ARCHITETTURA SONORA ICARUS User manual

ICARUS_STAND-ALONE
Unpacking: to remove Icarus from the shipping box carefully follow these steps
Acoustic connectivity & settings:
the Icarus stand-alone necessarily requires a two channels amplier equip-
ped with DSP on board: one for satellites and the other for the subwoofer. For everything concerning the regulation of the DSP, please
refer to the website www.architetturasonora.com or to your specialized dealer.
Set up:
2.
Remove the upper part of
the foam packing
protecting the module
inside the box, to release it.
3.
Holding the metal frame
firmly gently pull the
Icarus out of the box. As
already mentioned it
requires two people.
after unpacking Icarus proceed
with the orientation of the two satellites.
Using the supplied Allen wrench, unscrew the
joint that connects the satellite to the frame,
orient it in the desired position according to the
acoustic requirements and tighten it again so
that to keep the satellite in the desired position.
Repeat the same operation for both satellites.
Keep the supplied Allen wrench in a safe place
for future use.
4.
Turn the module and
place into position,
ready for set-up and
installation.
1.
Icarus is shipped in a box
secured with packing foam;
due to its size and weight it
must always be handled by
two people.

Cabling:
Quick push-pull connection and disconnection:
Icarus is shipped from the factory with two sets of high performance plug/socket connectors (IP68, IP69K) already attached.
Since the Icarus output cable manages both the satellites and the subwoofer, at a certain point the cable splits and you will therefore nd
two outputs, one for the satellites, and one for the subwoofer.
To make it easier to identify the cables and avoid possible mistakes, the satellite output cable is connected to a male endend connector
(plug), while the sub output cable is connected to a female endend connector (socket).
You will have to connect a plug (male endend) and a socket (female ended) to your cables going to the amplier and connect them to their
respective connector coming out from Icarus.
to keep your speakers beautiful as long as possible, we warmly recommend doing maintenance at
least once a year. When not in use, sound modules should be appropriately covered or stored
away; heavy duty protective covers are available from AS.
Please refer to the General Manual for appropriate instructions and note that any departure from
our recommendations on care and cleaning, or any evidence of misuse or damages from ordinary
wear and tear, will void all warranty claims.

ICARUS ("Stand Alone" version) WITH CROSSOVER ON BOARD
If you have purchased the Icarus version with Crossover on board, follow the original Unpacking and SetUp instructions,
but refer to the following instructions for Connectivity and Cabling
Acoustic connectivity & settings: The Icarus S.A. with Crossover is supplied with a bipolar cable output as it
requires to be driven only by one-channel amplifier with at least 200W (see attached tech specs)
Cabling: The cable output is equipped with IP68 connectors (male and female ending).
Please refer to the following instructions to handle that.
Output cable: all Icarus models are shipped from the factory with a high performance plug/socket connector
(IP68, IP69K) already attached. The plug (male endend) is connected to the bipolar cable of the sound module and
the socket (female ended) will have to be connected to the cable going to the amplifier during final installation.
Disassembled socket (female ended)
Please keep to the following instruction to connect the socket (female ended) to your cable:
-disassemble the socket as in the image above
-connect the positive wire (+) into the hole labelled 1 (take the little pin next to the hole as a reference)
-connect the negative wire (-) into the hole labelled 2
