 400W to meet the
requirements of any kind of application.

These highly efficient amplifiers provide high power with limited weight and dimension.
Thanks to the low power dissipated, the cooling of the amplifier module does not require a
fan.

The digital preamplifier with DSP (Digital Signal Processing) controls the audio crossover
between the acoustic components, the frequency response, the limiter, and the acoustic
alignment. A selector enables to select one of two different equalizations - “FLAT” or
“PROCESSED“ - to provide high versatility for the different applications.

®

The amplifiers DIGIPRO 400W use power supplies featuring SMPS (Switched-Mode
Power Supplies) technology.

This technology increases power supply efficiency and minimizes its weight.

COMMANDS AND FUNCTIONS

AMPLIFIER PANEL

1) “Balenced Input” - “Link” - “Input Link” CONNECTORS

These balanced inputs can be used to connect balanced or unbalanced
microphones or audio sources at line level (0dB) (eg. preamplifier, mixer,
recorder, CD player, musical instrument, ...).
The balanced connector is connected in parallel and can be used to send the
audio signal to other amplified speakers, recorders or supplementary amplifiers.

2) “Ready” INDICATOR LIGHT

This indicator shows green to indicate that the main power voltage is correct.
The LED shows green normal operating conditions.

3) “Signal” INDICATOR LIGHT

This indicator shows green to indicate the presence of the audio signal (at a level of

-20dB).

4) “Limiter” INDICATOR LIGHT

This indicator shows red to indicate that the internal limiter circuit has tripped.
This prevents amplifier distortion and protects the speakers against overloads.

5) “Sensitivity” INPUT SENSITIVITY CONTROL

This control adjusts the sensitivity of the signal amplifier input.
This control does not affect the “Link” - “Input - Link” output level

6) MODE SWITCH

This two-way switch allows to choose between two different system presets.
The “Flat” position allows linear response of the speaker, which is mainly suitable
for the “live” application.
The “Processed” position emphasizes the low frequency and regulates the mid
frequency. It is suitable for music play back

7) “Input Sens” SWITCH

Position the switch in LINE to use a line level source (0 dB) or MIC to use a
microphone.

8) POWER CABLE SOCKET “MAINS”

Used for connecting the power cable supplied.

CHARACTERISTICS AND PROTECTION

The speakers’s components in the box are protected by 1.2mm metal steel grille covered
by foam on backside.

Perform the checks listed below:

- Check if the speaker is properly connected to the power supply.

- Make sure that the power supply is of correct voltage.

- Check that the amplifier is not overheated.

- Disconnect the speaker from the mains power supply, wait for a few minutes and
connect it again.

If after these tests the red “LIMITER” LED is still on, please contact an authorised service
centre.

Front Grille

Cooling

Thermal control is provided by the internal microprocessor which, by means of two
sensors, controls the temperature of the amplifier and of the power supply, avoiding
overheating by limiting the overall volume.

In case of overheating (> 80 degrees) the volume decreases proportionally to the
temperature increase, making the change unnoticeable.

The correct volume and all the functions are automatically restored when standard
operating temperatures are reached.

Switch on

The amplifiers are equipped with a microprocessor to control the DSP and the amplifier.
The correct switch on of the amplifier is ensured by an initialization procedure; during this

test stage, the blue front LED flashes twice and the LEDs ( Limiter , Signal and Ready ),
located on the amplifier module, remain off for approx. 2 sec.
At the end of the switch on procedure, the front LED lights up (if enabled) and on the
amplifier module the Ready green LED only remains steadily on.

In case of severe failure of the speaker, the LED on the front panel flashes several times
and on the amplifier module, the Limiter red LED flashes and the speaker switches to
“mute”.

Failure indications and safeties

The microprocessor is able to signal three different kinds of failure by flashing the “Limter”
red LED on the amplifier panel before the lighting up of the “Ready” green LED. The three
types of failure are:

1) WARNING: a non severe error or auto-ripristinate malfunction is detected and the
performance of the speaker is not limited

2) LIMITATION: an error is detected and the performance of the speaker is limited (the
sound level is reduced by 3dB).

This does not affect the operation of the speaker since it continues to operate.

However, it is necessary to call the service centre to solve the issue.

3) FAILURE: a severe malfunction is detected. The speaker switches to “mute”.

Flashing Indication

1 or 2 Warning
3 or 4 Limitation
from 5 to 8 Failure

In case of failure, the “Ready” green LED remains off.

