1. IMPORTANT REMARK Congratulations! You are the owner of a carefully designed and manufactured equipment.

We thank you for trusting in us and choosing our UMAi Series loudspeaker cabinets. In order to get the optimum operation and efficiency from this unit, it is VERY IMPORTANT

- before you plug anything - to read this manual very carefully and bear in mind all considerations

specified within it. We strongly recommend that its maintenance be carried out by our Authorised Technical services.

2. WARNINGS

No user serviceable parts exist inside these units. Never use this unit in the proximity of water. Do not expose the unit to water splashing, nor place liquid containers on top of it.

Avoid placing the unit next to heat sources. Use only accessories provided by the manufacturer. The units must never be flown from their transportation handles. Use the correct

accessories for each application. Whenever loudspeakers are wall or ceiling mounted, a redundant mounting system is obligatory as safety measure. Use a steel cable or chain of suitable gauge to avoid the fall of the loudspeaker in case some element of the main suspension system would break away from its fastening device.

3. INTRODUCTION

The speakers of UMAi series have been specially designed for a huge variety of mobile applications und fix installations that require a compact and light speaker with a high efficiency and that is easy to transport and to install. High quality 15 mm plywood has been used for manufacturing. All models are equipped with a grill of 1.2mm thickness to protect the loudspeakers from blows or foreign objects. The UMAi series passive filters are LC type ones with low tolerance polyester condensers and heavy gauge wire coils. All models incorporate an effective high frequency protection system against feedback or signal clipping. Connection plates are equipped with Speakon® connectors.

4. MODELS

UMA112i

Loudspeaker with 15mm thick, high quality plywood. Contains a 12'' woofer. Ceramic

magnet with 77mm coil. The high way wears a 1'' compression driver with mylar diaphragma, attached to a (50º-100º) x 55º diffusor. Trapezoidal shape.

Provides lateral handles and an additional handle on the back side with Speakon

connectors for signal input and stack output, 35mm pole socket and embedded nuts with M10 thread that allow to hang-up.

UMA115i

Loudspeaker made with 15mm thick, high quality plywood. Contains a 15'' woofer. Ceramic

magnet with 100mm coil. The high way wears a 1'' compression driver with mylar diaphragma, attached to a (50º-100º) x 55º diffusor. Trapezoidal shape.

Provides lateral handles and an additional handle on the back side with Speakon®

connectors for signal input and stack output, 35mm pole socket and embedded nuts with M10 thread that allow to hang-up.

UMA SB118i

Subwoofer unit. Loudspeaker made with 15mm thick, high quality plywood. Contains an

18'' woofer. Ceramic magnet with 100mm coil.

Provides lateral handles and an additional handle on the back side with Speakon®

connectors for signal input and stack output, 35mm pole socket and embedded nuts with M10 thread that allow to hang-up.

5. CONNECTIONS The connection cables which connect the amplifiers output and the speaker should be of

good quality, have sufficient conductor area and be as short as possible. The latter fact is specially important when the distance is long and the load impedance low (4-8 Ω). A cross-section of at least

is recommended for distances up to 10m; 4 or 6mm2 for longer distances. Following formula

2.5mm

gives the required section, assuming 4% losses: Length in m

Cross section in mm

= ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

Loudspeaker Impedance in Ω Always respect polarity. All connections are Speakon® type. The pin-out is indicated in the

diagram. The back panel connexion plate has a second Speakon® connector to connect loudspeakers in parallel. With this manual you'll find a spare Speakon® connector.

6. RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER Following table shows the output power of the amplifier adequate to each acoustic system:

UMA112i between 350 and 700W UMA115i between 500 and 1000W UMA SB118i between 500 and 1000W

7. PRE-AMPLIFYING MIXERS

Avoid excessive gain adjustments in the equalizer or tone control sections.

8. PLACEMENT Consider following general rules:

Place the acoustic enclosures on solid and firm surfaces. The Sub bass speakers will

prove more effective if placed on the floor horizontally, instead of flying, elevating or placing the unit vertically. No obstacles should stand between the enclosures and the audience. The high frequencies are very directive compared to the low frequencies, so that any obstacle will impair their response. In case large audiences must be addressed, a better long distance sound propagation will be achieved if the enclosures are flown high enough.

9. INSTALLATION The UMAi series has been designed to offer the greatest possible flexibility and easiness

concerning installation and transport.

Each model of the range has milled lateral handles and an additional handle on the

backside which are helpful during the installation of the speakers.

In the following we explain the possibilities of installation for each of the speakers from the

UMAi series. UMA112i

Includes 12 embedded nuts with M10 thread that allow to hang-up the speaker inserting

hooks, to which chains or steel cables can be attached. Also offers a standard 35mm pole socket for mounting on ECLER TRIP01 tripod, ECLER SR12 wall anchor or ECLER POLE01 accessory for fast configuration to the UMA SB118i subwoofer unit. (see included diagram)

UMA115i Includes 12 embedded nuts with M10 thread that allow to hang-up the speaker inserting

hooks, to which chains or steel cables can be attached. Also offers a standard 35mm pole socket for mounting on ECLER TRIP01 tripod.

UMA SB118i The UMA SB118i subwoofer has been designed to be installed on horizontal surfaces.

Includes 12 embedded nuts with M10 thread that allow to hang-up the speaker inserting hooks, to which chains or steel cables can be attached and pole socket for inserting 35 mm shank of ECLER POLE01. This unit is also prepared to stack other UMA SB118i or UMA112i / UMA115i units, due to milling on the upper side.

IMPORTANT NOTE

In no case should these equipments be suspended via their carrying handles; use

the accessories adapted to each application. Whenever loudspeakers are wall or ceiling mounted, a redundant mounting system is obligatory as safety measure. Use a steel cable or chain of suitable gauge to avoid the fall of the loudspeaker in case some element of the main suspension system would break away from its fastening device.
