INTRODUCTION
The SW36XFAV2 subwoofer is designed to deliver high quality low frequency reproducon where very high output is a key
requirement, together with well dened deep bass response and fast transient response. Its compact size and light weight make it
suitable for several dierent uses, ranging from touring applicaons to xed installaons and high-level dance clubs.
The SW36XFAV2 is a very high quality powered subwoofer system featuring some of the most advanced technologies for low
frequency reproducon. Its unique and innovave design is based on a conguraon that can be dened as Manifolded Band Pass.
It uses manifolding of the front side of the cones to maximize the mutual coupling between the two drivers. This innovave
conguraon does not use any large resonant cavity to load the speaker, but very compact cavies in order to obtain advantages
in terms of denion, both at the lowest end and the upper bass.
The SW36XFAV2 subwoofer system is equipped with two high power 18” (460mm) transducers capable of very long excursion (up to
30mm peak-to-peak), and featuring a a large displacement suspension system. These transducers use Tetracoil technology, where
two dierent, axially separated magnec gaps and two inside-outside 100mm (4” ) diameter voice coils are wound on the same
former and suspended evenly in the two magnec gaps. This creates an equivalent voice coil diameter greater than 6”, resulng
in a larger heat dissipaon area for and increased power handling. Addional key advantages of the Tetracoil technology are also
minimized distoron and a very symmetric and at inductance curve. Cones are made of very high-sness berglass reinforced
paper, featuring also invisible water repellent treatment. The SW36XFAV2 is processed by 40bit oang point CORE2 DSP and is
powered by a high eciency CLASS D amplier module with a newly designed power supply equipped with PFC, which reduces the
power consumpon while enhancing reliability and consistency in all operang condions. The innovave technology used for these
ampliers oers performance at the top of the range, such as superior sound denion at any audio frequency, very high dynamics
for low level signals, and very low distoron even at maximum power.

PRESET BUTTON
This buon has two funcon:
1) Pressing it while powering on the unit:
ID ASSIGN The internal DSP assigns a new ID to the unit for the PRONET AX remote control operaon. Each loudspeaker
must have a unique ID to be visible in the PRONET AX network. When you assign a new ID, all the other
loudspeakers with the ID already assigned must be ON and connected to the network.
2) Pressing it with the unit ON you can select the DSP PRESET. The selected PRESET is indicated by the corresponding LED:
STANDARD This PRESET is suitable for any applicaon where low frequency reinforcement is required. The response starts
at 45Hz and the cuto is at 100Hz with LR 24dB/oct., use this preset for almost any applicaon at ground stack
and it must be used with the SW36XFAV2 set as own (see FLOWN SET UP).
INFRA This PRESET can be used when a deeper bass response is required (Note that when this preset is used the
sound pressure level of the system is slightly reduced). The response starts at 36Hz and the cuto is at 60Hz
with LR 24dB/oct.
NOTE: INFRA and STANDARD PRESET must NOT be used together in close units.
CARDIOID This special PRESET, combined with the STANDARD PRESET, gives the advantage to reduce the low frequencies
at the back of an array of three subs, in order to obtain a more comfortable level for the performers on the
stage without losing level for the the audience in front of the array. The cardioid conguraon is also useful
in situaon where you want to reduce the bass frequency feedback due to many microphones on stage, for
example for acousc and jazz ensemble, classic orchestra, musicals. Further in this manual you can nd some
example how to set up a cardioid array.
USER This PRESET corresponds to USER MEMORY no. 1 of the DSP and, as a factory seng, it’s the same to
STANDARD. If you want to modify it, you have to connect the unit to a PC, edit the parameters with PRONET
AX soware and save the PRESET into USER MEMORY no. 1.
WARNING! CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS AND CONDITION OF USE:
• This loudspeaker is designed exclusively for Professional audio applicaons. The product must be installed by qualied
personal only.
• Proel strongly recommends that this loudspeaker cabinet be suspended taking into consideraon all current Naonal,
Federal, State and Local regulaons. Please contact the manufacturer for further informaon.
• Proel do not accept any liability for damage caused to third pares due to improper installaon, lack of maintenance,
tampering or improper use of this product, including disregard of acceptable and applicable safety standards.

