ACTIVE PA SPEAKERS

Congratulations on the purchase of this SkyTec active speaker box.
Please read this manual carefully prior to using the unit.

TO ENSURE MANY YEARS OF TROUBLEFREE USE, PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

• Hearing damage: Loudspeakers are e asily capable
of generating high sound pressure levels (SPL)
sufficient to cause permanent hearing damage to
performers, production crew and audience
members. Caution should be taken to avoid
prolonged exposure to SPL in excess of 90 dB.

• Do not overload the box to avoid damage to the
speakers.

• Do not place an open fire (candle, etc.) on top or
next to the box - FIRE HAZARD

• Only connect to an earthed mains outlet of
230Vac/50Hz.

• For indoor use only. If the box is used outdoors,
you need to make sure that no humidity can enter
the box.

• When not in use, unplug the unit from the mains.

• Unplug the unit from the mains prior to checking or

replacing the fuse.

• Make sure that the box is placed on a stable,
strong surface.

• The boxes can be stacked but do not put more
than 60kg weight on the box.

• The boxes can be hung. Use only strong and
approved mounting material. During the mounting,
make sure that nobody is standing below the
mounting area.

• Place the stand always on a flat, level, and stable
surface and that the legs do not present a trip
hazard.

• Use only stands which are designed to support the
weight of the speaker. Do not attempt to place
more than one speaker on a stand designed for a
single speaker.

• Route cables so that peoples will not trip over them
pulling the speaker over.

• Do not place liquids on the box and protect it
against humidity. Humidity can shorten the life
time considerably.

• Only use suitable means of transportation if you
want to move the box – BEWARE OF YOUR
BACK !!

• If the unit is damaged to an extent that you can
see internal parts, do not plug the unit in a mains
outlet. In this case, please contact Skytec.

• Always unplug the unit during a thunderstorm or
when it is not in use.

• If the unit has not been used for a longer period
of time, condensation can occur inside the
housing. Please let the unit reach room
temperature prior to use.

• Never try to repair the unit yourself. It does not
contain any user serviceable parts.

• Run the mains lead in such a way that nobody
can fall over it and nothing can be put on it.

• Only use the supplied mains lead or another lead
recommended by SkyTec.

• Set the unit to the lowest volume prior to
switching it on

• Keep the unit out of the reach of children.

Protect your environment. Recycle
packing material whenever possible.

Do not throw a faulty unit into normal
household waste but bring it to a special
collection point. A large part of it can be
recycled.

TROUBLESHOOTING

One certain method of determining if a speaker is faulty is to substitute a speaker that is known to work
correctly for the suspected problem speaker. If the “normally correct speaker” is experiencing the same
difficulties or problems as the suspected problem sp eaker, use the information below to isolate the problem.

Constant noise, buzzing and/or humming

Possible cause Action
Faulty electronic Any constant noise originates in the amplifier, mixer, signal processing, source
device in the signal devices, or line-level wiring. Check and correct system grounding as required. chain
check for noisy sources or electronic components. Check wiring for shielding.

Poor low-frequency output
Possible cause Action
Improper polarity When two speakers in close proximity to each other are connected out-of-polarity,

they can partially cancel each other out, especially at low frequencies. Check your
cables to be sure they are all identically wired and connected. Check the line signal
cables to be sure they are all correctly wired.

Do not attempt to make any repairs yourself. This would invalid your warranty. Do not make any changes to the unit. This
would also invalid your warranty. The warranty is no t appli cable in case of accident s or dama ges cause d by i nappropria te us e
or disrespect of the warnings contained in this manual. Skytec cannot be held responsible for personal injuries caused by a
disrespect of the safety recommendations and warnings. This is also applicable to all damages in whatever form.
