Introduction
Column speakers
The LINO series are column speaker series designed for a wide variation of general-
purpose applications in acoustic difficult environments, ranging from speech and
announcement applications to background music systems. Typical applications are
houses of worship, auditoria, presentation rooms, public transportation hubs, … and
many more. They are solid constructed using solid aluminum materials and finished
through a rigid finely perforated front grill.
They come in two different models (LINO4 and LINO10) in terms of length and driver
count, consisting of 2” low/mid-frequency drivers with a 1” central positioned tweeter
for the high frequencies. Both models are having a specific pattern in terms of disper-
sion and throw distance. They offer solutions for uniform acoustic performance in any
type of system in reverberant venues, while reducing echo and microphone feedback to
optimizes the intelligibility of music & speech.
Mounting is done through an L-shaped bracket on top and bottom, offering optimal
flexibility for fixation and directional placement. Connections are made through multi-
tapping terminal block connector and A multi-tapping line transformer allows them to
be connected to 70/100V public address systems with various power tapping settings,
while connections in low impedance systems are also possible.

CAUTION
• USE CABLES OF THE RIGHT GAUGE TO CONNECT THE LOUDSPEAKER
• USE CABLES WITH CLEAR COLOR CODING INDICATING THE POLARITY AND
MAINTAIN THE SAME POLARITY THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SYSTEM.
• ONLY USE THE CORRECT AMPLIFIER OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND IMPEDANCE.
EXCEEDING THESE LIMITS COULD CAUSE FIRE OR OTHER FAILURES.
AVOID EXPLOSIONS: DO NOT USE THE SPEAKER AROUND GASOLINE,
THINNER OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLES
• AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCKS: SWITCH OFF THE AMPLIFIER WHEN CONNECTING
THE LOUDSPEAKER
• DO NOT USE THE LOUDSPEAKER FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AT
DISTORTED SOUND. THIS COULD CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.

Installing the LINO
Mounting bracket
Every LINO speaker comes delivered with two L-shaped brackets making it possible
to install the speaker at each location and focussing it into the desired direction. The
metal constructed L-brackets ensures a solid and secure mounting of the loudspeaker
to any possible surface or location.
The L-shaped brackets have to be fixed to the wall through
2 screws. The used fasteners are depending on the mounting
surface (brick, concrete, wood, ...) and should be chosen
accordingly.
Once the wall brackets are mounted to the installation position,
the speaker should get fixed to the brackets. This is done through
inserting both supplied bolts and tightening them. The slot shaped
holes allow vertical directional adjustments while horizontal
adjustments are possible through rotation.

Connecting the speaker
For connecting the LINO, the wires coming from the amplifier shall be connected to
the 6-pin terminal block connector on the rear of the speaker. Depending whether
the speaker will be used in a low impedance system or a constant voltage (70/100V)
system, the appropriate terminals of the connector should get connected as indicated
in the below drawing.

When using in constant voltage 70/100V systems, the power taps can be adjusted in 4
steps of impedance through connecting the appropriate terminals of the 6-pin terminal
block connector. Each position corresponds with a specific impedance / power setting
indicated on a label attached to the speaker, and in the table below.