DESCRIPTION

The FLEXSYS series bi-amped speakers are equipped with

®

DIGIPRO series class D amplifier. This high-efficiency
amplifier delivers high output power in a compact size at low
weight. Thanks to its high efficiency the cooling of the
amplifier module is obtained statically, thus avoiding the use
of a fan.

®

The power supply circuits of the DIGIPRO amplifier has
been conceived to work in full-range mode; thanks to the
SMPS (Switched-Mode Power Supply) technology with PFC
(Power Factor Correction) the operation with supply voltages
between 100 Vac and 240Vac is guaranteed by ensuring the
same sound performances even with floating and non­stabilized power supply systems.

FLEXSYS F212 (2 ways)

The F212 bi-amped active speaker is equipped with a

®

DIGIPRO amplifier which delivers 500W RMS for the bass
section and 250W RMS for the high frequency section.

The F212 active two-way speaker features two 12” (voice coil

2.5”) woofers and a neodymium 1”(voice coil 1.75”)
compression driver. The phase plug attached to the front of
the upper 12” woofer avoids the vertical phase modulation
which usually take place in this type of configuration and
ensures a precise horizontal coverage of the medium
frequencies.

The speaker is made of 15mm birch ply wood, the 4 handles,
the 12 M10 threads located on the sides and the back of the
speaker are enabling easy transport and installation.

The trapezoidal-shaped housing (20° angle) allows the side­by-side setup of several speakers in cluster configuration. For
side-by-side installation, the horn must be turned (40° x 60°)!

The bottom features a adjustable foot (in height) to inclinate
the tilt angle up to a max. of 5°. This allows to direct the sound
radiation without using additional supports.

In the bottom of the box there is a standard pole mount cup
(D36mm) made of aluminium

FLEXSYS F315 (3 ways)

®

The F315 active speaker is equipped with a DIGIPRO
amplifier delivering 500W RMS for the bass section featuring
a 15” woofer (voice coil 3”) and 500W RMS for the mid-high
section featuring a passive filter driving a 6” midrange (voice
coil 2”) and a 1” compression driver (voice coil 1.5”).

The speaker is made of 15mm birch ply wood, the 4 handles,
the 12 M10 threads located on the sides and the back of the
speaker are enabling easy transport and installation

The 15” woofer and the midh-high section with horizontal 90°
coverage is the ideal solution for all demanding full-range
applications .

CHARACTERISTICS

Front Grille

The speakers’s components in the buffle are protected by 1.5mm metal steel grille
covered by foam on backside.

Cooling

The amplifier is cooled by means of the aluminium panel placed on the back of the
speaker.

The thermal protection is ensured by an internal circuit which controls the temperature of
the amplifier and protects this against any risk of overheating thus limiting the general
volume ( temperature >80°C).

If the temperature reaches the maximum operating temperature (>80°C), the audio signal
is set to the “MUTE” position and it will be indicated by the switching on of the yellow
“MUTE” LED.

The requiriered volume and all functions will be restored automatically when the normal
operating temperatures are reached.

Protection
When the yellow “MUTE” LED turns on, it means that a malfunction has been detected on
the speaker, thus setting this to the mute position.

Perform the checks listed below:

- Check if the speaker is properly connected to the power supply.

- Make sure that the power supply is of correct voltage.

- Check that the amplifier is not overheated.

- Disconnect the speaker from the mains power supply, wait for a few minutes and
connect it again.

If after these tests the yellow “MUTE” LED is still on, please contact an authorised service
centre.

CONNECTIONS (Only for FLEXSYS F212)

Connecting to the mains supply

Each active speaker features its own power cable. Connection is done by a Neutrik
POWER CON® (blue) model which permits easy and fast connection to the speaker as
well as being an excellent locking system.

The same connector serves as a switch to turn ON and OFF the active loudspeaker by
turning the connector to the left (OFF) or right (ON).

The active speaker must be connected to a power supply able to deliver the maximum
required power.

Main power supply linking

On the rear of the speaker, a Neutrik POWER CON® connector (grey) offers linking the
mains power supply.

This socket links the power supply to another speaker, thereby reducing the direct
connections to the mains. Maximum amplifier input power is shown on the amplifier
panel.
The maximum number of speakers connected together varies of max input power and
of the maximum allowed current of the first power socket.