PRONET AX
PRONET AX soware has been developed in collaboraon with sound engineers and sound designers, in order to oer an “easy-to-
use” tool to setup and manage your audio system. With PRONET AX you can visualize signal levels, monitor internal status and edit
all the parameters of each connected device.
Download the PRONET AX app registering on MY AXIOM at the website at hps://www.axiomproaudio.com/.
The AXIOM acve loudspeaker devices can be connected in a network and controlled by the PRONET AX soware, for the network
connecon the USB2CAND (with 2-port) converter oponal accessory is needed.
PRONET AX network is based on a “bus-topology” connecon, where the rst device is connected to the network input connector
of the second device, the second device network output is connected to the network input connector of the third device, and so
on. To ensure a reliable communicaon the rst and the last device of the “bus-topology” connecon must be terminated. This can
be done by pressing the “TERMINATE” switch near the network connectors in the rear panel of the rst and the last device. For
the network connecons simple RJ45 cat.5 or cat.6 ethernet cables can be used (please don’t confuse a ethernet network with a
PRONET AX network these are completely dierent and must be fully separated also both use the same kind of cable).

Assign the ID number
To work properly in a PRONET AX network each connected device must have a unique idener number, called ID. By default the
USB2CAN-D PC controller has ID=0 and there can be only one PC controller. Every other device connected must have its own unique
ID equal or greater than 1: in the network cannot exist two devices with the same ID.
In order to correctly assign a new available ID to each device for working properly in a Pronet AX network, follow these instrucons:
1. Switch o all the devices.
2. Connect them correctly to the network cables.
3. “TERMINATE” the end device in the network connecon.
4. Switch on the rst device keep pressed “PRESET” buon on the control panel.
5. Leaving the previous device switched on, repeat the previous operaon on the next device, unl the latest device is turned on.
The “Assign ID” procedure for a device makes the internal network controller to perform two operaons: reset the current ID; search
the rst free ID in the network, starng from ID=1. If no other devices are connected (and powered on), the controller assume ID=1,
that is the rst free ID, otherwise it searches the next one le free.
These operaons ensure that every device has it’s own unique ID, if you need to add a new device to the network you simply repeat
the operaon of step 4. Every device maintains its ID also when it is turned-o, because the idener is stored in the internal
memory and it is cleared only by another “Assign ID” step, as explained above.
With the network made always of the same devices the assigning ID procedure must be executed only the rst me the
system is turned on.
For more detailed instrucon about PRONET AX see the PRONET AX USER’S MANUAL included with the soware.
PREDICTION SOFTWARE: EASE FOCUS 3
To aim correctly a complete system we suggests to use always the Aiming Soware - EASE Focus 3:
The EASE Focus 3 Aiming Soware is a 3D Acousc Modelling Soware that serves for the conguraon and modelling of Line
Arrays and convenonal speakers close to reality. It only considers the direct eld, created by the complex addion of the sound
contribuons of the individual loudspeakers or array components.
The design of EASE Focus is targeted at the end user. It allows the easy and quick predicon of the array performance in a given
venue. The scienc base of EASE Focus stems from EASE, the professional electro- and room acousc simulaon soware developed
by AFMG Technologies GmbH. It is based on the EASE GLL loudspeaker data le required for its use. The GLL le contains the data
that denes the Line Array with regard to its possible conguraons as well as to its geometrical and acouscal properes.
Download the EASE Focus 3 app from the AXIOM website at hps://www.axiomproaudio.com/ clicking on downloads
secon of the product.
Use the menu opon Edit / Import System Denion File to import the GLL le, the detailed instrucons to use the program are
located in the menu opon Help / User’s Guide.
Note: Some windows system can require the .NET Framework 4 that can be download from website at hps://focus.afmg.eu/.
NOTE: in this gure is shown the result of an horizontal cardiod ground stack for the 80Hz octave.

