- Do not allow any type of liquid or solid object to enter the unit; should this occur, stop using the unit and contact an authorized assistance center as soon as possible.
- The unit must ONLY be connected to the amplified output of an amplifier, a powered mixer, or another unit with this type of output (e.g. a self-powered loudspeaker enclosure with an amplified auxiliary output). A suitable power cable in compliance with current safety norms must be used to connect the unit.
- The amplifier connected to the unit must only be switched on after having connected and switched on all the other components of the sound reinforcement/recording system, to avoid annoying noises that can sometimes damage the loudspeakers.
- The unit must only be moved when the cables are disconnected.
- Only dedicated accessories, specifically designed for the system, or any standard accessories foreseen may be used when installing.
- The mechanical operation of the product and the accessories used must be checked periodically.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
VEGAS 4 is a miniature, externally powered loudspeaker ideal for high-quality
distributed sound systems and short-throw applications.
The loudspeaker features a single 4”-inch ferrite magnet woofer mounted in a
sealed box, providing a full range frequency response from a single diaphragm
which delivers the best phase coherence, optimal vocal presence,
intelligibility and clarity.
Only high-quality Italian-made components are used in this low distortion
loudspeaker.
The cabinet is coated with a high-tech black textured polyurea scratch-free
finish and the grill has an epoxy powder coating. Custom RAL color repainting
options are available for installations with specific cosmetic requirements.
The ultra-compact, high tensile strength, lightweight enclosure is equipped
with two NL4 speakON connectors, with selectable input pins via a switch on
the rear panel, and a 4-pin Euroblock connector. Both connectors offer
production quality pass-thru for multiple loudspeakers in parallel.
AMPLIFIER CONNECTION
Vegas 4 is using one driver. The unit requires just one amplification channel. The connections are available on:
-
two NL4 connectors, with a switch to select which speakON poles to use (1+/1- or 2+/2-) in order to simplify the connection between various elements through the same cable.
For example, multiple loudspeakers can be wired on a 4-pole cable and then divide the load into two amplification channels just by acting on the switch; -
a 4-pin Euroblock socket, that is independent of the switch and therefore always works with the same poles.
Both connectors are in parallel to facilitate wiring on portable and installed systems. The system shall be used with the suggested Outlineamplifier and presets DSP.
RIGGING INSTRUCTIONS
This system offers two M6 threaded inserts, one on each side, which allow to properly use rigging bracket to hang the speaker.
Always place the washers between the cabinet and the bracket, as shown in the
figure.
There is another M4 threaded insert on the center of the rear panel to use
weatherproof cable protection or safety cable attachments. Please note that
for this insert screws longer than 25 mm cannot be used and it must always be
covered, when it is not used, to protect the loudspeaker from dust or anything
else.
The bracket has rails in correspondence with two inserts to perfectly fit the cabinet in any case and an M10 threaded insert for stand mounting.
ACCESSORIES
A weatherproof cable protection plate (WPCON-04
– optional) is available to ensure the normal operation also in extreme
conditions (IP55).
Attach the neoprene gasket following the outline of the cap.
Beware to start and finish on the bottom edge.
Pass the wires through the cable glands before installing the accessory, then fix the plate and secure the screw (no longer than 25 mm) into the threaded insert in the center of the rear panel as shown in the picture.
