Installation Tips

• Speakers should be placed in a position that allows for unobstructed sound projection. In many instances it is beneficial for speakers to elevate on tripod stands to achieve maximum dispersion and reach. Consider TOPP PRO speaker stand or equivalent to raise speakers.
• Using quality cables ensure best possible sound. Consider using TOPP PRO 16 or 14 gauge cables or equivalent.
• For best results match the speakers to a good amplifier that matches the wattage and impedance of your speakers. Proper amplification power results in good quality audio and longer component life. Check out.
• Avoid pointing microphone directly at an amplified speaker otherwise could cause feedback possible damaging speaker components and your hearing

Quick Start

When mounting a speaker onto any stand, always ensure that the stand is on a flat, level sur-face, with the legs fully extended. Be sure to check that the maximum load weight for the stands is greater than the weight of the ARRAY SYSTEMS loudspeaker. Never use a stand with a maximum load weight lower than the speaker. Do not attempt to mout more than one speaker on a stand at one time.

The ARRAY SYSTEMS loudspeakers are heavy. It is recommended that a second person to help place the cabinet on a stand.

When the speaker is placed on a stand, always check the integrity and center of gravity of the system If the speaker can be tipped easily, or the pole is swaying, it is recommended that you lower the height of the stand. Position the stand and route cables so that the performers and the audience cannot tip over or trip on the system.

Connect Manner

1. Insert the 4 PCS of fixed legs of VA-WP into the fixed seat of SUB, It means the assembly and connection of signal cable completed, details as below picture#1.
2. Snap the slot-terminal holder of VA42BM into the upper protruding holder of VA WP, and then push VA42BM into slots along the opposite direction of grill. It means the assembly and connection of signal cable completed. details as below picture #2.
3. Snap the slot-terminal holder of VA42TP into the upper protruding holder of VA42BM, and then push VA42BM into slots along the opposite direction of grill. It means the assembly and connection of signal cable completed . details as below picture #3.
4. Once assembly completed, no extra signal cable needed, based on the needs, user can rotate VA42BM / VA42TP towards left or right within 90 degree limit.

WIRE CONNECTIONS

-.For Active Speaker Cabinets
As to these circumstances, audio connections is mostly intended for the signal flow,so, determine the wire configuration according to your real application system and its connecting facility. Normally, you have the following choices:

• Balanced
  

• Unbalanceed
  

-.For Passive Speaker Cabinets
Please only use the power connectors to make connections with other signal source equipment for the passive speaker cabinets. The power connector has four terminals:1+, 1-, 2+, 2-.

In our cabinets. only 1 +/1- are used to connect the Speaker+/Speaker-, and 2+R- are not used.

CONNECTION PLATE SYSTEM

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

1. Connect one side of the signal cable at your audio mixer into output left / right (with Stereo-Jack or XLR) and the other side of the cable into the line input (Stereo-Jack) of your active speaker cabinet.
2. Connect the power cord to mains.
3. Turn on your mixer first, then the active speaker cabinets.
4. Turn up the volume control of the active speaker cabinets.
5. Use PFL function to get the proper input level for the mixer, and adjust the Main Mix Level control to manipulate the output level.
6. After using, turn off your stereo power amplifier first, then the mixer.
   

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

Two Active Subwoofers & Two Passive Satellite Speakers

1. Connect one side of the signal cable to the output of your mixer (left / right) with a TRS or XLR connector and the other side of the cable to the line input (combo) in the active subwoofer (with a TRS to XLR connector). Then connect the speakon cable from the output of power in the Subwoofer to the satellites input.
2. Complete other connections as illustrated.
3. Turn on your mixer first, then the stereo power amplifier.
4. Turn up the volume controls of your amplifier to about70%.
5. Use PFL function to get the proper input level for the mixer, and adjust the Mian Mix Level control to manipulate the output level.
6. After using, turn off your stereo power amplifier first, then the mixer.
