1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When Installing the Unit

• Avoid installing or mounting the unit in unstable
locations, such as on a rickety table or a slanted
surface. Doing so may result in the unit falling
down and causing personal injury and/or property
damage.

• Refer all installation work to the dealer from whom
the speaker was purchased. Installation for flying
requires extensive technical knowledge and
experience. The speaker may fall off if incorrectly
installed, resulting in possible personal injury.

• Flying precautions.
Be sure to follow the instructions below. Otherwise,
the suspension wires or belts may be off or snap
and the speaker may fall off, causing personal
injury.

· Check to confirm that the suspension wires and

belts are strong enough to withstand the speaker
load.

· The connectors of the suspension wires and belts

must be securely linked with those of the
speaker.

· All parts and components (such as enclosures,

metal pieces, and screws) must be free from any
deformation, crack, and corrosion.

· Be sure to use screws supplied with the optional

flying hardware when installing the speaker using
such hardware.

• 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.

• Owing to the unit's size and weight, be sure that at
least two persons are available to install the unit.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

WARNING

When Installing the Unit

• When unpacking or moving the unit, be sure to
handle it with two or more persons. Falling or
dropping the unit may cause personal injury and/or
property damage.

• Avoid touching the unit's sharp metal edge to
prevent injury.

When the Unit is in Use

4. INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

TOA's lineup of line array speakers employs TOA's unique wave front control technology to create a sound
field that offers clear reproduction and uniform sound dispersion. This lineup includes versions offering either
5 degrees or 15 degrees of angled vertical directivity, as well as sub-woofer configured types. The use of
optional support brackets allows the line array speakers to be used in many applications as permanent sound
system installations.

• TOA's unique wave front control technology creates a uniform sound distribution field with interference-free
high frequency output, realizing high-clarity acoustic characteristics and long sound transmission
capabilities.

• The SR-C8LWP is a two-way speaker mounting a high-power 20 cm woofer and two compression drivers,
and featuring a 5 degree angle of vertical directivity and 110 degrees of horizontal. It is ideal for long
distance applications and can be powered by either one or two amplifiers.

• The SR-C8SWP is a two-way speaker mounting a high-power 20 cm woofer and two compression drivers,
and featuring a 15 degree angle of vertical directivity and 110 degrees of horizontal. It is ideal for shorter
distance applications and can be powered by either one or two amplifiers.

• By combining the long-distance SR-8LWP and short-distance SR-8SWP, a line array speaker system can be
built to support a variety of applications.

• The SR-C15BWP sub-woofer employs a large-diameter 38 cm woofer with high power handling capabilities,
and is designed to be used in conjunction with the SR-C8LWP or SR-C8SWP line array speakers.

• The line array speakers are designed to allow easy rear access for maintenance work.

• Overlap angles between individual speakers can be set in 1 degree units between 0 and 5 degrees when
constructing the line array speaker, making it possible to flexibly control speaker directivity.

• The line array speaker can be suspended with the additional use of the SR-RF8WP Rigging Frame.

The WP series is a splash-proof speaker, however please be sure to install it under a roof or eaves or in other
locations where the speaker is not directly exposed to rain or snow. Also, avoid installing the speaker in such
high-temperature and high-humidity locations as swimming pool facilities. Failure to follow these instructions
could lead to equipment malfunctions.
