Safety

Suspension

!

Warning!

Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals

who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects

overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends all loudspeakers be suspended taking into

account all current national, federal, state, and local laws and regulations. It is the

responsibility of the installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance

with all such requirements. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly

recommends the system be inspected at least once per year or as laws and regulations

require. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken

immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall, ceiling, or structure is capable

of supporting all objects suspended overhead. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker

not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.

Safety point

As an added safety measure, it is suggested the user install an extra suspension point back to
the building structural supports. This safety point should have as little slack as possible (less
than 1-inch is preferable).

Notices

Old electrical and electronic appliances

Electrical or electronic devices that are no longer serviceable must be collected separately and
sent for environmentally compatible recycling (in accordance with the European Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive).
To dispose of old electrical or electronic devices, you should use the return and collection

Installation

For safety, ensure the mounting surface supports more than the weight of the speaker. Use
only industry-accepted fasteners and mounting methods when mounting the loudspeaker.
Consult an expert if you are unsure.

!

Caution!

It is the installer's responsibility to determine and use the proper mounting hardware for

the wall construction type.

Disregarding this caution could result in damage to the product and personal injuries may

occur.

Caution!

For mono operation only use either the first two pins or the last two pins of the FR/IN

connector. Do not wire the amplifier to all four pins.

May cause damage to the amplifier if connected improperly.

The amplifier, the subwoofer, and the speakers are wired for MONO operation. It is highly
advisable to support the unit while these connections are being made. Connect all wires to

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Causes Action

No Sound Amplifier Connect a known working test speaker to the amplifier outputs. If

there is no sound, check all electronics are on, the signal routing is
correct, the source is active; the volume is turned up, and so on.
Correct/Repair/Replace as necessary. If there is sound, the problem is
in the wiring.

Wiring Verify you have connected the correct wire pairs to the amplifier. Play

something at low level through the amplifier (for example, from a CD
player or tuner). Connect the test speaker in parallel with the
malfunctioning line. If the sound has gone or is very weak, the line has
a short in it (possibly a severe scrape, pinch, or staple puncture). If
the sound level is normal the wire is open (possibly a cut wire or
missed connection). Using the test speaker, move down the line and
test each connection/junction until you find the problem and correct
it. Observe proper polarity.

Verify you have the inputs and outputs connected to the correct wires.
If the subwoofer input panel is not correctly wired, there will be little
or no sound. Observe proper polarity.

Poor Low­Frequency
Response

Speakers Wired Out­of-Polarity

When two speakers are connected out of polarity (out of phase), the
low frequencies will cancel each other acoustically. Carefully observe
the wire markings or tracers on your speaker wires. Verify the
amplifier (+) terminal is connected to the red speaker terminals and
the amplifier (-) terminal is connected to the black speaker terminals.

Improperly Wired
Subwoofer Panel

Using a test speaker as described above, verify all amplifier and
speaker wires are connected to their proper terminals with the correct
polarity. Reversing just one set of amplifier wires can cut out all bass
output from the subwoofer.

Intermittent
Output such as,
Crackling or
Distortion

Faulty Connection Check all connections at amplifier and speakers to ensure they are

clean and tight. If the problem persists, it may be in the amplifier or
wiring. See other actions above.

Constant Noise
such as Buzzing,
Hissing, Humming

Defective Amplifier
or other Electronic
Device

If the noise is present but no program material is playing, the likely
cause is the signal chain in the electronics. Evaluate each component
as necessary to isolate the problem.

Poor System
Grounding or
Ground Loop

Check and correct the system grounding, as required.

If these suggestions do not solve your problem, contact your nearest Electro-Voice dealer or
Electro-Voice distributor.
