IMPORTANT REMARK

ecler ARQIS Series Cabinet Loudspeaker --Cabinet
Loudspeaker The lightning flash with 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.

ecler ARQIS Series Cabinet Loudspeaker --Cabinet Log 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: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture.
WARNING: An apparatus with Class I construction shall be connected to a mains socket-outlet with a protective earthing connection.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these instructions.
Keep these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.
Do not use this apparatus near water.
Clean only with dry cloth.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does notfit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at the plugs, convenience receptacles, and at the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Unplug the apparatus during lightning sorts or when unused for long periods of time.
Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as 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.
Disconnecting from mains: Switching off the POWER switch all the functions and light indicators of the amplifier will be stopped, but fully disconnecting the device from mains is done by unplugging the power cord from the mains input socket. For this reason, it always shall remain readily operable.
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 apparatus.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on apparatus.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

WARNING: This product must not be discarded, under any circumstance, as unsorted urban waste. Take to the nearest electrical
and electronic waste treatment centre.

NEEC AUDIO BARCELONA, S.L. accepts no liability for any damage that may be caused to people, animal or objects due to failure to comply with the warnings above.

INTRODUCTION

Based on studying installers and interior design and system integration professionals as well as on a permanent contact with them, the ARQIS line of
speakers is designed for fixed installation, especially in environments in need of a compact speaker offering high output, easy installation, long-term reliability and excellent sound quality.

CONNECTIONS

The connection cables which connect the amplifier’s output and the speaker should be of good quality, have sufficient conductor area and be as short as possible. The latter fact is especially important when the distance is long and the load impedance low (4-8 W). A cross-section of at least 2.5mm2 is recommended for distances up to 10m; 4 or 6mm2 for longer distances. Following formula gives the required section, assuming 4% losses:
Cross-section in mm^2=(Length in m)/(Loudspeaker impedance in Ω)

Always respect the polarity. All models have a Euroblock connector, and a second connector (Euroblock or Speakon®, depending on model), thereby facilitating the parallel connection of speakers.

RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER

Following table shows the output power of the amplifier adequate to each acoustic system:

ARQIS 105: between 70 and 150W RMS
ARQIS 106: between 120 and 250W RMS
ARQIS 108: between 150 and 300W RMS
ARQIS 205: between 150 and 300W RMS
ARQIS 208: between 300 and 600W RMS
ARQIS 110: between 220 and 450W RMS
ARQIS 112: between 340 and 700W RMS
ARQIS SB6T: between 120 and 250W RMS
ARQIS SB10: between 150 and 300W RMS
ARQIS SB15: between 600 and 1000W RMS

POSITIONING

Consider following general rules:
Place the speakers on a solid and firm surface. Subwoofers placed directly and horizontally on the ground have a higher output than hanged or directly on the floor, but vertically. No obstacles should stand between the enclosures and the audience. The high frequencies are very directive compared to the low frequencies so that any obstacle will impair their response. In case large audiences must be addressed, a better long-distance sound propagation will be achieved if the enclosures are flown high enough.

INSTALLATION

In the ARQIS series, the best way to install the enclosure was studied for each model. Each model from the ARQIS range is supplied with the optimal installation system. ARQIS205 / ARQIS208 / ARQIS110 / ARQIS 112 / ARQISSB10 / ARQISSB15 also have built-in M8 rigging points for suspension from a compatible structure or “truss” using steel cables.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The equipment must in no case be suspended using its carrying handles (if any); use the appropriate accessories for each application. Whenever a ceiling/wall mounting bracket is used, it is mandatory to add a redundant safety system. Use wire ropes, slings or chains of the appropriate diameter to prevent the fall of the speaker in case the main mounting system is pulled out.
