The MIC setting is for the Input 1 input sensitivity control. After selecting the MIC input, the MIC light on the panel will turn on.
The Hl-Z setting is for the input 2 input sensitivity control. After selecting the Hl-Z input, the Hl-Z light on the panel will turn on.
The Delay menu is for creating time calibrations with other speakers. The options available range between 0 and 69.19 feet. The delay can be changed in increments of 0.69 feet. The default setting is 0 feet.
Phase setting preset for the entire loudspeaker system.
The Factory Presets menu is for configuring the type of sound the speaker sends. The options are: LIVE, MUSIC, SPEECH, and MONITOR. You can use the MASTER VOL menu button to configure the presets for different situations.

• LIVE – for live sound applications (default).
• MUSIC – for recording music and playing dance music.
• SPEECH – for voice-only applications.
• MONITOR – for ground monitoring.

The Sub Setting menu is for selecting the high-pass frequency or matching subwoofer when one is used in the speaker setup. The options available for this selection are: No Sub, 80 Hz (80 Hz), 100 Hz (100 Hz), 120 Hz (120 Hz), 150 Hz (150 Hz), and the Qualcomm is a 24 dB/octave Linkwitz/Riley crossover. The 80 Hz (100 Hz), 100 Hz (100 Hz), 120 Hz (120 Hz), and 150 Hz (150 Hz) options are general high-pass settings for use with other subwoofers. The settings are optimized for the woofer (including delays for optimal overlay).
The default is No Sub.

EQ menu

The EQ menu is a 4-band EQ (equalizer) that you can fine tune in addition to FUNCTION and LOCATION. The options available are: HI, MD, LM, and LO.

Back

LO| 101.5| FLAT is to restore all adjusted EQs to factory settings.

NOTE
The indoor equalizer (EQ) range shown is the factory default range for individual speakers. When the woofer is selected, any EQ below the crossover point is bypassed.
To use EQ above the crossover point, do the following.

Rotate the MASTER VOL knob to reach the desired frequency.

Installation and connections

Important notes on installation
The sound produced by the speaker is subtly influenced by the conditions of the room you use it in. Carefully consider the installation location before setting up the speaker to ensure the best possible conditions. AlphaTheta Corporation will not be liable for any damages arising from use of the speaker (including but not limited to loss of business opportunities), regardless of the installation method used.
Be sure to use the handles on the top or the sides of the speaker when moving and installing it.

CAUTION

• To help proper cooling, please make sure enough space is kept between each speaker and nearby walls or other components (minimum 30 cm or more above, behind, and to the sides of each speaker). Leaving insufficient space may cause the temperature inside the speaker to rise, leading to malfunction or permanent damage.
• Use of this product while it is stacked is prohibited.

Installation using a speaker pole
XPRS82/XPRS102/XPRS122/XPRS152
The full-range models of the XPRS2 Series have a 35-mm-diameter pole socket on the bottom surface.
The subwoofer model of the XPRS2 Series have an M20 screw-in pole socket on the top surface in which the pole can be secured firmly.
The combinations shown in the following diagrams are recommended for the XPRS2 Series. Using a different combination may result in the speakers toppling over and possibly causing damage or injury. To use a speaker pole, check the cautions below and perform the installation safely.

CAUTION

• At least two people should lift each speaker together to install it. Be sure to give enough consideration to safety when performing the work.
• Use a 35-mm-diameter, one-side M20 screw-in speaker pole. Use a commercially-available product with a length of 900 mm or less. AlphaTheta Corporation will not be liable for any damages (including but not limited to loss of business opportunities) arising from the use of a speaker pole other than the type specified.
• Install the subwoofer in a stable, horizontal location and secure the speaker pole firmly.
• Ensure there is no danger of speakers toppling over.
• Cables should be taped or tied together with suitable tape or cable ties to avoid the danger of tripping on the cables and causing the speakers to topple over.

Installation using the rigging points on the speaker

• The full-range models have suspension-mounting rigging points on them. The speaker can be suspended using commercially-available eye bolts. The rigging point has an M10 screw hole (for an eye bolt with a thread length of 30 mm – 50 mm).
• When installing the speaker suspended, ask a qualified technician to perform the work.
• Remove the screws from the rigging points on the speaker and attach eye bolts. Do not use the speaker while the screws are removed. The sound will be adversely affected by air leakage.
• Be sure to use at least three rigging points to suspend the speaker. Furthermore, be sure to also implement an extra safety measure such as using a wire.
• Use brackets, wires, and a wall or ceiling strong enough to bear the weight of the speaker. Ask for commercially-available brackets at the shop where you purchased the speaker.
• Be sure to confirm the safety after installing the speaker and periodically thereafter.

Connections

For active full-range speaker system
CAUTION
Make your initial connections with all the equipment powered off and ensure all the main volume controls are turned down completely.

1. Connect one end of a signal cable to the Output Left/Right on your mixer (with a stereo jack or XLR connector) and connect the other end of the cable to the Line Input (COMBO) on your active speaker (with a stereo jack or XLR connector).
2. Connect the power cord to a mains supply.
3. Turn on your mixer first, then the active speakers.
4. Turn up the volume control of the speakers.
5. Use the PFL function on the mixer to get the proper input level, and adjust the Main Mix Level control to reach the desired output level.
6. When finished, turn off your active speakers first, then the mixer.

Active subwoofer and active satellite speaker

CAUTION
Make your initial connections with all the equipment powered off and ensure all the main volume controls are turned down completely.

1. Connect one end of a signal cable to the Output Left/Right on your mixer and connect the other end of the cable to the Line Input on the corresponding (left or right) active subwoofer.
2. Connect one end of another signal cable into the Link Left/Right or Out Left/Right of the active subwoofer, and connect the other end to the Line Input Left/Right of the active satellite speaker.
3. Connect the power cord to a mains supply.
4. Turn on your mixer first, then the active speakers.
5. Turn up the volume control of the active speakers.
6. Use the PFL function on the mixer to get the proper input level, and adjust the Main Mix Level control to reach the desired output level.
