Important safety instructions

• The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
• The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Safety instructions – read this first

1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install under the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat source such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other such apparatus that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect power cords from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments and accessories specified by Void Acoustics.
12. Only use with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. Since the mains power supply cord attachment plug is used to disconnect the device, the plug should always be easily accessible.
16. Void loudspeakers can produce sound levels capable of causing permanent hearing damage from prolonged exposure. The higher the sound level, the less exposure is needed to cause such damage. Avoid prolonged exposure to the high sound levels from the loudspeaker.

Cable and Wiring

Electrical safety

To avoid electrical hazards please note the following:

• Do not access the inside of any electrical equipment. Refer servicing to Void-approved service agents.

Cable considerations for fixed installations

• We recommend specifying installation-grade Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) cables for permanent installations. The cables should use Oxygen Free Copper (OFC) of grade C11000 or above.
• Cables for permanent installations should be compliant with the following standards:
• IEC 60332.1 Fire retardancy of a single cable
• IEC 60332.3C Fire retardancy of bunched cables
• IEC 60754.1 Amount of Halogen Gas Emissions
• IEC 60754.2 Degree of acidity of released gases
• IEC 61034.2 Measurement of smoke density.
• We suggest using the following maximum copper cable lengths to keep level losses below 0.6 dB.

Phoenix connector

• Figure 4.1 shows the rear panel of a Cyclone Series loudspeaker with the polarity of the Phoenix connector labeled.
• When viewed from the rear the connectors are negative, positive, negative, positive, from left to right.

Cyclone gland connector wiring

• Remove both M6 bolts from the rear of the connector plate
• Undo the glanded connectors from the rear of the connector plate and remove the rubber plugs from the connectors.
• Insert the cable through the glanded connectors and tighten it.
• Attach the cable to the Phoenix connector then position the connector plate and attach it using the M6 bolts.

Appendix

• Void Acoustics’ weather-protected and IP-rated products are suitable for outdoor use, however, installations in highly corrosive environments, such as high salinity or the presence of corrosive chemicals such as chlorine, require additional care and maintenance. The following guide will help to prevent corrosion and prolong both the product aesthetics and sonic performance. It is recommended that this process is implemented weekly.
• Step 1 : Remove the grill as applicable and wash with deionized water, ensuring all build-up of contamination is removed completely from the grille and the foam (where fitted). Allow the foam to dry completely before reinstalling, protecting the loudspeaker accordingly in the interim.
• Step 2: Using a clean microfibre cloth and deionized water, use circular motions working from the top of the product down to remove contamination. Dry the product with a clean, dry microfibre cloth.
• Step 3 : Use a soft-bristled brush and deionized water to clean the bracketry, ensuring all contamination is removed completely.

Cyclone Bass architectural specification

• The loudspeaker shall be a passive subwoofer consisting of one high power 12” (304.8 mm), direct radiating, reflex-loaded, low frequency (LF) transducer mounted in a molded fiberglass trapezoidal enclosure.

• The low frequency (LF) transducer shall be constructed on a cast aluminum frame with a treated paper cone and a 101.6 mm (4”) voice coil, wound with copper wire on a high-quality voice coil former, for high power handling and long-term reliability.
