Additional Information
YourRenkus-Heinz ST loudspeaker was carefully tested and fully inspected before leaving our factory and should have arrived in perfect condition. Please carefully inspect your loudspeaker and its shipping carton for any noticeable damage and if any damage is found, immediately notify the shipping company.
Only the consignee may institute a claim with the carrier for any damage incurred during shipping. Be sure to save the carton and all packing materials for the carrier's inspection.
It is also a good idea to save the carton and packing material even though the loudspeaker arrived in good condition. If shipping the loudspeaker should ever be required, it should be shipped only in its original factory packing.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Renkus-Heinz ST loudspeaker system. Your ST Series loudspeaker has been designed to provide you years of trouble-free high performance listening pleasure. We hope you enjoy it.
IMPORTANTSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in ac­cordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radia­tors, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (in­cluding amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. Agrounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your out­let, consult an electrician for replacement of the obso­lete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience recepta­cles, and the point where they exit from the appara­tus.
11.Make sure the power cord remains readily acces­sible at all times.
12. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,or has been dropped.
WARNING- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPA­RATUSTO RAIN OR MOISTURE”
“CAUTION: THESE SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR USE BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON­NEL ONLY. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICING OTHER THAN THAT CONTAINED IN THE OPERAT­ING INSTRUCTIONS UNLESS YOU ARE QUALI­FIED TO DO SO”.
IMPORTANTMOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Toensure proper air movement for the cooling of the amplifier module, we recommend a minimum of 2 to 3 feet of clearance in front of the loudspeaker and at least 3 to 4 inches of clearance from the other cabinet surfaces.
YourST Series loudspeaker was designed to be mounted in an upright position. Please do not place it on its side on the floor.
Safety certifications do not include methods for mounting loudspeakers.
Input Connector
The female 3-pin XLR type INPUT connector con­nects to the amplifiers 10 K Ohms, electronically bal­anced input. It requires a 1.4 V signal for full rated output. Pin 2 is "hot" and pin 3 is "neutral". Pin 1 is chassis ground. When the amplifier is connected to a bal­anced source, the shield may either be lifted or con­nected at the source end. The choice should be made on the basis of minimum hum. With an unbalanced source, connect the signal to pin 2 and source ground to pin 3 (connecting the signal to pin 3 is not recommended. Note: Improper operation
results when only pin 2 or only pin 3 and pin 1 (ground) are used for an unbalanced input.
Looping Connector
The male 3-pin XLR type “looping” connector is used to “loop through” to additional ST series loudspeaker PM-3 tri-amplifiers. It has “straight through” connec­tions from the Input connector.
Status LED’s
The LED’s indicate the amplifier’s status during oper­ation. The Mute LED’s glow when one of the amplifier channels is “Muted”. The Fault LED’s turn on when one of the amplifier channels has failed and been re­moved from operation. The Limit LED’s show when an amplifier channel is being overdriven and the protec­tive circuits are being activated: green indicates nor­mal level; yellow indicates caution and red indicates danger.The temperature indicator glows when the amplifier is starting to overheat.
VolumeControl
This control adjusts the loudspeaker’s output level. When it is turned fully clockwise, the amplifier will have its maximum voltage gain and will deliver its rated output when driven by its rated signal. As a general rule, setting the control in the full clock­wise position provides maximum headroom; setting the control at a lower level maximizes the signal/noise level.
Power/Standby Switch
This switch is used to turn the amplifer “On” or place it in “Standby”. In Standby,the amplifier is still con­nected to theAC Mains, but not turned “On”.
“Push ToReset” Circuit Breaker
The “Push To Reset” Circuit Breaker acts as a protec­tive power line fuse and automatically turns the power to the amplifier “Off” in case of overload. If the switch shuts “Off” during normal use, push it back to the “On” position just one time. Do not attempt to operate the amplifier by holding the switch in the “on” position. If it will not stay on by itself, the amplifier needs service.
WARNING
TheAC Mains must be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connec­tion.
PM-3 PowerNet Tri-AmplifierModule
The heart of your PowerNet loudspeaker is the inte­gral PM-3 tri-amplifier.It was developed by Renkus­Heinz engineers as a perfect match for the loud­speaker’s high performance transducers and includes comprehensive signal processing and protective cir­cuitry.
