Introduction This introduction briefly describes the possibilities of the GIAX design column speaker.. T he GIAX was designed to meet professional demands en proves its worth in auditoria, conference rooms, meeting rooms, churches,… any place that requires a great flexibility in positioning and tuning, ass well as state-of-the-art audio quality and design. Key features: - High-quality 2 inch speakers, especially designed by AUDAC, make the GIAX suitable for music and speech.
1 Chapter Warning Only use the correct amplifier output voltage and impedance, exceeding these limits could cause damage, fire or other failures. Only install the speaker on surfaces that can accommodate the weight of the speaker and the mounting bracket. Don’t use any other mounting method than specified. Attach a safety wire to the speaker when it’s mounted high up. This ensures that the speaker can’t fall down in any case.
2 Chapter Installation To achieve the best possible intelligibility and sound quality with a column speaker, there has to be paid extra attention to the proper mounting of the speaker. The dimensions of the desired listening area has to be determined where out the correct mounting height and angle can be derived. A step by step installation procedure describes the method to determine the mounting height and angle for the GIAX.
STEP 2: After the listening area is determined, the mounting height and the incline angle of the column speaker have to be determined. For the best speech intelligibility, you have to keep the following fact always in mind: A column speaker produces, through constructive interference between the different drivers, a focused sound beam in the acoustical centre of the speaker. The acoustical centre of the GIAX is precisely located in the middle of the loudspeaker.
OTHER POINTS TO PAY ATTENTION TO: While mounting a column speaker, there are still some other points where has to be paid attention to. - Make sure that the loudspeaker array is always visible for everyone in the listening area, to ensure a good audibility of the high tones. High tones can be compared with light. When something is between the observer and the light source, the observer can’t see the light source at it’s full power, this is what we call shadow. For high tones, this is the same issue.
3 Chapter Connecting the GIAX CONNECTIONS: At the back of the GIAX is a 3 pole euro terminal block connector provided to connect the amplifier with the GIAX column speaker. Warning: Notice the polarity markings when wiring the loudspeaker cables. PIN 4Ω 1 - 2 + 3 N.C.
