IMPORTANT SAFTEY INSTRUCTIONS!
Please read this very carefully before operating this unit
Read ALL instructions carefully before using this unit.
Do not operate this unit near water, in the rain or where there is moisture.
If this warning is ignored a serious electrical shock or death may occur.
Do not attempt to service this unit. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified, ISP approved service personnel.
Never remove or defeat the ground connection on the power cord of this
unit.
Care should be taken to avoid spilling any foreign objects or liquid into this
unit.
This active speaker system has a three-channel internal power amplifier
with a heatsink and a fan located inside the speaker for cooling. Air is
drawn in the front grille and hot air is exhausted out of front exhaust ports
behind the grille of the cabinet. Care should be taken to avoid placing this
active speaker in a location where the exhaust ports are obstructed and
does not allow proper cooling of the internal amplifiers. Avoid placing this
system close to other heat sources. The internal heatsink may reach high
temperatures under normal use. Make certain there is proper ventilation for
the speaker when in use.
Do not drive the ProWedge 210 into excessive heavy distortion for an
extended period of time to avoid premature speaker failure.
Failure to follow these instructions may void the warranty.
Caution: Exposure to extremely high noise levels can
cause permanent hearing loss.
The ProWedge 210 system is capable of producing in excess of 135db SPL at 1 meter.
Continued exposure to noise levels in excess of 90db may cause permanent hearing loss.
Below is a chart of the OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) regulations for
Occupational Noise Exposure. Please note: OSHA requires hearing protection for any
work environment when the sound levels exceed those shown in Table G-16 when
measured on the A scale of a standard sound level meter at slow response.
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing ISP Technologies ProWedge 210 active speaker system. The
ProWedge 210 is a high output, powered; two-way monitor at home on the loudest stages,
but providing accurate, detailed reproduction.
A 60 x 60 degree constant directivity horn pattern and use of dual woofers results in
controlled dispersion to reduce bleed into adjacent performers spaces, yet reduces the
extreme beaming of important high frequency information found on competing wedges.
The Sleek, modern design can actually be used in 4 different positions: Normal position
with a 40 degree baffle tilt, ‘Longer-throw’ position with a 50 degree baffle tilt, front-fill
position with a vertical baffle orientation, or side-fill position standing on end on top of a
sub. XLR signal and PowerconTM connectors are recessed on the side, with ‘thru’ outputs
for connection to multiple wedges.
The internal amplifier is based on ISP Technologies patent pending D-CAT (Dynamic
Current Amplifier Technology) amplifier technology. The D-CAT technology is capable of
delivering extremely high output current providing an improvement in transient response,
output current and a noticeable improvement in PUNCH. The D-CAT amplifier technology
utilizes a high performance power amplifier driver that reduces parts count and greatly
improves reliability. The D-CAT amplifiers provide improved reliability by including short
circuit and over temperature protection.
The woofer cones are fully waterproofed to survive the elements and abuse. A reinforced,
foam-backed, curved grille provides further protection. The Baltic birch plywood box is
coated with a tough polyurethane finish for durability.

Important Notice!!!
The information in this section has been gathered from engineering data and is for
informational purposes only. None of the information in this section should be used without
first obtaining competent advice with respect to applicability to a given circumstance. None of
the information presented herein is intended as a representation of warranty on the part of
ISP Technologies. Anyone making use of this information assumes all liability arising from
such use.
All information presented in this manual is based upon materials and practices that are most
common to The United States of America and may not directly apply to other countries
because of differing material dimensions, specs, and/or local regulations. Users in outside
countries should consult with appropriate engineering and regulatory authorities for specific
guidelines.
Correct use of all flyware is required for secure system suspension. Careful calculations
should always be performed to ensure that all components are used within their working load
limits before the cabinet suspended. Never exceed the maximum load ratings.
Before hanging any speaker system, always inspect all components for cracks, deformations,
corrosion, missing, loose or damaged parts that could reduce strength and safety of the
cabinet. Do not suspend the cabinet until the proper corrective action has been taken.
ATTACHMENT TO STRUCTURES
A licensed professional engineer must approve the placement and method of attachment to
the structure prior to the installation of any overhead object. The following performance
standards should be provided to the professional engineer for design purposes; Uniform
building code as applicable, Municipal Building code as applicable and Seismic Code as
applicable.
INSPECTION and MAINTENANCE
Suspension systems are comprised of mechanical devices and, as such, they require regular
inspection and routine maintenance to insure proper function ability. Any suspended ISP
Technologies loudspeaker must be inspected for fatigue at least annually. The inspection
shall include a visual survey of all corners and load bearing surfaces for signs of cracking,
water damage, de-lamination, or any other condition that may decrease the strength of the
loudspeaker enclosure.
Flyware that is provided with or for any ISP Technologies loudspeakers must be inspected
for fatigue at least annually. The inspection shall include a visual survey of the material for
signs of corrosion, bending, or any other condition that may decrease the strength of the
fastener.
ISP Technologies is not responsible for the application of its products for any purpose or the
misuse of this information for any purpose. ISP is also not responsible for the abuse of its
products caused by avoiding compliance with inspection and maintenance procedures.

THERMAL CONDITIONS
The ISP ProWedge 210 is capable of producing in excess of 900 watts at full power. This
generates heat that must be dissipated in order to maintain reliability and insure the amplifier
components stay within their operating temperature specs. To accomplish this, the amplifier
is mounted on a heatsink that is internal to the cabinet. Airflow is forced through a port near
the internal heatsink.
In addition the amplifiers are thermally protected internally via a thermal switch which will
attenuate the signal 40db if the heatsink temperature exceeds a certain temperature. When
the temperature drops below a certain point, full signal will be restored. Tests have shown
under extreme conditions that cycling will occur approx. (40 sec. ON, 20 sec. OFF)
It should also be noted that a separate internal thermal breaker also protects the power
transformers. If one power transformer temperature reaches a critical point the internal
thermal breaker will open. If this condition occurs simply reduce the signal level of the
system. This will only occur if the ProWedge 212 is continually pushed into heavy distortion.
