Safety instructions 2 Safety instructions Intended use This device is intended to be used in a sound reinforcement system. Use the device only as described in this user manual. Any other use or use under other operating conditions is consid‐ ered to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use.
Safety instructions DANGER! Electric shock caused by high voltages inside Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never remove any covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. DANGER! Electric shock caused by short-circuit Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a pro‐ tective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death or fire.
Safety instructions CAUTION! Possible hearing damage The device can produce volume levels that may cause temporary or permanent hearing impairment. Over an extended period of time, even levels that seem to be uncritical can cause hearing damage. Decrease the volume level immediately if you experience ringing in your ears or hearing impairment. If this is not possible, keep a greater distance or use suffi‐ cient ear protectors. NOTICE! Risk of fire Do not cover the device nor any ventilation slots.
Safety instructions NOTICE! Operating conditions This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and strong vibrations. NOTICE! Power supply Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker.

Installation 4 Installation Unpack and carefully check that there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the device against vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively. Establish all connections as long as the unit is switched off. Use the shortest possible highquality cables for all connections.
Installation NOTICE! Possible property damage by magnetic fields Loudspeakers produce a static magnetic field. Therefore, maintain an appropriate distance to devices that can be adversely affected or damaged by an external magnetic field. NOTICE! Use of stands When mounting the device onto a stand, ensure that the stand is in a safe and stable position and that the weight of the device does not exceed the maximum permissible load capacity of the stand.
Installation 4.1 Pin assignment You can use XLR and 1/4" plugs with balanced or unbalanced wiring. In the following we will give you an overview of the various possibilities. XLR connections for signal inputs and outputs XLR mounting sockets are used for signal inputs. XLR mounting plugs provide the output sig‐ nals. Drawing and table indicate the XLR pin assignment.
Installation Unbalanced wiring: 1/4" socket for signal inputs and outputs 1 Ground, shielding 2 Signal 3 Bridged to pin 1 Drawing and table indicate the pin assignment for a 1/4" TS phone jack to be used.

Installation 4.2 Tips on handling speakers We recommend you to set up the speakers in a way, that the sound signals can reach the audi‐ ence unobstructedly. It will often be helpful to mount the speakers on tripods. Thus, the sound will be evenly spread with maximum range throughout the audience area. Always use high grade cable to connect your equipment. Otherwise you won't reach max‐ imum sound quality. If you notice distortion during operation, the active speaker is overloaded.
Connections and operating elements 5 Connections and operating elements 1 I / O (ON/OFF) Use the mains switch to power the unit on or off. 2 Connection for mains supply voltage IEC chassis connector with fuse holder for operating voltage supply. If this fuse blows, you have to replace it by a new one with same specifications. Before you must disconnect the unit from the mains power. 3 OUTPUT XLR mounting plug for line signal output. 4 INPUT XLR/1/4" combo socket for line signal input.
Connections and operating elements 6 120Hz LOW CUT Use this switch to attenuate the low frequencies below 120 Hz. 7 VOLUME Volume control. 8 115 V / 230 V (AC) Mains voltage selector. Make sure this selector is set correctly for the actual supply voltage at the operating location. Use this switch only when the device is switched off! Use a suitable screwdriver.
