4. INTRODUCTION
Ecler TRAIL103 is a 3” loudspeaker with the appearance of a lamp. It is fitted with a
three-fold installation system: in lighting rail, on a surface and using an adapter for a
truss or threaded bar. It includes connections for low impedance (4 ohm) and for high
impedance (15W and 30W). Available in white and black colours.
5. MAIN FEATURES
3" loudspeaker
Installation options in lighting rail (GLOBAL Trac Pro), on a surface and using an
adapter for a truss or threaded bar.
Connection for low impedance: 4 ohm.
Connection for high impedance: 15/30W connector
Available in white (RAL 9003) and in black (RAL 9005)

6. CONNECTING
The TRAIL103 accepts high or low impedance operation. In this regard, the rear panel is
fitted with 2 Euroblock connectors to allow for setting the work mode. The HI-Z INPUT
connector allows the system to operate in high impedance (100V line) and the LO-Z
INPUT connector in low impedance (*).
The 100V line connector makes it possible to set the maximum power with which each
unit will operate. So in areas where a low noise level is required, the 0 and 15W
terminals are used to connect the loudspeaker, while in areas here a higher level is
required, the 0 and 30W terminals are used.
Note: in the event of using the loudspeaker in 70V installations, the corresponding
power ratings for the 100V position are reduced to half those indicated in the connector
terminals. In the case of 50V installations, they are reduced to a quarter.
The low impedance connector allows for setting the loudspeakers so that they operate
under these conditions, with a maximum power rating of 30W. In the event of adopting
this setting, the limitations of the amplifier must be taken into account when connecting
several loudspeakers to the output, especially if the impedance of the unit falls below
4. Furthermore, it is important for the connecting cable joining the outputs on the
amplifier and the loudspeakers is good quality and as short as possible. This becomes
particularly important when the distances to cover are considerable and the loudspeaker
impedance is low.

Page 7
(*) Note: The loudspeaker distribution system on a 100V/70V line historically arose
from the technical need to mix loudspeakers with different impedances and/or power
ratings on the same line or amplification channel, all this without the need to be
concerned about the total impedance of the resulting whole. Additionally, this system
makes it possible, with minimum losses of impedance, to use long stretches of cable and
a slightly shorter section than that normally used in low impedance installations.
ATTENTION! : If the system is accidentally connected to an amplifier with a low
impedance output, via the high impedance terminals (HI-Z INPUT connector), no
damage will occur to the loudspeaker, but it will operate far below its performance
features. In the event of accidentally connecting the loudspeaker to a low impedance
100V network (LO-Z INPUT connector), this will seriously damage it.
7. LOCATION AND FITTING
The TRAIL1O3 offer different fitting systems. Included in the packing you will find all the
accessories needed for the different options: installation on a lighting rail, on a surface
(wall or ceiling) and in a threaded bar or truss.
The following rules should be followed:
At all times, install the unit on solid, firm surfaces if choosing to install on a surface
(ceiling/wall).
Installation on a lighting rail: TRAIL103 is compatible with 4 thread/3 circuit
lighting rail systems.
For good sound reproduction, there should be no obstacle between the
loudspeakers and those listening.
Adjust the sound pressure levels to the playback needs. Despite its small size,
TRAIL103 has a performance far higher than domestic loudspeakers.
