APPLICATION

The professional two-channel, bass-reflex sound box is recommended for use in larger rooms by professionals, as stage sound, or for bands. The sound box can be installed on a stand, or be laid on its side as a stage monitor. The sound box can be connected to an amplifier or a supported active sound box. Recommended active pair PAX 42BT, available separately.

COMMISSIONING

Use a speaker cable of the desired length and a cross-section suitable for the power output of the amplifier. This is normally a good quality copper wire of at least 2 x 1.5 mm2. Fit the cable with a SPEAKON connector. For further instructions contact a qualified technician! Make all connections of the sound system with the power supply disconnected! Have all components of the sound system switched off. Route the microphone cable, audio connection cables and speaker cables separately from the power supply cable! Before powering the appliance, check the connections for correct configuration! Ensure that all connections are stable and free of short circuit fault, and that the volume- control is set to minimum position, in order to avoid damage to the speakers due to a sudden blast of noise when turned on!

Maximum Volume Setting
All speakers should be run in before normal use. During the first 30 to 50 hours of operation, it is recommended to operate the speakers with up to 50% volume setting! Higher volume levels – in some cases – can result in distorted, low sound quality. This can be due to an excessively high input signal, or a higher degree of distortion associated with the low power output of the amplifier being used. In order to avoid this, decrease the volume.
The maximum volume of the system is the one that can still be heard in good quality without distortion.

Increasing the volume any further will not increase power output and will increase the distortion of the system! This can damage the speakers, and lead to defects.
Only set the volume to a level until no distortion can be heard! Sound quality can be influenced by the settings of the compression (rendering) program used for the MP3, etc. tracks and by the volume/tone setting of the given external audio device or mobile device.
If a microphone is connected, place it as far away from the sound box as possible to avoid excitation! Do not turn the speaker toward the microphone, as feedback will damage the speakers. When using a microphone, increase the volume carefully and, if you notice any excitation, immediately rewind the control and, if necessary, move the sound box to another position! The microphone should always be behind the sound boxes.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In case of any malfunction, turn off the appliance and disconnect it from the mains. Try to turn it back on later. If the problem persists, please review the list below. This guide may help you identify the issue, provided that the appliance is connected properly. Consult a specialist if necessary.

The speaker does not work, no sound is emitted.

The amplifier is not switched on.
– Check the condition of the connected amplifier.
The speaker cable is not connected correctly.
– Check the connection cable for correct configuration.
The volume control setting is incorrect.
– Check the setting of the connected amplifier, so that neither the master volume-control, nor the volume-controls of input devices are set to minimum position. Check the volume setting of the external signal source as well.
Audio cables are connected incorrectly.
– Check audio cables for correct connection corresponding to standards.
