4. Read all the related PRODUCT INFORMATION documents before exploiting the system
The product information document is included in the shipping carton of the related system component.
5. Read the RIGGING MANUAL before installing the system
Use the rigging accessories described in therigging manual and follow the associated procedures
6. Beware of sound levels
Do not stay within close proximityof loudspeakers in operation and consider wearing earplugs.
Loudspeaker systems are capable of producing very highsound pressure levels (SPL) which can instantaneously
lead to permanent hearing damage to performers, production crew and audience members.Hearing damage can
also occur with prolonged exposure tosound: 8 h at 90 dB(A), 30 min at 110 dB(A), less than 4 min at 130 dB(A).

1. INTRODUCTION
2. KEYFEATURES
3. APPLICATIONS
The ApiaProAudioCimiline Series are weatherproof passivespeaker systems, comprised of 2” neodymium magnet
housed in an elegant aluminum casing painted with the robust electrostatic powder painting system
which are available in custom RAL colors.
Cimiline 8 features 8 drivers in a 0.5 m (19.7”), while the Cimiline 16features 16 drivers in a 1 m (39.4”) chassis.
The Apia Cimiline Seriesclosely spaced cone drivers provide phase coherence, low distortion and focused listening
both up close and at a distance.
To accommodate a range of applications, the vertical dispersion pattern can be switched for either
or spot coverage.
Optional rigging and linking accessories allow multiple speakers to be interconnected, creating a wide
array of vertical and horizontal con gurations for temporary or permanent installation.
For integration with other speakers or ampli ers, the Cimiline 8 and Cimiline 16 o er selectable impedance
(16Ω /64 Ω for the Cimiline 8and 8Ω /32 Ω for the Cimiline 16).
Integrating powered C-SUB and subwoofers ensures excellent coverage of the
entire musical frequency range. QDX-13ampli er series also features custom presets, optimized for
use with the Cimilineseries.
custom-made quality control systems for dear customers.

5. WIRING OPTION
Cimiline 8 and Ciwiline 16 internal wiring is designed to pick up audio power signal from pins 1+ / 1- of a Speakon
NL4 connector. Pins 1+ and 1-, such as pins 2+ and 2-, are directly wired from one socket to the other,
so the two sockets are equivalent and can be used to connect the speaker to the ampli er or to connect
the speaker to another one driven in parallel by the same ampli er channel.
5.1 IMPEDANCE SW ITC H
Cimiline 8 and Cimiline 16 features a switch which allows users to select the impedance of the speaker (Cimiline 8:
16/64 Ω ,Cimiline 16: 8/32 Ω).
The value to be selected depends mainly on the ampli er you use to drive the unit. Impedance must
be set to high (64 Ω for Cimiline 8 and 32Ω for Cimiline 16) when speakers are driven by C-SUB and C-INFRA active
subwoofers or by the QDX-13 ampli er. Low impedance may be used when speakers are driven.

Cimiline 8 and Cimiline 16 features a switch which allows users to select the vertical coverage of the speaker.
Flood coverage sets a wide vertical di usion. Flood coverage is suggested for single speakers in di used
short throw applications to obtain maximum di usion with a minimum footprint.
Spot coverage sets a narrower vertical di usion angle and is recommended for long throw or monitoring
application.
When more units are combined in a line array con guration, make sure to set the coverage to Spot.
