Installation 4 Installation Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the product against vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively. Create all connections while the device is off. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for all connections.
Installation WARNING! Hearing damage These devices can produce volume levels that may cause temporary or perma‐ nent hearing impairment in a short period of time. Set up the devices so that no persons can stay in their immediate vicinity. The devices must not be used as stage monitors. CAUTION! Risk of injury due to heavy weight Due to the heavy weight of the device, at least two persons are required for trans‐ port and installation.
Installation 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 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.
Installation 4.2 Hanging the speaker box To hang the speaker box on special mounting devices (aka ‘flying’) both sides of the box offer built-in Aeroquip or fly tracks. In these tracks safety eyelets (double studs) can be screwed or latched. Check the secure connection of the safety eyelets with the box carefully, before you use it in ‘flying mode’.

Installation 4.4 Setup options The Achat 208 HL (left-hand version) and the Achat 208 HR (right-hand version) are always operated in pairs. The side where the horn is located is marked with a grooved line and with "AIM". When viewed from the front, the grooved line shows the vertical orientation of the horn (8° downwards). This allows you to see where the main radiation axis hits the ground and you can determine the range of the box via the height in which it is operated.

Installation Single setup at both sides and in the centre of the stage # # 2 Adapter plate When you spread the two centre loudspeakers by approximately 10 cm, you will get a more even acoustic diffusion (about 100° horizontally). When the box walls of the the two centre loudspeakers are located directly to one another, maximum coupling with a high concentration of the medium frequencies is achieved.
