PRECAUTIONS
Important Notice
- The flashing light with an arrowhead symbol inside an equilateral triangle on it is intended to alert the user of the presence of non-insulated “dangerous voltage” within the enclosure, which might be of sufficient magnitude to pose a risk of electric shock to users.
- The exclamation mark within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the requirement for important operating and maintenance (servicing), for which instructions may be found in the literature accompanying the appliance.
WARNING (If applicable):
- Terminals marked with a symbol may be of sufficient magnitude to pose a risk of electric shock. The external wiring connected to terminals requires installation by a technician, or the use of ready-made leads or cords.
- To prevent fire or shock hazards, do not expose this equipment to rain or humidity.
- A device with Class I manufacturing ought to be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
- Ecler products have a long lifetime of more than 10 years. This product must never be discarded as unsorted urban waste, but must be taken to the nearest electrical and electronic waste treatment centre.

- Unplug the device during lightening sorts or when unused for long periods of time.
- Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the device has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug damage, liquid spillage or objects onto the device, the device has been exposed to rain or humidity, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
- Disconnecting from mains: When switching off the POWER switch, all the functions and light indicators of the unit will be stopped, but fully disconnecting the device from mains is done by unplugging the power cable from the mains input socket, therefore, it should always remain easily accessible
- Equipment is connected to a socket-outlet with an earthing connection by means of a power cord.
- The marking information is located at the bottom of the unit.
- The device shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing liquids, and no liquid-filled objects, such as a filled up glass, shall be placed on top of the device.
Cleaning Directions

CONNECTIONS
The connection cables which connect the amplifiers 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 (8 Ω). 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 mm2 = Length in m/Loudspeaker impedance in Ω
Always respect the polarity. The loudspeaker has an INPUT Euroblock connector, and a second STACK Euroblock connector thereby facilitating the parallel connection of the speaker. See detailed connections diagram on next page.

RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER
The output power of the recommended amplifier for NIMBO-14 is 80W RMS.
POSITIONING & INSTALLATION
Positioning
Consider following general rules. Place the speaker on a solid and firm
surface. 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.
