INSIDE REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL

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

4

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.

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.

CONNECTIONS

• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn of 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 Nissindo 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 use excessive force on the buttons,
switches or connectors.

GETTING STARTED

WIRING

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.

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.

IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before
making any connections.

For speaker connections, use a high-quality speaker wire with
polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or other
coding is usually considered positive polarity.

2-WAY FULL RANGE PASSIVE/NON-POWERED SPEAKER SYSTEM FUNCTIONING

Recommended System Setup:

We recommend using two amplifiers to connect to two separate
speakers (i.e. one amplifier connects to a Hi and Mid frequency
speaker and the other amplifier connects to the other Low Bass
speaker) in order to control the different sound frequency on the
speakers. It has an advantage over a parallel connection where
only one amplifier is used to connect to two separate speakers
(i.e. one Hi and Mid frequency speaker and one Low Bass
speaker) in connection to produce mono sound only.

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 mixer and a
power amplifier respectively. Therefore, the bass and the

WS-310A/WS-312A

full range sound are totally separately.

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 change it to a non-powered speaker and also add
a power amplifier to the system.

Under the mono connection, both spealers produce the same
level of frquencies (i.e. high. mid and low). If you want to
adjust the bass to a different level from the sub-woofer, you
need stereo connection.

MULTI-FUNCTION CONNECTION

There are two sources for connection in the rear of the
speaker: INPUT and OUTPUT as indicated in the diagram.
The INPUT is connected to the powered mixer. The output is
connected to other sources such as electronic keyboard. In
this case, two sources would become input since it has a

shut off in five seconds and then back to function again.
Therefore, you must adjust the speaker master volume to a
normal level. In this case, we highly recommend you adding
two 15-inch woofer speakers and also increase more output
power in your power amplifier or music source.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Troublesh ootin g

1. SYMPTOM: NO SOUNDS COMING OUT FROM THE
SPEAKERS

Probable cause:

1. The A/C power of the speaker is not turned on.

2. Choose the wrong A/C power selection (i.e. 110V~
220V).

Remedy:
A. Turn on the A/C power of the speaker.
B. Check the receiver or amplifier if it 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
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 causes:

The A/C power of the speaker is not turned on.

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.
Make sure 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 one of the other speakers 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; or whether it has moved; i.e., the speaker
that was not working still has no sound and the speaker that
was working is still 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 further
information. If the problem has followed the speaker, consult
your dealer for further assistance, or visit our web site for
technical support.

3. SYMPTOM: NOISES FROM THE SPEAKER.

Probable causes:

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. For
condense microphone, it 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 causes:

The tweeter may burn out.

Remedy:

Change a new tweeter.

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

6. SYMPTOM: SOUNDS LIKE DAZZ, DAZZ, DAZZ ........

COMING FROM THE SPEAKER.
Probable causes:

The speakon cable (with small gauges) is over 100 feet for
connection.

Remedy:

Change to a cable with 12 or 14 gauges or a high quality
cable with bigger size.

7. SYMPTOM: TOO MUCH MICROPHONE FEEDBACK
FROM THE SPEAKER.

Probable causes:

Incorrect tremble and bass adjustments on the speaker.

Remedy:

Adjust the tremble and bass to an appropriate level to avoid
the microphone feedback.
