adastra BPV Series 100V Outdoor Speakers

BPV-SERIES

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the BC-series indoor speakers. These speakers have been designed to offer high-quality sound for low impedance installations. Please read and follow the instructions in this manual to achieve the best results and avoid damage through misuse.

Installation

The BC-series speakers are each supplied with a wall-mounting bracket which allows 90° lateral adjustment. When fixing to a wall or ceiling, use the bracket to mark out the fixing points and use appropriate fixings for the substrate that the speaker will be attached to, ensuring that the fixing is strong enough to bear the weight.

Once the bracket is fitted, support the speaker in position and attach top and bottom using the supplied screw caps and adjust to the required angle. Further mounting points are available at the rear of the speaker, should it be preferred to use different mounting methods (e.g. 129.130 – 129.124UK)

Note: Do not over-tighten the screw caps as this can cause the threaded inserts to fail.

Connection

BPV-series speakers are connected via a hard-wired cable from the rear of the enclosure. For 100V operation, use double insulated cable rated to the total maximum current, calculated as total max tapped power divided by 100V. With the amplifier switched off, strip the speaker wire ends and connect 100V or “+” to the white (or red) wire and connect Common or “-” to the black wire. Insulate any connecting joints adequately and seal from moisture if connected outdoors. Each model has a 100V transformer with various volume settings or “tappings” available via a rotary switch at the rear (BP6V example shown). When used with a 100V line amplifier, select the required maximum wattage that the speaker should demand from the amplifier. Ensure that the sum of the wattages of all the speakers attached to the amplifier does not exceed the recommended output of the amplifier. When used with a standard (non-100V) amplifier, select the “8Ω” setting and refer to the amplifier manufacturer’s manual to ensure that total speaker impedance (Ω) is not less than recommended for the amplifier. It is imperative that the amplifier does not deliver more power than can be handled by the BCV speaker. Refer to the amplifier manual and specifications below to calculate this. Normally, it is recommended that the amplifier is capable of the RMS power rating of the speaker but cannot ever exceed the Max power rating.

Caution

BPV-series speakers are weatherproof IP54 rated. Avoid immersion or direct water jets to the speaker. Avoid excess heat and exposure to direct sunlight. Take care not to overload speakers. HF drivers are especially prone to damage through overload. For 100V installation, take proper care to insulate any contacts within reach of users. Seal any outdoor speaker connections from moisture ingress.
