OHM’S LAW AND THE HOT SPOT ® All unpowered HOT SPOTS and MICRO SPOTS have a 16 ohm impedance, and like most professional-type speakers have jacks which are wired in parallel (meaning the signal can travel into one jack and out of the other).Think of each speaker as a “load” added to the amplifier. The greater the number of speakers, the heavier the load. Adding too many speakers can overload the amplifier, causing it to overheat and distort.
affect the quality and volume of the sound. If you are having problems with any of these applications use Galaxy Audio’s CRICKET Polarity and Continuity Test Set to check the polarity of your cables. 16 x 16 Z= = 8 Ohms for two HOT SPOTS 16 + 16 8 x 16 Z= = 5.33 Ohms for three HOT SPOTS 8 + 16 5.33 x 16 Z= = 4 Ohms (the total load) 5.
SOUND REINFORCEMENT BASICS Avoiding feedback Feedback (the shriek sometimes emitted by PA systems) occurs when the microphone (or pickup) and speaker are positioned too close together for a given level of volume. Once feed back occurs, it will continue until either the volume is decreased or the microphone or speaker is moved. Gain is the degree to which the volume may be turned up before feedback begins. In setting up a sound system, the objective is to maximize gain.
Unpowered HOT SPOT 7(HS7)/MICRO SPOT(MS5) ® The HOT SPOT was created as the solution to the problem of musicians and public speakers not being able to hear themselves while performing. The HOT SPOT's design is unsurpassed in efficiently reproducing the crucial vocal range frequencies.
The HOT SPOT 7(HS7) and MICRO SPOT(MS5) The impedance of the HOT SPOT 7(HS7) and MICRO SPOT(MS5) is determined by the position of its volume control. Use the table below to determine the actual impedance.

POWERED MICRO SPOT MSPA/MSPA-DC The MSPA is similar to the Powered Hot Spot, with one major difference; it's half the size! The MSPA has a 30 watt amplifier, with a universal power supply. That means this unit can be used anywhere in the world as it will function on 90-250 VAC (volts AC) at 50/60 Hz. The MSPA delivers full frequency fidelity thanks to its full range 4.5” speaker. In addition to the standard AC input, MSPA-DC comes equipped with a 12volt DC input.

POWERED NANO SPOT NSPA The NSPA is the result of years of research and development to make the smallest and loudest speaker for it's size by Galaxy Audio. The NSPA has a 25-watt amplifier, with a universal power supply. That means this unit can be used anywhere in the world* as it will function on 100-240 VAC (volts AC) at 50/60 Hz. Using the NSPA (please see illustrations on pg. 13) · A Balance Mic signal may be plugged into the XLR Jack.

MOUNTING YOUR NANO SPOT (NSPA), MICRO SPOT (MS5) or HOT SPOT SERIES SPEAKERS The Micro Spot (MS5),the Nano Spot, and Powered Micro Spot are supplied with a bracket kit that allows either stand or wall mounting. Wall mount options are available for the Micro Spot (MS5) and PA6S HS7 from any Galaxy Audio dealer, or online at www.galaxyaudio.
Optional Boom Mount Hardware Part: MBA Mic Boom Part: MSB HS7 + PA6 Yoke Bracket Part: SA-YBRF Note: Follow instructions included with optional PA6S/HS7 yoke bracket kit. WALL/CEILING MOUNTING Galaxy Audio yoke brackets can be used for permanently mounting HS7, PA6S and MICRO SPOT loudspeakers to walls and ceilings. The mounting angle can be adjusted by simply loosening the wing screws at either end of the yoke and by loosening the bolt where the yoke mounts to the wall plate.
are smaller than the core diameter of the screw. Always use fasteners in all mounting holes and avoid over tightening, as this can weaken the mounting surface, damage the fasteners, and make the installation much less secure. SECONDARY SUPPORT: As we recommend the use of a secondary support for added safety, each yoke bracket is equipped with a safety cable. When properly installed it provides secondary support without inhibiting the adjustment of the bracket, and can be easily hidden out of sight.
plate of the bracket assembly as a template, mark the four hole locations. NOTE: Check that any holes you drill and the fasteners will not interfere with any wiring, plumbing, etc. that may be behind the mounting surface. Pull speaker wires through the mounting surface and the feed thru the hole in the bracket. Secure the bracket base plate. Do not over tighten fasteners! Bolt the yoke to the base plate and tighten with a 7/16" box end wrench.
