driver
Power:| 800 W continuous program power capacity
Dispersion:| 80° x 80° nominal coverage
Freq Range:| 45 Hz – 18 kHz
Sensitivity:| 100 dB/1W/IM

Amplifier Enclosure
In sound systems, the amplifier is the last component before the drivers. It receives a signal from the source equipment and amplifies it to power the drivers. The SS-200 system amplifier may be located either inside a portable rack, as shown in Figure 4, or a permanent wall rack, as shown in Figure 5.

Note: Both types of amplifier enclosure are not to be mounted outdoors or exposed to inclement weather.

Refer to Mounting the Control Enclosure (p.7) and Permanent System (p.9) for more information about the control enclosure.
Audio Control Rack
The Sportsound SS-200 audio system is compatible with all Daktronics standard control racks. Refer to the manual provided with the control rack for proper operation.
Note: The SS-200 will typically be controlled by the SSR-AM mixer. For more information, refer to the Sportsound SSR-AM Quick Guide (DD3638236).

Signal Cables
Audio cable is hardwired to the speaker using 30′ (9.1 m) 2-conductor 12 gauge wire.
The speaker wire may be wired directly to the amplifier rack or, more commonly, to one or more junction boxes in between for longer distances. Additional cable is as follows:

• Portable amp racks require a 30′ (9.1 m) 8-conductor Speakon cable from a speaker junction box.
• Permanent amp racks require 1-pair, 22AWG cable to a signal input plate near the control location.
• Both portable and permanent amp racks use 12′ (3.7 m) or 25 (7.6 m) XLR cable, depending on which is provided with the control rack.

Mechanical Installation

A qualified technician must install the speaker(s) and control enclosure. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that a qualified structural engineer approves the mounting structure and any additional attachment hardware.

A speaker must be installed approximately 12′ – 20′ (3.7 m – 6.1 m) in the air and no farther than 50′ (15.2 m) from the center of the seating area for optimal audio coverage.
Note: Daktronics assumes no responsibility for the structure’s integrity. The engineer responsible for the attached-to base structure shall evaluate the adequacy of their structure to support the gravity loads imparted by the cabinet at each attachment point in combination with other associated loading conditions.
Daktronics assumes no responsibility for system damage or injury resulting from installation methods that deviate from attachment details specified on shop drawings. Daktronics also assumes no liability for system damage or injury resulting from incorrect setup or lifting methods performed by non- Daktronics employees.

Speaker Installation
Mechanical installation consists of lifting and mounting the speaker(s) onto an existing support structure and then aiming to ensure sound covers the intended listening area. Speaker mounting hardware is ordered with the speaker. Depending on the hardware,
speakers can be installed on a pole, wall, or roof.

Note: Speakers should never be installed facing upward. This will void the warranty.

Troubleshooting

This section lists potential problems with the system, indicates possible causes, and suggests corrective action. This list does not include every possible problem, but it does represent some of the more common situations that may occur.
Note: Be sure to power on the audio control rack and amplifier rack. Make sure all connections from source to the speakers are intact.

files
Clipping audio at source (audio control rack) output| Bring source level down below clip.
Audio from speakers is intermittent| Amplifier modules are over driven into protect mode| Reduce source output level.
Signal cable connection issue| Check signal path from speaker to J-box(es) to amplifier rack to control rack
Low or no audio from one or more speakers| Attenuator knob is turned down on one or more channels| Ensure that Channel Attenuators are turned fully clockwise.

For more troubleshooting steps, refer to the appropriate audio control rack manual.
Amplifier Indicators
The amplifier in the control enclosure features several LED indicators that are helpful when trying to diagnose issues with the audio system. Refer to Figure 7 and the following descriptions (LED color is in parentheses).

• FAULT (Red): Indicates channel shutdown to protect circuits.

• THERMAL (Red): Indicates channel is at or over temp.

• CLIP (Red/Amber): Red indicates a clipping signal; amber indicates channel is limiting.
  REDUCE MIXER OUTPUT LEVEL!

• SIGNAL (Green): Indicates -40 dB of signal is present; useful for troubleshooting cable runs.

• READY (Green): Indicates channel is ready to pass audio.

The amplifier also includes a “shark fin” LED indicator. Refer to Figure 8.

• When illuminated green, the shark fin indicates that the amp is plugged in and receiving power from an AC power source, but the unit is not on and therefore will not pass audio.
• When illuminated blue, the shark fin indicates that the amp is powered on and able to pass audio.

Note: If the shark fin stays green, it may be necessary to press the rear power button. Refer to Figure 9.
Refer to amplifier manual listed in Appendix B for more information.

The End User’s remedy in any dispute under this Warranty shall be ultimately limited to the Purchase Price of the Equipment to the extent the Purchase Price has been paid.
4. Assignment of Rights
A. The Warranty contained herein extends only to the End User (which may be the Purchaser) of the Equipment and no attempt to extend the Warranty to any subsequent user-transferee of the Equipment shall be valid or enforceable without the express written consent of Daktronics.
5. Governing Law; Election of Remedies
A. The rights and obligations of the parties under this Warranty shall not be governed by the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods of 1980. The parties consent to the application of the laws of the State of South Dakota to govern, interpret, and enforce each of the parties’ rights, duties, and obligations arising from, or relating in any manner to, the subject matter of this Warranty, without regard to conflict of law principles.
B. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising from or related to this Warranty, the parties shall first attempt to settle through negotiations. In the event that no resolution is reached, then such dispute, controversy, or claim shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The place of the arbitration shall be Sioux Falls, SD. A single arbitrator selected by the parties shall preside over the proceeding. If a single arbitrator cannot be agreed upon by the parties, each party shall select an arbitrator, and those arbitrators shall confer and agree on the appointed arbitrator to adjudicate the arbitration. The arbitrator shall have the power to grant any provisional or final remedy or relief that it deems appropriate, including conservatory measures and an award of attorneys’ fees. The arbitrator shall make its decisions in accordance with applicable law. By agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitrator shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the Parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any Party to respect the arbitrator’s orders to that effect.
6. Availability of Extended Service Agreement
A. For End User’s protection, in addition to that afforded by the warranties set forth herein, End User may purchase extended warranty services to cover the Equipment. The Extended Service Agreement, available from Daktronics, provides for electronic parts repair and/or on-site labor for an extended period from the date of expiration of this warranty. Alternatively, an Extended Service Agreement may be purchased in conjunction with this Warranty for extended additional services.
