2.1. Connections
1- Balanced Input: Balanced signal XLR:
1= Shield 2= Live 3= Return 2-Link: XLR connector used for paralleling
several units, which will share the same input. 1= Shield 2= Live 3= Return
3-Gain: Adjust LINE Input level 4- Mains Supply: Input AC PowerCon
connector. 5-AC Link (Mains): Output AC PowerCon to feed
a secondary cabinet 6-LIMITER: Prevents the amplifier outputs from
overdriving the transducers. When the LIMITER indicators are active, they are in red colour. The LIMITER indicators can be in red occasionally, but if they are continuously activated, turn

3. MOUNTING AND PLACEMENT
For a proper installation of the acoustic cabinet systems, it is strongly recommended to carefully read the following advices.
3.1. Placement
The "Full Range" cabinets should be locat ed in a high position (between two or three meters), slightly inclined to the audience. If the loudspeakers are located too low, the listeners at the end of the room will not receive enough sound pressure level.
They may be located together, in cluster form, one next to the other, taking advantage of their trapezoidal shape.
4. TROUBLESHOOTING
No power
Make sure that the cabinet is plug in.
The Fuse is blown. Replace the fuse on fuse
holder with one of the same type. If it blows again, take the unit to a service centre.
No sound
Check that the mixer or sound source is sending signal to the unit.
Make sure that the VOLUME potentiometer is well-positioned.
Check that the cable from the sound source to the units is connected correctly. Replace the cable if defective.
Make sure the output volume (gain) control on the mixing console is turned up sufficiently to drive the inputs of the speakers.
Make sure the mixer does not have a Mute on.
Distorted sound
The system is overloaded and has reached maximum power. Turn down the mixer's output or the channel's gain.
Poor bass performance
Check the polarity of the connections between the mixer and the cabinets. You may have the positive and negative connections reversed at one end of the cable, causing a loudspeaker to be out-of-phase.
Noise and Hum
Make sure all connections to the active unit are in good conditions.
Avoid the signal cables to be routed near AC cables, power transformers, or EMI-inducing devices.
Check if there is any light dimmer on the same AC circuit as the cabinet. Connect the sound system to a different phase than the lights.
