1.2About This Manual
This manual covers hardware features and functions for full-range AIRseries loudspeakers (AIR10, AIR12, and AIR15) and for the companion AIR15s and AIR18s subwoofer. We suggest that you use the manual to familiarize yourself with the features, applications, and connection procedures for your AIR-series loudspeakers before trying to set up and operate them.
Except for low-frequency driver configuration and a few technical specifications (such as weight, frequency response, and maximum SPL), the features of
the full-range models are the same. In many respects, the features of the AIR15s and AIR18s are also the same. Whenever possible these features will be described for the entire line. Unless preceded by“full-range”, the term “loudspeaker”will refer to both full-range models and subwoofers.
Throughout this manual you will find Power User Tips highlighting distinctive aspects of your AIR-series loudspeaker and explaining various audio terms. An assortment of tutorials covering the basics of room acoustics and speaker placement can be found in the AIR-series Application Guide available for download from www.presonus.com.
Thank you, once again, for buying our product. We are confident that you will enjoy your AIR-series loudspeakers!
