Use of the speaker
This speaker is designed to perform in professional environments. Either speech, music, or any other
type of sound can be played trough this speaker.
For optimal performance, a suitable PA-amplifier is needed. The Artis 10 has a maximum power of
150W RMS and is capable of handling a peak power of 450W.
Any PA-amplifier with about 2x 300W RMS power on 8 Ohm is suitable for this speaker, as the RMS
power is measured with a static sinus and not with music.
This also means that your PA-amplifier doesn’t have to work at full power when you desire optimal
performance and power from your speakers.
It is possible to connect a second Artis 10 speaker to the second output of your first Artis 10 speaker.
However, take notice that the impedance of your speaker system drops to 4 Ohm. Make sure your PAamplifier is suitable for this impedance or contact your local dealer if you have any doubts.
Use proper cable and proper connectors to connect your speakers and amplifier. Devine recommends
to use prefab speakercables which already come with mounted connectors. If you want to make your
own speakercables, use the +1 and -1 connectors on your lockable speaker connector to connect the
bare wires.
When making your own speaker cables, only use good quality speaker cable with at least 2x 1.5mm²
conductors. Thin wiring and high power may result in melting cables!
Use your ears to make sure you don’t blow up your speakers or cause any other damage to its internal
components. When you hear any distortion or when your PA-amplifier is clipping, you need to take
action and lower the volume on your mixer or amplifier.
This speaker comes with two monitor stands, which makes horizontal positioning possible. This
feature is often used when the speaker needs to perform as a floor monitor for artists.
Mount the monitor stands as illustrated below:
This speaker is also equipped with a lockable 35mm stand adapter, which makes it possible to place
the speaker on a suitable height. This makes the distribution of high and mid-frequencies easier. See
the image above for details. The lockable screw-knob positions the speaker firmly on your speaker
stand, thus preventing any type of resonance.
Warranty is void when damage to this speaker is caused by improper use. When any damage to this
speaker occurs, please contact your local dealer for help.
