IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This symbol, whenever it appears, alerts you to the presence of uninsulated,
dangerous voltage inside. Voltage that may be sufficient to constitute risk of
shock .
This symbol, whenever it appears, alerts you to important operating and
maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. Please read the
manual.
- READ INSTRUCTIONS: Retain safety and operating instructions for future reference. Heed all warnings printed here and on the equipment. Follow the operating instructions printed in this user guide.
- HANDLING Do not use nails, adhesives or other devices. Long term use and vibrations may cause speaker to fall. Do not touch or bump the woofer or tweeter. If these are damaged, the sound will be distorted.
- SERVICING Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical solvents as this may damage the paint surface; clean with a dry cloth.
- INSTALLATION When speakers are to be suspended from a ceiling, check that the ceiling structure is reliable and the speaker is firmly attached.
- Do not attach the speakers to fine wood or soft wall material. Doing so can cause the speaker to become unsecured and potentially cause personal injury or damage to the speaker.
- Be sure to use both cables. One is for hanging and one is for safety.
SET UP AND OPERATION
This speaker is designed to hang from the ceiling. A safety cable should be used when installing the speakers to avoid personal injury and damage to the speaker.
-
Set the speaker to the proper setting for your installation (25/70/100 V/8 ohm)
-
Install the top cover and fasten the provided eye-hook, nut and washer to the top cover and speaker as illustrated below.
-
At each speaker location, route the speaker cable(s) hanging from the ceiling area through the top cover, and dress the cables to the wire rope using plastic cable ties. If using a supplied back cover, slide the speaker cables through the back cover. Strip the ends of the cables approximately 1/8″ to 3/16″ (3 mm – 5 mm) and if the wire is stranded twist the strands.
-
Connect the wires from the amplifier (or the previous speaker) to the supplied terminal block, using the IN terminal; red to + and black to-. Please refer to the following pages for examples of various types of applications.
Attach the speakers to the safety cable. -
If mounting to the wall/ceiling with the mounting bracket, use the appropriate hardware and securely attach the bracket to the ceiling/wall.
NOTE: If the speaker is to be installed outdoors, you will need to purchase the optional accessories separately.
STANDARD 8 OHM APPLICATION
25/70/100 V APPLICATION
NOTE: The above example shows a total of five speakers. Using the 10W
setting, you will need an amplifier with at least 5 x 10 W = SOW. A good rule
of thumb to remember is that the total number of speakers multiplied by the
setting you select, cannot exceed the output power of the 25/70/100 V
amplifier. You should select an amplifier with 20% greater power; in this
example you would need an amplifier that delivers about 60 W.
When installing multiple rows of speakers, we strongly recommend multiple wire
runs. one run per row. We do not recommend a single wire run.
HANGING INFORMATION
Make sure the speaker is properly secured to the ceiling/building structure.
Please use the correct screw/bolt as failure to do so may cause the speaker to
become unsecured and cause damage and/or injury.
OPTIONAL WALL MOUNT
An optional wall mounting bracket part no. WB-P46W & WB-P46B is available.
When mounting the speaker to the wall make sure the correct screws/bolts and
anchors are used. We strongly suggest adding the safety cable to the speaker
and securing it to the building’s structure
