Watch for these symbols:
The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure, that may be of sucient magnitude to constute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamaon point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operang and
maintenance (servicing) instrucons in the literature accompanying the appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read these instrucons.
2. Keep these instrucons.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instrucons.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any venlaon openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instrucons.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including ampliers) that
produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than
the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided
for your safety. If the provided plug does not t into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, parcularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use aachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specied by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart
is used, use cauon when moving the cart/apparatus combinaon to avoid injury from p-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of me.
14. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such
as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. Warning: to reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
16. Do not expose this equipment to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects lled with liquids, such as vases, are placed
on the equipment.
17. To completely disconnect this apparatus from the ac mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the ac receptacle.
18. The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable.
19. This apparatus contains potenally lethal voltages. To prevent electric shock or hazard, do not remove the chassis, input
module or ac input covers. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualied service personnel.
20. The loudspeakers covered by this manual are not intended for high moisture outdoor environments. Moisture can damage
the speaker cone and surround and cause corrosion of electrical contacts and metal parts. Avoid exposing the speakers to
direct moisture.
21. Keep loudspeakers out of extended or intense direct sunlight. The driver suspension will prematurely dry out and nished
surfaces may be degraded by long-term exposure to intense ultra-violet (UV) light.
22. The loudspeakers can generate considerable energy. When placed on a slippery surface such as polished wood or linoleum,
the speaker may move due to its acouscal energy output.
23. Precauons should be taken to assure that the speaker does not fall o a stage or table on which it is placed.
24. The loudspeakers are easily capable of generang sound pressure levels (SPL) sucient to cause permanent hearing damage
to performers, producon crew and audience members. Cauon should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to SPL in excess
of 90 dB.
This marking shown on the product or its literature, indicates that it should not be disposed with other household wastes at the end
of its working life. To prevent possible harm to the environment or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal, please separate
this from other types of wastes and recycle it responsibly to promote the sustainable reuse of material resources. Household users

INTRODUCTION
ED point source systems are designed for indoor and outdoor sound reinforcement applicaons ranging from clubs, bars and
restaurants to theatres, live music venues, houses of worship and theme environments. Passive ED series loudspeaker systems are
easy to set up and simple to operate.
The ED150P consists of an 15” LF drive unit and a 1.4” HF compression driver loaded by
an asymmetric HF horn in a compact enclosure, designed for many mul-purpose sound
reinforcement acvies. The asymmetric HF coverage paern, varying from 100° horizontal
in the lower part of the horn for more eecve near eld coverage, and narrowing to 60°
horizontal at the top of the horn for more focused coverage in the far eld. The result is more
accurate coverage of a typical auditorium than is possible with a xed horizontal coverage
device. The HF horn is also rotatable through 90° by simply removing four screws and realigning
the horn, so that coverage can also be opmised for stage monitor use. This rotatable horn
feature also makes it possible to maintain the ideal coverage paern when the cabinet is
installed in a horizontal (landscape) orientaon. Its asymmetric dispersion paern provides
opmal coverage of typical rectangular venues, with wider dispersion at the front and narrower
dispersion at the rear.
This versale loudspeaker can also be used as a low prole stage monitor with its 35° tapered
side, and in this situaon the HF horn can be rotated to maintain the best coverage paern for
performers both near to and further away from the monitor. ED150P cabinet is an unobtrusive
and compact format designed for a multude of near eld applicaons such as theatre under-
balcony ll, stage front ll, delay speaker, bar and restaurant audio, and discreet stage monitor.
A pole mount socket make this a very versale loudspeaker in both portable and permanently
installed applicaons.

INPUT
Power input for the external amplier. The ED150P includes a passive crossover for ltering the signal,
it includes also an internal protecon that limit for excessive power on the HF secon and if the signal
persists for a long me period it excludes the HF secon. The connecons are the following:

2+ none (pass thru)
2- none (pass thru)
LINK
Power output in parallel with the INPUT socket for connecng the unit to another speaker.
The number of ED150P cabinets that can be connected in parallel depends on the amplier load
capacity.

KPTED150B WALL or TRUSS MOUNTING
Using the “C” shape bracket the ED150P loudspeaker can be installed to walls or mounted to trusses in combinaon combining
with two PLH300.
It allows to aim the speaker in one direcon (vercal or horizontal) in 21 steps (0°, ±5°, ±10°, ±15°, ±25°, ±30°, ±40°, ±45°, ±55°,
±70°, ±85°).
For installing the speaker using the “C” bracket follow these instrucons:
1) Install the “C” bracket to the the wall or to the truss.
2) Mount the two rotaon brackets on the top and boom of the loudspeker using the bolts (a).
3) Carefully put the loudspeaker into the “C” bracket then screw in the screws (b) to x it to the “C” bracket.
4) Aim the loudspeaker and ghten the screw-knobs (c) in the desired holes.
5) Tight the screws (b).
