Every effort has been made to ensure that our products meet your requirements and we sincerely hope that we will live up to your expectations. To get the most out of your Mach speakers and ensure an easy and trouble-free installation please read the manual carefully and follow the instructions.
The C-range The C-range has been designed specifically for professional installations as a high quality, ultra-flexible solution with either a U-bracket or eyebolts included in one convenient package. The cabinets have been shaped to achieve both an appealing and attractive appearance and very easy mounting and positioning. Special care has been taken to ensure that a minimum of tools (and time) is required for mounting and adjusting the speakers.
Your CM15 package should contain the following items: 1 Speaker 1 Spider bracket (mounted on speaker cabinet) 3 Eyebolts 1 Manual 1 Speakon connector Eyebolt Manual Speakon Spider bracket Your CM18 package should contain the following items: 1 Speaker 1 Spider bracket (mounted on speaker cabinet) 3 Eyebolts 1 Manual 1 Speakon connector Eyebolt Manual Speakon Spider bracket 5
Description of the C-range speakers The range can be divided into 3 different groups of products: - - - CN o Near-field top boxes and full-range speakers for medium SPL application where ultimate sound quality is required at low-to-medium SPL with low-to-medium projection and with wide dispersion. o Medium-throw top boxes and full-range speakers for high SPL applications where ultimate sound quality is required at medium-to-high SPL with medium projection and with more focused dispersion.
Installation Your new Mach C-range speaker is one of the most versatile products on the market and every possible effort has been made to make it quick and easy to install your product. The many different installation options available will be described below. Mounting points on the cabinet The mounting points on the CN and CM cabinets are shown in the illustration below. B A A A A Top view Bottom view In total the cabinet has 18 mounting points four of which are vertically adjustable (A).
Spider bracket All CN12 and CM12 speakers are supplied with the revolutionary spider bracket shown below. The bracket can be mounted vertically and horizontally depending on the direction the speaker should be flown and enables easy mounting with a minimum of time and effort. 1. 2. 3.
How to install your C-range speaker on the optional Multibracket The C-range is available with an optional Multibracket that represents the optimum solution for many types of wall and ceiling installations. Adjusting the angle Loosen the vertical adjustment locking bolt, remove the locking pin and adjust the bracket to the required vertical position. Replace the locking pin and tighten the locking bolt. Adjust the bracket horizontally and tighten the locking bolt underneath the arm.
To mount a CN or CM cabinet on a wall please use the following procedure 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
How to install your C-range speaker with the U-bracket All the smaller models in the C-range are supplied with a U-bracket as standard. For many installation purposes this bracket will be the optimum solution as it is very versatile and easy to use. Illustrated below are a number of ways to use the U-Bracket.
How to mount speaker with eyebolts For some installations, especially of the larger speakers in the C-range, the ideal way to mount the speaker is by hanging the cabinet in a wire or chain attached to the speaker with an eyebolt. All mounting points use standard 10mm metric thread for maximum flexibility. To screw an eyebolt into the cabinet, first select where to position the bolt and unscrew the blind bolt already in place. The eyebolt should be tightened with no more than 5 NM (3.7 ft-lbs).
Rotatable horn The CM12, CM15 and CM18 feature a rotatable horn that allows the speaker to be flown vertically or horizontally and still maintain the required dispersion. The default positioning of the horn is for horizontal installation. If vertical installation is required remove the grille and unscrew the horn base-plate (On the CM12 unscrew the actual horn). The horn can now be rotated 90 degrees to achieve the required dispersion.
Connection The C-range has a flexible and user-friendly connection module with double connectors, which gives the user the choice of using NL-4 connectors or screw terminals. Speakon® 2-pole cable connector with latch lock. Suited for 4-pole chassis connector using +1/-1 contacts. Speakon Barrier strip 1+ 1- 22+ How to connect speaker cable to barrier strip terminals The barrier strip terminals are a quick and easy way to connect the speaker to an amplifier without using a connector.
Connecting to amplifiers and system configurations The way you connect your C-range speakers to your amplifier depends on the type of installation that you are making and the type of amplifier used. Cables To get the best possible performance from your C-range speaker, use high quality cable. Cables with high capacitance, high inductance and high impedance have a strong negative influence on sound quality as well as amplifier reliability.
Parallel system CN12 If you require more speakers for better sound distribution and you only have a limited number of output channels on your amplifier, you can connect more than one speaker to each channel. This can be done by linking the speakers for each channel in parallel as illustrated. However, always remember to check the minimum loading impedance specified for the amplifier.
System configuration For maximum flexibility, all Mach CM speakers can run either passive, using the built-in crossover, or active/biamped with direct drive of each transducer. The speakers are all set up as passive from the factory, but can easily be switched over to active mode at a later stage.
Switching between Passive and Active mode For the CM series Mach has developed a completely new, extremely safe and user friendly way to switch between Passive and Active mode. The procedure is very quick and simple: 1. Unscrew the lid on the terminal plate with the two screws 2. Remove the Molex connector from the passive socket 3. Insert the Molex connector into the active socket 4. Turn the lid 180 degrees 5. Reposition the lid on the terminal plate 6.
Parallel system in passive mode CM12, CM15 and CM18 If you require more speakers for better sound distribution and you only have a limited number of output channels on your amplifier, you can connect more than one speaker to each channel. This can be done by linking the speakers for each channel in parallel as illustrated. However, always remember to check the minimum loading impedance specified for the amplifier.
Configuring your Mach CM system for active mode operation The Mach CM products were designed with maximum flexibility in mind, not only in terms of mounting and adjustments but also in terms of connection and configuration. In the following some of the most common ways of configuring your system for active mode operation will be illustrated. Please note that this manual does not go into detail about the use of the Mach 20.
Bi-amp 2-way In bi-amp 2-way configurations each transducer is driven by a separate amplifier and the system is crossed over directly by the M20.06 for 2-way full range output. Amplifier HF Output Crossover M.20.
Triple-amp 3-way In a triple-amp 3-way system each transducer is run by a separate amplifier and all signal modulation is done by the M20.06. Amplifier HF Output Input Crossover M.20.
Painting the speaker The C-range cabinets are made of MDF coated with Mach Safecoat and can easily be painted to match the color scheme of your venue. To paint your speaker please follow the procedure below: 1. Remove the front grille 2. Degrease the cabinet on all surfaces with denatured alcohol/methylated spirit Warning: Use of other types of cleaning chemicals can damage the cabinet and should be avoided 3.
Maintenance of speakers Although speaker systems normally only require very limited maintenance there are several things you can do to ensure that your Mach system sounds as good 3 years after installation as on the day you bought it: Never overload your system – stay within the specified limits for power handling. Always keep the speaker clean and dry. As with any electrical product, currents will accelerate corrosion of metal surfaces.
