3. IMPORTANT NOTE
Congratulations. You now possess the result of careful design and meticulous
manufacturing. We are very grateful for your trust in purchasing our TRAILSB6T
concealable subwoofer.

4. INTRODUCTION
TRAILSB6T is intended as a bass reinforcement and is constructed of wood, with a
very compact design. It incorporates a 6.5-inch, 60 Wrms, 8 Ω driver, a transformer
with four selectable powers for use in 70/100 V lines and an internal low-pass
filter.
It has been specially designed to meet the requirements of a permanent
installation, in which low visual impact and integration with its surroundings are
essential: concealed in suspended ceilings and on surfaces, etc. Installation
accessories are included. Available in black
5. MAIN SPECIFICATIONS

6. CONNECTION
The TRAILSB6T operates into high or low impedance. For this reason, it has a rear
panel fitted with a 5-position switch for operating-mode selection. The first four
positions enable the system to operate into high impedance mode, and the fifth is
for low impedance.
The four positions of the power selector for the 70/100 V line allow the maximumpower configuration at which each unit operates. Therefore, the lower positions
are used in areas requiring low SPL (7.5 W or 15 W) and the upper positions are
for areas requiring higher levels (30 W or 60 W).
Note: if the loudspeaker is used in 70V installations, the corresponding powers for
the 100V position will be reduced to half those indicated on the switch. To one
quarter for 50V installations.
The fifth position corresponds to low-impedance operation (8 Ω) and a maximum
power of 60 W. If this setup is adopted, consideration must be given to amplifier
limits when several loudspeakers are connected to its output, especially if the
overall impedance is below 4 Ω. Furthermore, it is important that the cable
connecting the amplifier outputs to the loudspeakers is of good quality and as
short as possible; this is of special significance when long distances have to be
covered and loudspeaker impedance is low.
Note: The loudspeaker distribution along a 70/100V line historically arises from
the technical requirement to mix loudspeakers of different impedances and/or
powers on the same amplification line or channel, but without any need to worry
about the total impedance of the full assembly. Moreover, this solution enables
long cable runs with significantly smaller sections that those usually employed in
low-impedance installations, but with minimum power losses.
WARNING! If the system is accidentally connected with the switch in the 100 V/60
W position to a low-impedance amplifier, no damage will be caused to the
loudspeaker, but its performance will be well below its specifications. If the
loudspeaker is accidentally connected to a 70 V/100 V network, in the 8 Ω position,
it will be seriously damaged.

7. LOCATION AND INSTALLATION
TRAILSB6T provides various installation systems. The packaging contains all the
accessories required for the various options. Installation in suspended ceiling, on a
flat surface (wall or ceiling) and behind partition walls.
In general, the following rules will be followed:
The unit must always be installed on firm, solid surfaces when the
installation is on a flat surface (wall or ceiling).
Suspended ceiling installation: TRAILSB6T can be installed in suspended
ceilings with 60 cm wide profiles.
For good sound reproduction, there must not be any obstacles between the
loudspeaker and the audience.
The sound-pressure levels must be adapted to the reproduction needs.
Despite its reduced size, TRAILSB6T provides a much higher performance
than domestic loudspeakers.
Note: the TRAILSB6T loudspeaker may be adapted in several ways to your needs
by means of the supplied installation accessories. The procedures described in this
manual are examples, but there are other installation options that can be executed
by following the instructions in this manual; at corners, walls with angles, on the
floor, concealed in furniture, etc.

6.1 Procedure for installation in a suspended ceiling
Before commencing with the securing of the metal fittings, consideration must be
given to the coupling bar because a 68 mm hole must be made in the ceiling for its
installation and that of the trim grille.
1. Screw the metal fittings to the TRAILSB6T using the supplied screws. This
can be executed by using several of the holes in the supports for the
coupling bar installation in the desired position. See figure 1.
2. Execute a 68 mm hole for the coupling bar in the suspended ceiling.
3. Check that the system is stable and then carry out the necessary
connections and adjustments before installing it over the suspended ceiling.
4. Install the loudspeaker with the metal fittings already in place over the
suspended ceiling and leave the system resting on the profiles.
5. Install the coupling bar with the trim grille, passing it through the 68 mm
hole. Push the bar towards the loudspeaker until the grille is flush with the
suspended ceiling.
