INTRODUCTION
eMOTUS8OD is an 8″ loudspeaker designed for outdoor installation. A compact and professional loudspeaker, with high performance and at a very attractive cost. Its fantastic performance and exclusive design means that it can be easily integrated into a large number of applications: theme parks, urban spaces, gardens, etc. Available in white and black.
MAIN FEATURES
- Two-way speaker, an 8″ woofer and a 1” tweeter
- 100WRMS @ 8Ω
- Power selector: 60 / 30 / 15 / 7,5 W for 70/100V line (+ 3,75W position for 70V line) and 8Ω position
- Designed for exteriors
- IP65 Rating
- Rubber cover to protect rear connections
- Available in white (RAL 9003) and black (RAL 9005)
CABLE CONNECTIONS
The eMOTUS8OD supports high or low impedance operation. In this sense, its rear panel has a 5-position switch to select its working mode. The first 4 positions allow the system to work in high impedance and the fifth in low impedance. (*) The 4 positions of the 100 V line power selector will allow you to configure the maximum power that each unit will work with. Thus, in areas where a low sound level is desired, the lower positions 7,5 or 15 W will be used; while in areas where a higher level is desired, the upper positions 30 or 60 W will be used. If the loudspeaker is used in 70V installations, the 3,75W position can also be used. In the case of 50V installations, the positions corresponding to the 100V position will be reduced by a quarter.
- The fifth position corresponds to low impedance operation (100 WRMS @8Ω). If you choose this configuration, you must take into account the limitations of the amplifier when connecting multiple speakers to its output, especially if the impedance of the set drops below 4Ω. It is also important that the connection cable between the amplifier outputs and the speakers be of good quality and as short as possible; this is especially important when the distances to be covered are large and the impedance of the speakers is low.

Note : The 100V/70V line speaker distribution system historically arose from the technical need to mix loudspeakers of different impedances and/or powers on the same line or amplifier channel, all without having to worry about the total impedance of the resulting set. Additionally, this solution allows to use, with minimum power losses, long cable runs and of a significantly lower section than the one usually used in the low impedance installation. : The 100V/70V line speaker distribution system historically arose from the technical need to mix loudspeakers of different impedances and/or powers on the same line or amplifier channel, all without having to worry about the total impedance of the resulting set.

WARNING!: eMOTUS8OD is supplied as standard with the switch in the 100V/60W position. If you accidentally connect the system to a low impedance amplifier, it will not cause any damage to the loudspeaker but it will perform well below its performance. If you accidentally connect the loudspeaker to a 100V network with the switch in a 8Ω position, it will be severely damaged.
LOCATION, ASSEMBLY AND START-UP
On the packaging of the eMOTU8OD you will find everything you need to complete the installation of the unit.
The following general rules shall be observed:
- Always install the unit on solid and firm surfaces.
- For good sound reproduction there must be no obstacle between the speakers and the audience.
- Adapt the sound pressure levels to the needs of reproduction.
On the packaging of the eMOTUS8D you will find everything you need to complete the installation of the two units:
- Two articulated wall mounting brackets
- 5mm Allen key
- Two metal security cords (slings) against possible detachments, with their corresponding screws and fixing washers.
- Two two-terminal Euroblock connectors
- 8 adhesive feet for tabletop placement
- Quick User Guide
- Warranty Card
Wall installation procedure:
- Drill three 6 mm holes in the wall, matching the position of the holes in the bracket.
- Insert three 6 mm wall plugs into them.
- Fasten the safety sling on the speaker using the provided screw and hook up the sling’s carabiner-ended side a to a secure anchor point.
- Place the bracket in place, previously passing the speaker line and speaker wire through the square hole in the bracket. Attach the bracket to the wall. Connect the speaker cable to the connector on the back of the box using the supplied Euroblock connector. Pay attention to the correct polarity of the terminals and that the cable passes through the square-shaped hole in the bracket. It is recommended that the supplied protective cover be fitted when the speaker is installed outdoors.
- Place the speaker in its final position by sliding it vertically downward so that the guide on its back side matches the guide on the bracket.
- Hold the safety wire at the back of the speaker so that the speaker does not accidentally fall and cause damage to property and/or personnel.
- Orient the loudspeaker to the desired position on the vertical and horizontal axes. Tighten the Allen screws on the bracket to fix this position on both axes.
- Set the power selector to the desired position.
