The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
WARNING (If applicable) : The terminals marked with the symbol “ ****” may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. The external wiring connected to the terminals requires installation by an instructed person or the use of ready-made leads or cords.

For this reason, it always shall remain easily accessible.
Equipment is connected to a socket-outlet with earthing connection by means of a power cord.
The marking information is located at the bottom of the unit.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

INTRODUCTION

DROP6 is a 6.5″ 75W @ 8Ω 2-way pendant loudspeaker with a sleek design, featuring a 70/100V line transformer with 60/30/15 and 7.5W power selections, available in high and low impedance levels.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

Two-way full-range pendant loudspeaker
75 W RMS @ 8 Ω
6.5″ woofer / 1″ tweeter.
Compatible for use in high impedance (70V or 100V line) and low impedance (8Ω)
Power selector: 4 options of 60W/30W/15W/7.5W in high impedance or one 75W option in low impedance
ABS reinforced with fiberglass
Paintable grille and speaker (white)
INPUT/LINK double connector, Euroblock type
Cable length: 5m (includes 2 height adjustable steel cords)
Available in white (RAL9003) and black (RAL9005)

CONNECTIONS

The DROP6 connection is of the Euroblock type, to be connected directly to the wiring line coming from the power amplifier. The power selector located on the top of the loudspeaker allows you to select the mode and power of the unit by means of a switch:

75 WRMS @ 8Ω
60/30/15 and 7.5W @ 70/100V

The DROP6 loudspeaker is delivered from the factory with the switch in the 60W position (70/100V). If accidentally connected to a low impedance amplifier (8), it will not cause any damage to the loudspeaker, but it will underperform.
WARNING: If the loudspeaker is accidentally connected to a 70/100V mains grid in position 8Ω, the amplifier and loudspeaker will be seriously damaged.

LOCATION AND MOUNTING

Each DROP6 unit contains 2 steel cords for suspension of the 5-meter unit, plus 2 Euroblock connections.
WARNING: Make sure that both the ceiling and the mounting system are sturdy enough to support the weight of the loudspeaker.
To install each unit, the following instructions must be followed:

Insert the steel cords and fasten them to the bracket and to the desired height.
Remove the top of the speaker enclosure to expose the connection panel.
Feed the included steel cords and wiring line from the amplifier through the conical rear cover.
Hook the steel cable to the metal part of the speaker.
Hook the second steel cord in the same way and pass the line cable through the hole to reach the Euroblock connectors. Select the power you want the speaker to operate at.
Position the conical back cover and rotate it until the locking marks match up
