SYSTEM FEATURES

Featu res

The remarkable quality in our all purpose speakers has only gotten better through time. We only use the newest, technologically improved resistors and capacitors materials for the crossovers of our speakers, allowing that crystal clear audio that our Nissindo speakers are known for. Every year we search for new ideas and inspirations for the future speakers of Nissindo, to carry on the top audio quality that all speakers are meant to have. And today, we would like to present not one but two new speakers that are joining the WS Series speakers. Adding to our Wide Range Speaker “WS” Series professional speakers is the new WS-315 passive and WS-315A active speaker.

Equipped with an amplifier that can power itself and an additional speaker, the WS-315A is the perfect choice for party speaker, and it only gets better with the additional functions it has. Treble and bass adjustments allow the user to shake the ground with hard hitting bass and enhance the tone of the music instruments.

CAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

POWER SUPPLY / POWER CORD

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device.

The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the device.

• Use only the included power cord.

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as

heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is

not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• When removing the electric plug from the device or an

outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

ABNORMALITY

• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged,

or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the device, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified Nissindo service personnel.

• If this device should be dropped or damaged, immediately

turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified Nissindo service personnel.

LOCATION

• Always consult qualified Nissindo service personnel if the

device installation requires construction work, and make sure to observe the following precautions.

• Choose mounting hardware and an installation location

that can support the weight of the device.

• Avoid locations that are exposed to constant vibration.

NO GOOD

DO NOT OPEN

• Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the

internal parts or modify them in any way. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Nissindo service personnel.

WATER WARNING

• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in

damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into an openings.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Inspect the device periodically.

• When transporting or moving the device, always use two

or more person. Attempting to lift the device by yourself may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage to the device itself.

• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

• Do not use the device in a confined, poorly-ventilated

location. If this device is to be used in a small space other than an EIA-standard rack, make sure that there is adequate space between the device and surrounding walls or other devices: at least 30cm at the sides, 30cm

behind and 30cm above. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.

• Do not use the speaker’s handles for suspended installation.

Doing so can result in damage or injury.

• Do no expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a

heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.

• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it

might accidentally fall over.

CONNECTIONS

• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. Before turning the power on or off

for all devices, set all volume levels to minimum.

CAUTION

• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the device LAST, to avoid speaker damage.

When turning the power off, the device should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.

• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or

openings on the device (ports, etc.).

• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic,

metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device (ports, etc.). If this happens, turn off the power immediately

and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected by qualified Better Music Builder service personnel.

• Do not use the device for a long period of time at a high

or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause

permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing

loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

• Do not operate the device if the sound is distorting.

Prolonged use in this condition could cause overheating and result in fire.

• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and avoid using excessive force on the

buttons, switches or connectors.

polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity.

NOTE

If desired, consult Nissindo technical support for speaker wire and connection options.

The speakers have coded terminals that accept a variety or wire connectors.

To ensure proper polarity, connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker. Connect the – (black) terminals in a similar way. See the owner’s guides that were included with your amplifier, receiver and television to confirm connection procedures.

IMPORTANT: Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response.

ADJUSTING

Check the speakers for playback, first by setting the system volume control to a minimum level, and then by applying power to your audio system. Play a favorite music or video segment and increase the system volume control to a comfortable level.

NOTE

You should hear balanced audio reproduction across the entire frequency spectrum. If not, check all wiring connections or consult the authorized dealer from whom you purchased the system for more help.

The amount of bass you hear and the stereo-image quality will be affected by a number of different factors, including the room’s size and shape, the construction materials used to build the room, the listener’s position relative to the speakers, and the position of the speakers in the room.

Listen to a variety of music selections and note the bass level. If there is too much bass, move the speakers away from nearby walls. Conversely, if you place the speakers closer to the walls, there will be more bass output.

GETTING STARTED

WIRING

IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipments are turned off before

making any connections.

For speaker connections, use a high-quality speaker wire with

CARING

Each enclosure has a finish that does not require any routine maintenance. When needed, use a soft cloth to remove any fingerprints or dust from the enclosure or grille.

2-WAY FULL RANGE ACTIVE/POWERED SPEAKER SYSTEM FUNCTIONING

The diagram indicates that signals from the sources (i.e. mixer, iPod or MP3) to the active/powered speaker through the powered subwoofer, which acts as a bridge for bringing signal, are limited in output from the active/powered speaker.

To increase the output from the active/powered speaker, you need to use a passive/non-powered speaker (instead of an active/powered speaker) and add a power amplifier to drive the system. In this case, both the powered subwoofer and the passive/non-powered speaker are controlled separately by a

WS-315A

mixer and a power amplifier respectively. Therefore, the bass and the full range sound are totally separate.

NOTE

When using the active/powered speaker for full range coverage, the output is limited. If the output is not high enough, you need to add a non-powered speaker and also a power amplifier to the system.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Troublesh ootin g

1. SYMPTOM: NO SOUNDS COMING OUT FROM THE SPEAKERS

Probable causes:

1. The A/C power of the speaker is turned off.

2. Wrong A/C power selection (i.e. 110V~ 220V).

Remedy:

A. Turn on the A/C power of the speaker.

B. Make sure the receiver or amplifier is on and the source is

playing.

C. Check all wires and connections between receivers, amplifiers and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected, none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, and that no wires are touching each other.

D. Review proper operation of your receiver or amplifier.

E. Choose the right A/C power.

2. SYMPTOM: NO SOUNDS COMING OUT FROM ONLY ONE SPEAKER

Probable cause:

The A/C power of the speaker is turned off.

Remedy:

A. Check the "Balance" control on your receiver or amplifier.

B. Check all wires and connections between receiver,

amplifier and speaker. Make sure all wires are connected, none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, and that no wires are touching each other.

C. In Dolby® Digital or DTS® mode, make sure that the receiver or processor is configured so that the speaker in question is enabled.

D. Turn off all electronics and switch the speaker in question with another speaker that is working correctly. Turn everything back on, and determine whether the problem is in the same place: i.e., the speaker that was working previously now has no sound and the speaker that was not working now sounds fine. If the problem is in the same place, the source of the problem is most likely with your receiver or amplifier, and you should consult the owner's manual for further information. If the problem is with the speaker, consult your dealer for further assistance, or visit our web site for technical support.

The A/C power cord of the speaker is not grounded.

Remedy:

Change a new magnet cord of the A/C power cord.

4. SYMPTOM: MICROPHONE VOLUME IS TOO LOW.

Probable causes:

A. The microphone is poorly connected to the speaker.

B. The volume on the speaker is too low.

Remedy:

A. Check the connection between the microphone and the

speaker. Make sure that they are connected properly. Condense microphone doesn't work with the speaker. You may need to change to a dynamic vocal microphone.

B. Turn the volume to an appropriate level. If the volume is still not high enough, you may need to upgrade your existing audio system to a system with much higher output.

5. SYMPTOM: CRACKING NOISES FROM THE SPEAKER.

Probable cause:

The tweeter may be burned out.

Remedy:

Replace with a new tweeter.

Note: we recommend hiring a professional to change a tweeter in order to do it properly.
