Safety instructions 2 Safety instructions Intended use This device is designed for sound reinforcement. Use the device only as described in this user manual. Any other use or use under other operating conditions is considered 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 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 sufficient ear protectors.
Safety instructions NOTICE! Possible staining The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly react with the coating of your parquet, linoleum, laminate or PVC floor and after some time cause permanent dark stains. In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the floor, but use felt-pad floor protectors or a carpet.

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 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.
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 Terminals for wiring ‘Bass to 1’ In order to use the terminals for wiring ‘Bass to 1’, turn the cover of the connector panel so that the notches are in horizontal position.
Installation With this wiring option, you can connect the bass directly using a two-wire cable (wires 1+/1–). If you are using four-wire cables, you can use heads that receive their signal via wires 2+/ 2– and loop wires 1+/ 1– through. The bass is connected to wires 1+/1– and loops wires 2+/ 2– through. The order in which the speakers are wired doesn't matter. Never fall below the min‐ imum load impedance, though.
Installation 4.3 Connecting to the Achat system In order to use the terminals for the Achat system wiring, turn the cover of the connector panel so that the notches are in vertical position.
Installation These terminals allow for easy wiring with four-wire cables, as the heads get their signal via wires 1+/ 1– and loop wires 2+/ 2– through; the bass is connected to wires 2+/2– and loops wires 1+/ 1– through. The order in which the speakers are wired doesn't matter. Never fall below the minimum load impedance, though.
