Installation and Connections

Before setting up the XPRS2 Series speaker, carefully consider the installation location to ensure the best possible sound quality. Keep in mind that the sound may be affected by room conditions, so take into account the size, shape, and materials of the room. AlphaTheta Corporation will not be liable for any damages arising from use of the speaker, regardless of the installation method used. When moving and installing the speaker, use the handles on the top or sides to avoid damage or injury. Maintain a minimum distance of 30 cm between each speaker and nearby walls or other components to ensure proper cooling.

Connections

The XPRS2 Series speakers feature multiple input options for versatile connectivity:

• INPUT 1: balanced input for sources such as mixing consoles, instruments, or microphones, using a 1/4-inch TRS or XLR connector.
• INPUT 2: balanced input for sources such as mixing consoles, instruments, or microphones, using a 1/4-inch TRS or XLR connector.
• Hl-Z/LINE: input for guitars or other high-impedance instruments, with dedicated signal light.
• STEREO: line-level input for stereo sources, with level control.
• MIX OUT: XLR output for sending mixed signals to other speakers or subwoofers, with level control.

Controls

The XPRS2 Series speakers offer easy control over various parameters:

• INPUT LEVEL: individual level control for each input channel.
• MASTER VOL: overall volume control for the speaker.
• DSP DISPLAY: interface for digital signal processing, with options for EQ, delay, and more.

Usage

To use the XPRS2 Series speakers, follow these steps:

1. Connect the power cord to AC IN and then to the power outlet. The POWER LED and the LCD screen will light up.
2. Choose the appropriate input channel (INPUT 1-2, Hl-Z/LINE, or STEREO) and adjust the INPUT LEVEL as needed.
3. If using a guitar or other high-impedance instrument, connect it to the Hl-Z/LINE input and adjust the level accordingly. The Hl-Z signal light should turn on.
4. If using a microphone or other low-impedance source, connect it to either INPUT 1 or 2 and adjust the level accordingly. The MIC signal light should turn on.
5. If using a stereo source, connect it to the STEREO input and adjust the level as needed.
6. If sending mixed signals to other speakers or subwoofers, connect them to the MIX OUT and adjust the level as needed.
7. To further adjust the sound, use the DSP DISPLAY interface to access various digital signal processing options such as EQ, delay, and more.
8. Adjust the MASTER VOL as needed for overall volume control.

Always follow proper safety precautions when using the XPRS2 Series speakers, and refer to the Instruction Manual and Precautions for Use for more detailed information.

Installation and connections

Important notes on installation

The sound produced by the speaker is subtly influenced by the conditions of the room you use it in. Carefully consider the installation location before setting up the speaker to ensure the best possible conditions. AlphaTheta Corporation will not be liable for any damages arising from use of the speaker (including but not limited to loss of business opportunities), regardless of the installation method used. Be sure to use the handles on the top or the sides of the speaker when moving and installing it.

CAUTION
To help proper cooling, please make sure enough space is kept between each speaker and nearby walls or other components (minimum 30 cm or more above, behind, and to the sides of each speaker). Leaving insufficient space may cause the temperature inside the speaker to rise, leading to malfunction or permanent damage.

Installation using a speaker pole

XPRS102/XPRS122 The full-range models of the XPRS2 Series have a 35-mm- diameter pole socket on the bottom surface. The subwoofer model of the XPRS2 Series have a 35-mm-diameter pole socket on the top surface in which the pole can be secured firmly. The combinations shown in the following diagrams are recommended for the XPRS2 Series. Using a different combination may result in the speakers toppling over and possibly causing damage or injury. To use a speaker pole, check the cautions below and perform the installation safely.

CAUTION

• At least two people should lift each speaker together to install it. Be sure to give enough consideration to safety when performing the work.
• Use a 35-mm-diameter speaker pole. Use a commercially-available product with a length of 900 mm or less. AlphaTheta Corporation will not be liable for any damages (including but not limited to loss of business opportunities) arising from the use of a speaker pole other than the type specified.
• Install the subwoofer in a stable location and secure the speaker pole firmly.
• Ensure there is no danger of speakers toppling over.
• Cables should be taped or tied together with suitable tape or cable ties to avoid the danger of tripping on the cables and causing the speakers to topple over.

Installation using the rigging points on the speaker

• The full-range models have suspension-mounting rigging points on them. The speaker can be suspended using commercially-available eye bolts. The rigging point has an M10 screw hole (for an eye bolt with a thread length of 30 mm – 50 mm).
• When installing the speaker suspended, ask a qualified technician to perform the work.
• Remove the screws from the rigging points on the speaker and attach eye bolts. Do not use the speaker while the screws are removed. The sound will be adversely affected by air leakage.
• Be sure to use at least three rigging points to suspend the speaker. Furthermore, be sure to also implement an extra safety measure such as using a wire.
• Use brackets, wires, and a wall or ceiling strong enough to bear the weight of the speaker. Ask for commercially-available brackets at the shop where you purchased the speaker.
• Be sure to confirm the safety after installing the speaker and periodically thereafter.

Connections

Active subwoofer and active satellite speaker

CAUTION
Make your initial connections with all the equipment powered off and ensure all the main volume controls are turned down completely.

1. Connect one end of a signal cable to the Output Left/Right on your mixer and connect the other end of the cable to the Line Input on the corresponding (left or right) active subwoofer.
2. Connect one end of another signal cable into the Link Left/Right or Out Left/Right of the active subwoofer, and connect the other end to the Line Input Left/Right of the active satellite speaker.
3. Connect the power cord to a mains supply.
4. Turn on your mixer first, then the active speakers.
5. Turn up the volume control of the active speakers.
6. Use the PFL function on the mixer to get the proper input level, and adjust the Main Mix Level control to reach the desired output level.
7. When finished, turn off your active speakers first, then the mixer.
