We at Laney are extremely pleased that you have decided to select a Concept product
for your sound requirements and we wish to reinforce your judgement by ensuring you
get off to a flying start by including this comprehensive user manual to assist you in
getting to know your equipment.
Before switching on please read this manual carefully, since whilst you may well be an
experienced user, no two brands are the same, and on reading this manual you will
become aware of the subtle advantageous differences that Concept offers over its
competitors.
UNPACKING
On unpacking your Concept please check carefully for any signs of damage that may
have occurred whilst in transit from the Laney factory to your dealer. In the unlikely event
that there has been damage, please repack your unit in its original carton and consult your
dealer.
We would strongly advise you to store away your original transit carton, since in the
unlikely event that some time in the future your unit should develop a fault, you will be able
to return it to your dealer for rectification securely packed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your Concept powered monitor should be fitted with a three pin 'grounded' (or 'earthed')
plug. Please make sure that the moniter is powered from a 'grounded/earthed' outlet.
If changing or fitting a plug yourself, ensure that the applicable wiring code is adhered to,
for example in the UK the cable colour code for connections are as follows:
EARTH OR GROUND
NEUTRAL
LIVE
The Concept product should never be exposed to moisture or wetness under any
circumstances, since this would represent a possible shock or fire hazard, and may cause
expensive damage to your valuable possession.
In the unlikely event that a fuse should blow, it is imperative that you or your engineer use a
correctly rated replacement.
Details of the fuse required is printed on the powered monitor - please take special care to
use a 'time delay' fuse wherever stated.

CM Series Passive Monitors
The ‘CM’ range of speakers are passive monitors designed to compliment the powered
‘CP’ monitors.
They should be connected via the ‘Extension Speaker’ socket on the powered monitor,
and are then remotely controlled from the front panel of the ‘CP’ monitor.
Level and EQ settings from the powered monitor are passed directly on to the unpowered monitor, allowing an even mix between the two speakers.
The ‘CM’ monitors are rated at 8 Ohms, which, when connected to the 8 Ohm speaker
within the ‘CP’ monitor, will drop the overall load impedance of the speakers down to 4
Ohms.
This will allow the amplifier within the powered monitor to work to its full potential,
creating not only a more expansive sound from the two speakers, but also more volume
from the amp itself.

Adding Additional Powered Monitors
Additional powered monitors can be connected to an existing ‘CP’ monitor via the ‘Link’
output socket, running straight into the ‘Line’ input on the second powered monitor.
The ‘Link’ output is a line level output, which allows the same monitor mix to be fed to
another powered monitor, which can, in turn, power another ‘CM’ monitor, giving you a
total of four speakers running at once.
You can then continue to add more powered and unpowered monitors by simply ‘daisychaining’ them in this way...
Alternatively, if more power is required from just two cabinets, then two ‘CP’ monitors
can be hooked together by using the ‘Link’ socket on the first powered monitor, running
straight into the ‘Line’ input of the second.
You then control the output of the second monitor using the front panel, as if the signal
was coming straight from the source.
