Atlas IED ALA5TAW Full Range Line Array Speaker System

Product Information

The ALA5TAW Full Range Line Array Speaker System is a professional loudspeaker system designed to deliver high-quality sound. It features a built-in, high efficiency 60 Watt 70.7V/100V transformer with 7.5, 15, 30, and 60 Watt taps. The system operates in a frequency range of 3500Hz to 5.9kHz and has a maximum input rating of 116.8dB SPL (peak).

Safety Instructions

• When using the ALA5TAW speaker system, it is important to take precautions to avoid hearing damage. The system is capable of generating very high sound pressure levels, so care should be taken with placement and operation to prevent exposure to excessive levels that can cause permanent hearing damage.
• Proper installation of the speaker system is crucial to ensure safety. It is recommended to have the installation carried out by fully qualified installers who have the necessary training and expertise. Improper installation may result in injury, death, equipment damage, and legal liability. Before installing the product, it is essential to consult with the Building Inspector office to check for any legal requirements and ensure compliance with safety codes and standards.

Installation Instructions

1. Run the wiring from the power amplifier to the desired location for mounting the ALA Series speaker.
2. Attach the wall bracket to the wall using appropriate wall anchors. Ensure that the bracket is straight and securely attached using all four screw holes.
3. Attach the speaker bracket to the wall bracket by inserting the 20mm M8 bolt through the speaker bracket, internal tooth lock washer, and the wall bracket. Adjust the vertical and horizontal position of the speaker and torque the bolt sufficiently to hold the position.
4. Establish electrical connection by using the built-in transformer with 7.5, 15, 30, and 60 Watt taps.
5. Secure the terminal cover to the terminal plate using the two middle terminal plate screws. Ensure that an IP54 (min) rated, 3/4 (21mm) conduit or cable gland connector is used for all applications.

By following these installation instructions, you can ensure proper setup and operation of the ALA5TAW Full Range Line Array Speaker System.

Hearing Damage

CAUTION : All professional loudspeaker systems are capable of generating very high sound pressure levels. Use care with placement and operation to avoid exposure to excessive levels that can cause permanent hearing damage.

Suspension and Mounting

• Installing speaker systems requires training and expertise. Improper speaker installation may result in injury, death, equipment damage, and legal liability. Installation must be carried out by fully qualified installers, in accordance with all required safety codes and standards at the place of installation.
• Legal requirements for overhead installation vary by municipality, please consult the Building Inspector office before installing any product and thoroughly check any laws and bylaws prior to installation. Installers that lack the skills, training, and proper ancillary equipment to install a speaker system should not attempt to do so.

Installation

1. Run the wiring from the power amplifier to the location desired for mounting the ALA Series speaker.

2. Attach the wall bracket to the wall. Use a level to be certain that the wall bracket is straight. Secure the wall bracket to the wall. Be sure to use the appropriate wall anchors when attaching the bracket. Use all four screw holes for maximum integrity and safety.
   Note : Hardware for attaching the wall bracket to the wall is not included.

3. Attach the short or medium length speaker bracket to the speaker sliding mount block. Use the short bracket for 0° to 17°. Use the medium bracket for 17° to 26°.

4. A. Position the speaker bracket over the sliding mount block as shown in Fig. 2a and 2b.

5. B. Insert the 100mm M8 bolt through the speaker bracket and the sliding mount block. Be sure to include the plain washers and one lock washer as shown.

   Note : A removable jumper and additional pole on the terminal block is included for transformer operation. The jumper must be removed for low impedance (6Ω) direct coupled operation.
   Connections are provided on the terminal for both transformer and low impedance connection. An NL4 Speakon® connector is included for low impedance (6Ω) direct coupled operation.
   Note : When using the Speakon® input connection, the jumper must be removed from the barrier terminal.

10. Use the two middle terminal plate screws to secure the terminal cover (included) to the terminal plate. All applications require an IP54 (min) rated, 3/4″ (21mm) conduit or cable gland connector
