> PRINT GUIDES MAINS CONNECTION The M2 is supplied with a captive mains lead with an integral U.K. BS1363 3 pin plug. Should the moulded plug be removed and another plug substituted the cable must be re-wired as below. GREEN/YELLOW - EARTH BROWN - LIVE BLUE - NEUTRAL WARNING: The M2 Controller must always be operated with the mains safety earth connected.
< > PRINT GUIDES 4.1 Tripod mounting The ICT500 incorporates a pole mounting socket to facilitate mounting on tripod stands. When using stands, the following precautions are advised: Ensure that the stand will support the weight of the speaker by checking the stand manufacturers rating. Make sure that the stand is placed on a level surface and that its legs are fully extended. Do not place more than one speaker on each stand.
> PRINT GUIDES M2 CONNECTIONS The M2 should be connected immediately preceding the power amplifier(s) and after any such devices as preamps, mixing desks or other equalisers. Input connections, which are balanced, are via combination XLR type sockets and TRS (tip/ring/sleeve) "stereo" jack sockets, wired as follows: Pin 1 / jack sleeve Pin 2 / jack tip Pin 3 / jack ring = = = Signal 0V Signal + (hot) Signal - (cold) If driving the M2 from an unbalanced source, mono jack plugs may be used.
> 7 PRINT GUIDES ICT 500 COMPACT LOUDSPEAKER The Martin Audio ICT500 is a compact full-range loudspeaker designed for professional applications where both compact size and high output are required. The ICT500 is capable of producing SPL’s normally associated with larger enclosures and its high efficiency and superior dynamic performance ensures smooth natural reproduction. The ICT500 has been engineered to combine high level reproduction with a very wide bandwidth, accuracy and maximum intelligibility.
8.2 > PRINT GUIDES Cable lengths When connecting an ICT500 to an amplifier, it is recommended that the return resistance of the cable used is less than one tenth of the nominal impedance of the system or systems in parallel. The table below gives an indication of the maximum permissible cable runs for various conductor cross-sectional areas driving 4 ohm loads.
