Installation Manual

IS-TWM IS-FWMIS-JP2

IS Series + SP 12.1P Operating Manual

1. Heed all warnings; follow all instructions.

2. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.

Servicing is required when the apparatus has

been damaged in any way.

Installation and Mounting

3. To prevent inductive effects from causing

hum and/or noise, loudspeaker lines should

not be laid together with other electric

cables, microphone or line level signal

cables connected to amplifier inputs.

4. To ensure proper sound reproduction,

correct loudspeaker polarity is necessary.

Check “+” and “−” polarity at both the

amplifiers and the IS Series speakers.

5. Make sure loudspeaker lines are not shorted

before turning the amplifier on.

6. The entire audio system must comply with

the current local standards and regulations

regarding electrical systems.

7. Ashly recommends this product only

be permanently installed by licensed,

professional installers (or specialized firms)

who can ensure a correct installation and

certified by a local inspector.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such

as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other apparatus (including amplifiers) that

produce heat.

9. Use only with mounts or brackets specified

by Ashly Audio.

10. Check the suitability of the support surface

to which the product is anchored (wall,

ceiling, structure, etc.) and the attachment

components (wall plugs, screws, brackets

etc.) to confirm that they are in compliance

with requirements set forth by local building,

safety and electrical codes.

11. Make sure all connections have been made

correctly and the loudspeaker input voltage

is suitable for the amplifier output.

12. Protect loudspeaker lines from damage.

Make sure they are positioned in a way that

they cannot be stepped on or crushed by

objects.

13. Make sure that no objects or liquids can get

into this product, as this may cause a short

circuit.

14. Place the SP 12.1P subwoofer on a flat, rigid

and anti-skid surface.

Pole, Tripod Mount, Joining Plate

15. Please use Ashly IS-TR7B tripod mount for

IS 2.8P and IS 3.8P speakers. If mounting

the speakers on top of the SP12.1P

subwoofer, use only IS-PM6B adjustable

speaker poles.

16. When pole or tripod mounting IS column

speakers, make certain units are placed in a

safe and secure area which is free from foot

traffic or other activities which could cause

accidental tripping or stand collapse.

17. Open the mount’s three “legs” as wide as

possible to ensure its stability.

18. Tighten the height-adjustment bolt firmly.

19. Insert the safety pins on both the fixed and

extendable parts of the tripod or pole.

20. Make sure the the Ashly IS-JP2 accessory

joining plate used to connect to IS speakers

is securely attached.

21. When using two IS speakers joined by an IS-

JP2 vertical mounting plate, pay particular

attention to tripod placement. Confirm

that the tripod mounts’ three legs are fully

extended. Remember that the center

of gravity is higher than with a single IS

speaker.

Safety and Operation Precautions.

Operation

22. IS column line arrays can deliver high sound

pressure that can surpass 90 dB. Exposure

to high sound levels can cause permanent

hearing loss. Monitor and control the volume

at all times.

23. If amplifiers or other connected equipped

displays “clipping”, “peak”, or other overload

conditions, adjust to assure these are

operating below that threshold to prevent a

distorted signal, which may cause damage

to the speakers.

24. To avoid clipping, always use a clip limiter

if available. Always observe specified high

pass filtering recommendations; failure to

do so may result in damage to drivers.

25. Contact your authorized service center

or qualified personnel should any of the

following occur:

■The loudspeaker does not function

normally

■The cable has been damaged

■Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit

■The loudspeaker has been damaged due to

heavy impacts

26. Clean only with a dry cloth. Do not use

solvents, alcohol, benzene, or other volatile

substances for cleaning the external parts of

this product.

2 7. Don’t unplug signal cables when the amp

connected to your IS Series speakers is still

on.

28. Don’t remove the metal grille of the speaker,

which can cause damage to the speaker

cones.

29. Depending on the impedance switch setting

on the back of the IS speakers (8/32 ohms),

make sure to limit the number of connected

speakers to match the amplifier’s minimum

safe operating impedance. Please refer to

the Ashly amplifiers operations manual for

the correct settings and speaker count.

Thank you for choosing Ashly IS Series line

array column speakers (and hopefully our

matching subwoofer). We know that there are

many choices on the market today; so we have

worked hard to create column speakers that set

themselves apart from the rest.

Elevate or wall-mount a pair of IS 3.8P or IS

2.8P speakers on stands, add one or more

SP 12.1P subwoofers and you have a high-

fidelity, high-output system that’s perfect for

reception halls, small churches, mobile discos,

bars, coffee shops, and many other applications.

Before installation, check for any possible

shipping damage. Also, please read all of the

Safety and Operation Precautions on the

previous page.

Note that this Guide also covers IS-TWM Tilt

Wall Mount Bracket, IS-JP Joining Bracket, and

IS-FWM Flush Wall Mount Bracket.

Back Panel Connections

IS Series columns are designed for both

permanent and mobile applications. Both

models have Neutrik® connections. The IS

3.8P adds Neutric SpeakOn connectors; the IS

2.8P has ¼-inch TS jacks.

*WARNING: When connecting the IS speaker,

do not under any circumstances plug outputs

from different amplifiers or amp channels into

more than one jack (any type on the speaker) at

the same time.

System configurations with

Dual-impedance IS Series

IS Series’ Hi-Z / Lo-Z design allows more

connection options than typical single-

impedance column speakers.

In 8 Ω mode, IS columns are ideal

for typical low-Z and live performance

applications.

However, switching IS columns to 32 Ω lets

one Ashly 4-channel amplifier drive up to 32

individual IS 2.8P or IS 3.8P speakers!

The example below shows 32 IS columns

driven with 62.5 watts each via a 4 x 500-

watt amplifier.

impedance) / total number of columns

For example, 500 W @ 4 Ω = 62.5 W per column.

impedance) / total number of columns.

Impedance =

32 / total number of columns

For example, for 8 IS speakers: 32 / 8 = 4 ohms.

Required amplifier power =

total number of cabinets x desired

If you need 60W per IS Series speaker,

then 60 x 8 = 480 W
