CAUTION!
Possible hearing damage
The device can produce volume levels that may cause temporary or permanent
hearing impairment. Over an extended period of time, even levels that seem to
be uncritical can cause hearing damage.
Decrease the volume level immediately if you experience ringing in your ears or
hearing impairment. If this is not possible, keep a greater distance or use su‐
cient ear protectors.

Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the
equipment packaging. To fully protect the product against vibration, dust and moisture during
transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable
for transport or storage, respectively.

4.1 Tips on handling speakers
We recommend you to set up the speakers in a way, that the sound signals can reach the audi‐
ence unobstructedly. It will often be helpful to mount the speakers on tripods. Thus, the sound
will be evenly spread with maximum range throughout the audience area.
Always use high grade cable to connect your equipment. Otherwise you won't reach max‐
imum sound quality.
If you notice distortion during operation, the active speaker is overloaded. This may perma‐
nently damage the device. Always reduce the volume as soon as you hear distortion.

NOTICE!
Possible staining
The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly react
with the coating of your parquet, linoleum, laminate or PVC oor and after some
time cause permanent dark stains.
In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the oor, but use felt-pad
oor protectors or a carpet.
NOTICE!
Possible property damage by magnetic elds
Loudspeakers produce a static magnetic eld. Therefore, maintain an appropriate
distance to devices that can be adversely aected or damaged by an external
magnetic eld.
Mounting options

You can install the device standing or hanging upside down. When in use, the device must be
mounted at a solid surface or clamped to an approved truss.

Standing mounting
Installation
NOTICE!
Use of stands
When mounting the device onto a stand, ensure that the stand is in a safe and
stable position and that the weight of the device does not exceed the maximum
permissible load capacity of the stand.
We recommend that the speaker be set up so that the lower edge is located 175 cm above the
oor.

Suspended mounting
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Portable PA systems should be secured from falling using two independently
working devices, for example, safety ropes.
The load capacity of trusses or other xtures must be sucient for the intended number of
devices. The personnel in charge of mounting the suspension system are responsible for
ensuring that the systems are set up and used safely.
Always work from a stable platform whenever installing, moving or servicing the unit. Block
access under the work area. Only persons directly involved in set-up and removal are author‐
ized to be in the assembly area.

Plug and connection assignment
Introduction
Balanced and unbalanced trans‐
mission
This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equip‐
ment in such a way that a perfect sound experience is ensured.
Please note these advices, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated: Even if a
plug ts into the socket, an incorrect connection may result in a destroyed power amp, a short
circuit or ‘just’ in poor transmission quality!
Unbalanced transmission is mainly used in semi-professional environment and in hi use.
Instrument cables with two conductors (one core plus shielding) are typical representatives of
the unbalanced transmission. One conductor is ground and shielding while the signal is trans‐
mitted through the core.
Unbalanced transmission is susceptible to electromagnetic interference, especially at low
levels, such as microphone signals and when using long cables.
In a professional environment, therefore, the balanced transmission is preferred, because this
enables an undisturbed transmission of signals over long distances. In addition to the conduc‐
tors ‘Ground’ and ‘Signal’, in a balanced transmission a second core is added. This also transfers
the signal, but phase-shifted by 180°.

Plug and connection assignment
1/4" TS phone plug (mono,
unbalanced)

anced)
Since the interference aects both cores equally, by subtracting the phase-shifted signals, the
interfering signal is completely neutralized. The result is a pure signal without any noise inter‐
ference.
