REGULATOR Y STATEMENTS

WS-AT300

• This speaker system is a 2-way bass-reflex type incorporating a 38-cm (15”) woofer and a Square Contour Wave Guide (SCWG) horn tweeter.
• The speaker system accepts a continuous program input of 400 W or 200 W(RMS). It delivers high outputs from its compact body with a maximum sound pressure level of 122 dB.
• The SCWG horn minimizes the disturbing reflection sound generated near the open end and to provide a constant directivity of 60˚ (horizontal) and 40˚ (vertical). You can easily attach again the horn to the enclosure by turning it 90˚ as required for horizontal or vertical speaker installation.
• The enclosure has essential features such as toughness to transportation, a recessed type handle for carrying, the convex and concave for stacking, holes for mounting bracket, safety wires, etc.

PREFACE

WS-AT350

• This Subwoofer is a bass-reflex type incorporating a 38-cm (15”) cone speaker and to be used with the RAMSA Subwoofer Processor WS-SP2A.
• The WS-AT350 accepts an input of 400 W (RMS). It delivers high outputs, though it is small in size, with a maximum sound pressure level of 118 dB.
• The enclosure has essential features such as toughness to transportation, a recessed type handle for carrying, the convex and concave for stacking, holes for mounting bracket, safety wires, etc.
• Power loss may increase as the total speaker impedance gets lower with a number of speaker hookups. Use the largest speaker cable in wire gauge to reduce power loss.
• Switch off the power amplifiers before connecting the speakers or other peripherals.
• Avoid the followings all the time to protect the speakers from damage.
* Turning on and off mixing consoles and other
peripherals may cause shock noise when the amplifiers and subwoofer processor are on.
* Shock noise resulting from the connection/
disconnection of inputs/outputs with any powered-up equipment
* Pop noise from microphones without
appropriate use of breath-pop screen and/or high-pass filter
* Click noise caused by switching on or off the
phantom power for microphones
* Continuous operation at very low frequency
from an oscillator, synthesizer or program sources

PRECAUTIONS

* High frequency noise developed by fast-
forward or fast-rewind operation of a tapedeck
* Out of tune noise in FM broadcast * Feed-back from microphones or electronics
musical instruments.
• Match the polarities of all the speakers by observing the connectors and wire colors when using two or more speakers.
• Read “PROTECTION CIRCUITS” on page 8. Turn down the volume control of the amplifier immediately if the sound suddenly decreases.
• You should use the WS-AT350 Subwoofer all the time with Subwoofer Processor WS-SP2A. The WS­SP2A processes the signal to protect the speakers from damage due to an excessive input signal.

• Changing the tweeter direction
You can alter the directivity when placing the WS­AT300 horizontally.
1. Unscrew four bolts to detach the tweeter.
2. Turn the tweeter by 90˚.
3. Tighten four bolts to attach the tweeter again.
4. Rotate the RAMSA badge by 90˚.

INSTALLING THE SPEAKER

• Stacking
Speakers can be stacked one upon another as illustrated.
Place an additional speaker on top of another, making sure to match their convex and concave portions.
