- Built-in handles, M10 anchor points for suspended installation, stand support, 30° and 45° diffuser monitor profile.
POWER SUPPLY
The speaker has been designed and manufactured to work with 100240Vac 50/60Hz universal mains voltage. The power socket also included a fuse box; faulty fuses shall be replaced only with fuses having the same electrical features and value.
CONNECTEURS
The 3-pole XLR connectors are almost always used for conducting mono balanced signals; the three poles correspond respectively to ground (1), the positive signal (2) and the negative signal (3).
SPEAKON is a connector witch is specially adapted for connecting power
terminals to loudspeakers; when inserted in an appropriate socket it locks so
as to prevent accidental disconnection; moreover, it is equipped with
protection against electrical shocks and guarantees the correct polarisation
The JACKS are typical connectors for the transporting of two separate signals through two channels, left and right, using a single connector and therefore they can be either mono or stereo. Mono jacks (TS) also known as unbalanced jacks, are recognisable from stereo or balanced jacks (TRS) by their composition. The point of the mono jacks is divided into two parts, tip and ground Tip and Slave) to which the two poles are connected; the stereo or balanced Jacks are divided in three parts, as they have a central ring (Ring) which is connected to a second wire, the third (negative) pole.

CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS
DSP
- PRT/LMT: The PRT/LMT LED indicates when the limiter is triggered to prevent thermal overload and the protection status due to an internal malfunction. If this occurs (fixed light and no signal), turn off the speaker and wait at least 5 seconds before turning it back on. If the LED remains on, contact technical support. If the LED flashes accompanied by a music signal, it indicates that the maximum power has been reached. Do not increase the volume beyond this threshold to avoid degrading sound quality and damaging the transducer.
- HP FILTER: The HP FILTER button activates a “high pass” filter with a cut-off frequency of about 100Hz at 18dB oct (to be activated in configuration with the subwoofer). The PRESET function, managed by DSP, allows you to modify the speaker response by adapting the timbre to the specific applications; in addition to equalization, the presents also modify the dynamic processing to guarantee maximum SPL.
- ORIGINAL / LIVE: The ideal preset for most “live” applications
- FLOOR / VOCAL: The speaker is “specialized” for use as a stage monitor and also allows for maximum speech intelligibility.
- CLUB: Preset with accentuated bass and slightly attenuated treble, also suitable for medium/low volume listening.
- DJ: Suitable for disco club installations.
