Respect the safety standardsRespect the safety standards

Respect the safety standards – The entire sound system must be designed in compliance with the current standards and laws regarding electrical systems.

The MR6T (Black) and MR6WT (White) are a compact full-range speaker system designed for constant-voltage systems. The single 6.3" dual-cone woofer achieves wide bandwidth and natural, smooth sound reproduction, ideal for use in business music systems and indoor/outdoor background music applications.

Connections are made to recessed, colorcoded spring-loaded terminals.

The enclosure is a vented design, constructed of high-density polystyrene, with four M6 threaded inserts for use with mounting hardware, and includes a protective perforated steel grille.

Hearing loss Hearing loss

Hearing loss - Exposure to high sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. The sound pressure level which leads to hearing loss varies considerably from one person to another, and depends on the duration of exposure. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Healt Administration (OSHA) has established the maximum sound pressure levels that can be with stood without causing damage, which are shown in the table

below. According to the OSHA regulations, any exposure over the maximum limits indicated in the table can reduce the hearing capacity of a person. To prevent potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, anyone subjected to such levels must use suitable protection. When a Mackie Industrial product capable of producing high sound levels is being used, it is therefore necessary to wear ear plugs or protective earphones when the limits shown in the table are exceeded.

Consult the specifications provided in the instruction manual to know the maximum sound pressure (SPL) the speaker is capable of producing.

WARNING: Consult a professional rigger or structural engineer prior to suspending loudspeakers from a structure not intended for that use. Always know the working load limit of the structure supporting the loudspeaker array. Always make sure that the rigging hardware minimum rating is at least five times the actual load.

Rear Panel Features and Controls

1. This rotary control selects the power tap

for the internal constant voltage transformer. Choices are 1W, 2.5W, 5W, 10W, 20W, and BYPASS (used for 4Ω operation).

2. This rotary control selects the constant

voltage distributed system in which the speaker is used. Choices are BYPASS (used for 4Ω operation), 0(Off), 25V, 50V, 70V, and 100V.

Note: Use a slot-head screwdriver to adjust the rotary controls.

3. Use these spring-loaded terminals to

connect the speaker wiring.

Connections

The spring-loaded speaker terminals are designed to accept bare wire, up to a maximum of 18 gauge. Strip 1/4" of insulation off the end of the speaker wire, press in the tab, and insert the bare wire into the hole. When you release the tab, the wire is locked in place. Make sure there are no stray strands of wire outside the terminal connection.
