Mounting a loudspeaker on a tripod stand Figure 3.1: Full-Range models on a tripod stand Caution! ! Tripod is not evaluated for safety with this loudspeaker. Check the specifications of the tripod stand to be certain it is capable of supporting the weight of the loudspeaker.
ELX200 Powered Loudspeakers Mounting a loudspeaker on a pole Caution! ! Two person lift and placement is recommended for the heavier loudspeakers. Single person lift and placement of heavier loudspeakers could cause injury. To mount a loudspeaker on a pole, do the following: 1. Place the subwoofer on a level and stable surface. 2. Insert the M20 threaded pole into the combo pole cup on the top of the subwoofer. 3. Turn the M20 threaded pole clockwise to secure the pole to the subwoofer. 4.
en 3.2 15 Floor monitor ELX200-10P, ELX200-12P, and ELX200-15P loudspeakers may be used as a floor monitor by placing the loudspeaker on the integral monitor angle. To set up a loudspeaker as a floor monitor, do the following: 1. Place the loudspeaker on a level and stable surface. 2. Safely route cables to prevent injury to performers, production crew, and audience members. Notice! Secure cables with wire ties or tape whenever possible.
ELX200 Powered Loudspeakers 4 Suspension The ELX200 enclosures have three M10 threaded points; two points on top of the enclosure and one point on the bottom. Forged shoulder eyebolts rated for overhead suspension may be used to suspend an individual loudspeaker, such as the EBK1-M10-3PACK accessory. Warning! Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects overhead.
en 17 Installing the eyebolts To install the eyebolts, do the following: 1. Remove the three fly point covers from the suspension points. 2. Install M10 eyebolts and fender washers into the suspension points. Warning! ! Eyebolts must be fully seated and oriented in the plane of pull. Always use fender washers at least 1.5 inch in diameter and 1/16 inch thick under the eyebolt to distribute the load on the enclosure. A B Figure 4.

ELX200 Powered Loudspeakers 8 Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause(s) Action 1. Amplifier Connect a known working test loudspeaker to the No sound amplifier outputs. If there is no sound, verify all the electronics are on, the signal routing is correct, the source is active; the volume is turned up, etc. Correct/repair/replace as necessary. If there is sound, the problem is wiring. Wiring Verify you have connected the correct cables to the amplifier.
en Problem Possible Cause(s) Action Incorrect gain Verify level controls of the source are properly structured structure or source by using the VU meter indicator on the LCD screen. If the input (mixing VU meter bar is solid or the system indicates LIMIT, the console/preamp) is input or source level is too high. 39 overdriven 7. Microphone Incorrect gain Reduce the microphone levels at the mixing console or produces acoustic structure input source.
