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 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! Operating conditions This device has been designed for indoor use only.

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.
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 Connections for wiring method ‘Bass to 1’ In order to use the connections for the wiring ‘Bass to 1’ rotate the connection panel cover in a way that the notches are in horizontal position.
Installation With this connecting method you can connect the woofer directly using a two-wire cable (wires 1+/1–). If using four-wire cables you can use those kind of top speakers that receive their signals through wires 2+/ 2– and interconnect wires 1+/ 1–. The woofer is connected to wires 1+/ 1– and interconnects wires 2+/ 2–. The order in which the speakers are connected doesn't matter, but the minimum load impedance of the amplifier must never be deceeded.
Installation 4.3 Connections for wiring method ‘Bass to 2’ In order to use the connections for the wiring ‘Bass to 1’ rotate the connection panel cover in a way that the notches are in vertical position.
Installation These connections allow for simple wiring using four-wire cables, as the top speakers receive their signal through wires 1+/ 1– and interconnect wires 2+/ 2–. The woofer is connected to wires 2+/ 2– and interconnects wires 1+/ 1–. The order in which the speakers are connected doesn't matter, but the minimum load impedance of the amplifier must never be deceeded.