AIMING and SUSPENDING INSTRUCTIONS (FLOWN SET UP)
Suspending the sub-woofers has dierent advantages and some inconvenient. One inconvenient is that it’s not possible to use
the cardioid conguraon, while another one is that as the sub-woofers don’t couple with the ground and indoor usage can have
dierent behaviours depending on ceiling and walls. The advantages are that the space underneath the stage can be free from subs,
the coupling between sub and sat is beer and, using a column of 4-6 sub boxes, the basses can be steered more deeply into the
audience with a more uniform distribuon of the low frequencies.
The SW36XFAV2 subwoofers can be suspended alone or at the top of a vercal array of AX2010A loudspeakers using the KPTSW36
y bar. The boxes are linked together in a column using a series of couplers integrated in the frame of each enclosure. Each system
can be set properly both acouscally and mechanically, using the aiming soware.
Coupling the system in the front does not require any adjustment: using two locking pins, each loudspeaker box is xed to the
previous. The sloed bar in the back is inserted in a U-shaped frame that features a series of numbered holes. Sliding the sloed
bar in the U-shaped frame of the next loudspeaker and inserng a locking pin in one of the numbered holes, it is possible to adjust
the relave splay angle between two adjacent loudspeakers in the array column.
KPTSW36 y bar maximum capacity is 780 Kg (1719 lbs) with the 0° angle. It can support, with a safety factor of 10:1, up to:
• 16 AX2010A (ybar from 0 to 10°)
• 2 SW36XFAV2 + 12 AX2010A (ybar from 0 to 10°)
• 6 SW36XFAV2 + 4 AX2010A (ybar from 0 to 10°)
• 8 SW36XFAV2 (ybar at 0°)

Wind loads
When planning an open-air event it is essenal to obtain current weather and wind informaon. When loudspeaker arrays are own
in an open-air environment, possible wind eects must be taken into account. Wind load produces addional dynamic forces acng
on the rigging components and the suspension, which may lead to a dangerous situaon. If according to the forecast wind forces
higher than 5 b (29-38 Km/h) are possible, the following acons have to be taken:
- The actual on-site wind speed has to be monitored permanently. Be aware that wind speed typically increases with height above
ground.
- Suspension and securing points of the array should be designed to support double the stac load in order to withstand any
addional dynamic forces.
WARNING!
Flying loudspeakers overhead at wind forces higher than 6 b (39-49 Km/h) is not recommended.
If the wind force exceeds 7 b (50-61 Km/h) there is a risk of mechanical damage to the components which may lead to a
dangerous situaon for persons in the vicinity of the own array.
- Stop the event and make sure that no person remains in the vicinity of the array.
- Lower and secure the array.
11
Follow the sequence in the gure for xing the
y bar at the rst box. Usually this is the rst
step before liing up the system. Be careful to
insert properly all the locking pins (1)(2) and
(3)(4) then the shackle (5) in the right holes as
specied by the aiming soware.
When lifting the system always proceed
gradually step by step, paying attention to
secure the y bar to the box (and the box to
the other boxes) before pulling up the system:
this makes easier to insert properly the locking
pins. Also when the system is released down,
unlock gradually the pins.
During the liing be very careful to not let the
cables enter the space between one enclosure
and the other, as their compression could cut
them.
Please note that the boom Rear Link Bar of
the SW36XFAV2 cabinet is retained in the guide
with a magnet, force it to release it down, it is free to slide from rear to front of the box (see gure): the backward posion is to
link another SW36XFAV2 box, the forward posion is to link a AX2010A box.

CARDIOID SET UP
The cardioid preset must be used in a sub array of three SW36XFAV2. Two box must be oriented towards the audience and one
must be turned in the opposite direcon (typically the box in the centre of the array). The boom and the top boxes must have the
STANDARD PRESET, the box in the middle must have the CARDIOID PRESET. The audio signal sent to all boxes is the same.
The CARDIOID PRESET has the same response of the STANDARD PRESET, but to obtain the maximum cancellaon on the back side
