UNPACKING

NEXT Audiocom T Series are built under quality supervision of NEXT Audiocom, according to the highest standards. When unpacking your element, carefully examine it for any signs of possible transit damage and inform your dealer immediately if any such damage has occurred.
It is suggested that you retain the original packaging so that the cabinet can be repacked in the future if necessary. Please note that NEXT Audiocom and its authorized distributors cannot accept any responsibility for damage to any returned product through the use of non-approved packaging.

T SERIES OVERVIEW

The T Series range comprehends the T4, a 4” LF transducer and a 0.8“ Dome Tweeter, the T6, a 6.5” LF driver with a 1“ HF Driver, and finally the T8 composed by a 8” LF transducer with a 1“ HF Driver.
The whole series ‘ speakers are housed in a stylish weatherproof plastic cabinet (IP65 – using the back cover) providing an excellent architectural integration, both indoor and outdoor.
This speaker is an ideal solution for PA applications in restaurants, bars, malls or conferences. The very accurate speaker’s coverage allows the people, among the audience, to perceive the sound in the same way.
For even greater versatility, the whole series’ speakers can be used at 100V or 16Ω. In high-impedance (100V) operation, a multi tap transformer is available with 3 difierent taps.

T SERIES ACCESSORIES

All the speakers from T Series come with a U-Bracket included on the packaging. All the U-Brackets are made from Steel with a Hot-dip Galvanization, coating the steel with a layer of zinc, turning it resistant to corrosion. Other wall brackets (with pan and tilt) are available for T4, T6 and T8 speakers.

SAFETY FIRST

The speaker is protected against dust and splash water (only with back cover on) thus can be used in outdoor areas (IP65). DO NOT IMMERSE THE PRODUCT IN WATER, THIS WILL DESTROY IT.
Never place your speaker in a way that prevents air flow near to the side bass reflex ports. A minimum clearance distance of 10cm should be kept between the ports and any nearsurface.
Never use your speaker too close to any heat source, such as radiators, or any other device that produces heat. Recommended temperature: -5ºC to +45ºC.
Place cables in a way that they do not present a trip hazard.
Do not place any objects on top of the speaker, they can fall accidentally and cause injuries.
Do not attempt to move the speaker while connected.
Do not attempt to service the speaker beyond what is described in this manual. All other service or repair of this product should be carried only by qualified personnel.
To prevent electric shock, do not use any extension cord, receptacle or other outlets where the blades of the connectors cannot be fully inserted.
Do not operate the unit for an extended period of time with the sound distorting.
When connecting several speakers, make sure that all the speakers have the same polarity and that the amplifier is not overloaded.
Adjust the rotary switch to the desired power rating for the 100V operation or select the 16Ω position, for directly operating the speaker at a low-impedance amplifier output.

RIGGING AND SUSPENSION SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Before rigging or suspending T series systems, inspect all components and all hardware for any signs of damaged or missing parts. If you find any damaged, corroded or deformed parts, do not use them, replace them immediately.
Use only the recommended NEXT Audiocom wall brackets. Doing otherwise may cause the element to fall oﬀ, resulting in personal injury.
Install the unit only in a location that can structurally support the weight of the unit and the mounting bracket. Doing otherwise may cause the element to fall oﬀ, resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.
Use nuts and bolts that are appropriate for the wall’s materials and structure. Doing otherwise may cause the element to fall oﬀ, resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.

GETTING STARTED

CONNECTIONS

The T Series speakers are equipped with a 4-positions Phoenix connector located on the back plate. The first two pins correspond to IN- / IN+, and the last two pins are Link- / Link+, internally linked to the input sockets.
To connect the speaker, firstly unscrew the two silver screws and remove the plug. Screw the wires to the plug and re-attach it to the speaker.
The screw connector provides a faster and easier way to wire the system allowing the speaker to perfectly fit the wall shape while keeps invisible.

100V TAP SELECTOR

Every speakers from T Series are equipped with a multi-tap 100V transformer. There is a rotary selector placed on the back panel, near the connections plug. On this section the user can find five difierent switch positions according to the pretended 100V power and impedance needed. The first three positions are related to 100V, the fourth position shuts the speaker OFF – no sound will come from the speaker – the last position is meant to be used on low impedance operation (16).
To change the switch position a flat screwdriver is recommended.
On the T4, the selectable power taps are 10W, 20W and 40W.
On the T6, the available power taps are 20W, 40W, and 80W.
On the T8, the available power taps are 37.5W, 75W, and 150W.

BACK COVER

Before exposing the speaker to rain or highly humid environments, please make sure that back cover is correctly installed and the cable gland is firmly screwed on. Adjust the power tap before applying the back cover.
Note: The IP65 can only be achieved when the back cover is in place.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Simple troubleshooting does not require sophisticated measurement equipment and can be easily undertaken by users. The technique should be to segment the system in order to identify the faulty system component. A simple sweep with a sine wave generator can be very helpful though it MUST be made at a fairly low level to prevent damage to the speakers. A sine wave sweep can help find:

Vibrations due to loose screws.
Air-leak noises: check that no screws are missing, particularly where the accessories attach to the cabinet.
Vibrations due to a front grille badly positioned on the quick release fixings.
Foreign object that has fallen into the cabinet after repair or through the ports.
Internal connection wires or absorbing material touching the loudspeaker diaphragm
