INSTALLATION MANUAL
PENDANT SPEAKERS
• Do not use other methods than specified to mount the
bracket. Extreme force is applied to the unit and the unit
could fall off, possibly resulting in personal injuries.
• Tighten all screws securely. If any is loosely fixed, this
may cause the unit to fall, resulting in personal injury.

Thank you for purchasing TOA's Pendant Speakers.
Please carefully follow the instructions in this manual to
ensure long, trouble-free use of your equipment.
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Before installation or use, be sure to carefully read all
the instructions in this section for correct and safe
operation.
• Be sure to follow all the precautionary instructions in
this section, which contain important warnings and/or
cautions regarding safety.
• After reading, keep this manual handy for future
reference.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
mishandled, could result in death or serious
personal injury.
• Install the unit only in a location that can structurally
support the weight of the unit and the mounting bracket.
Doing otherwise may result in the unit falling down and
causing personal injury and/or property damage.
3. SPECIFICATIONS
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
mishandled, could result in moderate or minor
personal injury, and/or property damage.
• To avoid electric shocks, be sure to switch off the
amplifier's power when connecting speakers.
• Do not operate the unit for an extended period of time
with the sound distorting. This is an indication of a
malfunction, which in turn can cause heat to generate
and result in a fire.
• Do not hang down from the unit as this may cause it to
fall down or drop, resulting in personal injury and/or
property damage.
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PE-304 pendant speakers are designed
for ceiling suspension installations.
Considered in architectural design, they can blend in with
lighting equipment.
A directly-attached 5 m (16.4 ft) speaker cord allows the
speaker to be suspended from the high ceiling.
The PE-64 is driven on high-impedance (100 V and 70 V)
The PE-304 is driven on both high-impedance
(100 V and 70 V) and low-impedance (8 Ω) lines.
The input power (impedance) can be easily changed at
the upper side of the speaker.
The speakers are easy to repaint so as to meet a wide
range of design needs.

5. INPUT POWER (IMPEDANCE) CHANGE
Important
Be sure to follow the instructions below. Failure to do so may cause damage to the speaker.
• Switch off the amplifier's power when changing the input power.
• Never make 8 Ω connection in a 100 V or 70 V line system, as excessive input power is applied to the speaker,
possibly resulting in damage. (PE-304)
5.1. PE-64
The input power (impedance) is factory-preset to 6 W
(1.7 kΩ) for 100 V line and 3 W (1.7 kΩ) for 70 V line.
When changing this setting, use a standard screwdriver
to rotate the rotary switch on the upper side of the
speaker to the desired position
Impedance 1.7 kΩ 3.3 kΩ 10 kΩ
100 V line 6 W 3 W 1 W
70 V line 3 W 1.5 W 0.5 W
Note
Shown above is an example when the input power is
set to 3 W on 100 V line and 1.5 W on 70 V line.
5.2. PE-304
The input power (impedance) is factory-preset to 30 W
(330 Ω) for 100 V line.
When changing this setting, use a standard screwdriver
to rotate the rotary switches on the upper side of the
speaker to the desired position.
Input power 30 W 20 W 15 W 10 W 5 W
100 V line 330 Ω 500 Ω 670 Ω 1 kΩ 2 kΩ
70 V line 170 Ω 250 Ω 330 Ω 500 Ω 1 kΩ
Note
Shown above is an example when the input power is
set to 20 W on 100 V line.
(1) When operating at high impedance (100 V and 70 V lines);
Set the rotary switch of "LINE VOL." to "100 V" or "70 V" and that of "INPUT" to the input power to be used.
(2) When operating at low impedance;
Set both rotary switches of "LINE VOL" and "INPUT" to 8 Ω.

If these screws are not appropriate
for the ceiling material, separately
prepare the proper screws.
