Hyper-PRO top series User manual
Note: If you happen to lose the AC line-cord, always use a three-pin plug
with a ground pin. The wire correspondence is as follow:
Cable Pin International
Brown Live L
Blue Neutral N
Yellow/Green Earth
Always connect the earth! Pay attention to your safety!
Before taking into operation for the rst time, the installation has to be approved by an
expert.
3) MIC/LINE In INPUT 1 and 2
There are 2 independent combo connectors (XLR-type connector + 1/4” Jack plug)
that accept balanced or unbalanced Mic or Line level signals. There are no Line/Mic
switches to adapt their gain to microphone or line level signals; you have only to adjust
their level knobs - see 8) LEVEL 1 and 2 below.
NOTE: Please notice that these input connectors do not supply +48V Phan-
tom Power, so you can use condenser microphones only if self-powered.
4) Balanced Output
This is a male XLR-type connector that produces a processed mix of both Mic/Line
Inputs. Use it to daisy-chain several active speakers together.
5) Aux In
This is a 1/8” mini-jack plug that accepts an unbalanced stereo line-level signal. It is
very useful in case you need to connect your mobile phone, tablet or MP3 player.
Notice that Aux Left channel in routed to Input 1, and Aux Right channel is routed to
Input 2. Level Knob 1 acts on both channels but they are processed separately (Left >
CH1; Right > CH2). Also notice that stereo aux, input 1 and 2 can be used simultaneously; the only limitation is the Level knob 1, which is common to input 1 and both aux
stereo channels.
WARNING: Turn LEVEL knob 1 down (counterclockwise) before connecting
any source, especially if you’re using the LINE OUT connection.
6) LCD Display
It allows the user to browse all DSP functions and edit all parameters. For a complete
description of the DSP software, please refer to chapter “5. DSP SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION”.
7) Data Encoder
This knob with push function moves through DSP pages, select functions and changes
values. Please refer to chapter “5.2. DSP functions navigation” for all details.

central position corresponds to a 0dB gain. In case of a balanced or unbalanced line
signals, it is advisable to stay in the range between -∞ and 0; in the case of balanced or
unbalanced Mic signals, you should move to range 0 - MAX.

7. FIXED INSTALLATION
The installation of HYPER-PRO TOP speakers has to be built and constructed in a
way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming demolition.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment (e.g. an
appropriate catch net). This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way
that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, de-rigging or servicing the unit, staying in the area below the installation
place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that the safety measure and the unit’s technical installation is approved by an expert before taking into operation for the rst time and after
changes before taking into operation another time.
IMPORTANT: Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including
(but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material
being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and
the projector. If you lack these qualications, do not attempt the installation
yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury or property loss.
If the unit shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems
have to be used. The speaker must never be xed swinging freely in the room.
CAUTION: Speakers may cause severe injuries when crashing down. If you
have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do not install
the unit!
