INSTALLATION & OPERATION GUIDE

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

CONNECTIONS
Parallel Speakon Sockets: Connect the output from the power amplifier or amplified mixer to one of the two sockets; use the other socket to relay the signal to another speaker, taking into account the total impedance.

QUICK SETUP

1. Position the speaker appropriately for the chosen type of installation (Figure 1).

The speaker can be installed on an optional standard tripod stand with a 35 mm diameter pole. The maximum permissible height between the speaker base and the floor is 170 cm. Any other use requires additional fixing (not supplied). The tilt angle can be set between 0° and 7.5°.

Monitor Installation
The speaker cabinet has angled sides and can be placed on the floor as a live monitor.

Installation Suspended From Eyebolts
The speaker can also be suspended using M8 eyebolts. The rear eyebolt can be used to adjust the tilt angle (max 45°).
