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). Do not modify the mains cable. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in doubt, seek advice from a registered electrician.
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 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. 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. If you notice distortion during operation, the active speaker is overloaded.
Connections and controls 5 Connections and controls TP 118/800 A 17
Connections and controls 1 [POWER ON / OFF] Mains switch to turn the device on/off. 2 [AC INPUT] Blue lockable powerCON® input socket (NAC3FA). 3 [AC OUTPUT] Grey lockable powerCON® output socket (NAC3FCB). This output is looped through from the blue input socket [AC INPUT]. You can use it to feed the power supply to the blue powerCON® input sockets [AC INPUT] of further ele‐ ments. 4 [LINE IN] Line signal input, designed as XLR chassis socket.
Connections and controls 6 [125 Hz HPF OUT] Top output for connecting satellite speakers, designed as XLR chassis plug. This output transmits audio signals with a frequency above125 Hz. 7 [VOLUME] Volume control. 8 [HIGH CUT ] Controller for adjusting the frequency of the high pass filter in a range of 55 to 200 Hz. 9 [PHASE ] If necessary, this switch shifts the phase of the subwoofer signal by 180°. This avoids unwanted cancellation effects in combination with other speakers.

Plug and connection assignment 7 Plug and connection assignment Introduction This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equip‐ ment in such a way that a perfect sound experience is ensured.
Plug and connection assignment Since the interference affects both cores equally, by subtracting the phase-shifted signals, the interfering signal is completely neutralized. The result is a pure signal without any noise inter‐ ference.
Protecting the environment 8 Protecting the environment Disposal of the packaging mate‐ rial For the transport and protective packaging, environmentally friendly materials have been chosen that can be supplied to normal recycling. Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are properly disposed of. Do not just dispose of these materials with your normal household waste, but make sure that they are collected for recycling.
