For over 30 years, Earthquake Sound has been producing a variety of high quality audio products that
have impressed audiophile communities around the world. It all started in 1984 when Joseph Sahyoun,
a music freak and Aerospace Engineer unhappy with the existing loud speaker technology and
performance, decided to put his advance engineering knowledge to use. He pushed technological
boundaries to the limit to create the kind of subwoofer he could live with. Earthquake quickly created a
name for itself in the car audio industry and became well known for its powerful subwoofers and
ampliers. In 1997, using his existing expertise in the audio industry, Joseph Sahyoun expanded his
company to home audio production.
Earthquake Sound has since evolved into a leader in the home audio industry, producing not only
subwoofers and ampliers but surround speakers and tactile transducers as well. Engineered by
audiophiles for audiophiles, Earthquake Sound audio products are meticulously crafted to reproduce
each and every single note perfectly, bringing your home theater experience to life. With true dedication
and full attention to details, Earthquake Sound engineers continuously develop new and better prod-
ucts to meet customers’ needs and go beyond their expectations.
From mobile audio to prosound and home audio, Earthquake Sound has been selected as the winner of
many prestigious awards based on sound quality, performance, value and features. CEA and numerous
publications have awarded Earthquake Sound with over a dozen design and engineering awards.
Additionally, Earthquake Sound has been granted many design patents by the USPO for revolutionary
audio designs that have changed the sound of the audio industry.
Headquartered in a 60,000 square foot facility in Hayward, California USA, Earthquake Sound currently
exports to over 60 countries worldwide. In 2010, Earthquake Sound expanded its export operations by
opening a European warehouse in Denmark. This accomplishment was recognized by the US Depart-
ment of Commerce who honored Earthquake Sound with an Export Achievement award at the 2011
Consumer Electronic Show. Just recently, the US Department of Commerce presented Earthquake
Sound with another Export Achievement award for expanding its export operations in China.

Important Safety Instructions:
System Installation Considerations
There are several factors to consider before in-
stalling.
What are the intended listening zones?
From where in each zone will the listener prefer to
control the system? Where will the subwoofer or
amplier be located?
Where will the source equipment be located?
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polar-
ized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug
has two blades with one wider than the other.
The grounding-type plug has two blades and a
third grounding prong. The wide blade or the
third prong is provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not t into your outlet, con-
sult an electrician for replacement of the obso-
lete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit

ed by the manufacturer.
12) Use only a compatible rack or cart for the nal

mally, or has been dropped.
15) To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do
not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

Note
The speaker stand mounting bracket is designed
to slide into a channel found at the base of the
main speaker mounting bracket shown in the
images to the right.
1.
With the included mounting hardware, fasten the
35mm speaker stand bracket to the main speaker
mounting bracket with a 3/16 hex key allen
wrench (not included). Slide the brackets together
as shown in the images to the right and use four
of the nuts and bolts to secure them together.
ASSEMBLING DJ-ARRAY GEN2 SPEAKERS
Before you begin assembling the DJ-Array GEN2 speaker system, make sure
that you have all of the required mounting hardware. Each array requires 12
bolts and four nuts for assembly.

3.
With the mounting brackets assembled, begin
mounting the array speakers with the remaining
mounting hardware. Each of the four array speak-
ers will require two bolts to securely fasten them
to the mounting bracket. Align the speaker con-
tacts with the mounting bracket contacts and gen-
tly push the speaker into place. Secure the array
speaker with the two bolts and be careful not to
over tighten them. Doing so could strip the
threads inside the speaker. Repeat this step for
the remaining pieces until all for speakers are se-
curely fastened to the mounting bracket.
The DJ-Array GEN2 line array speaker system is
now ready to mount onto a stand. Earthquake
Sound supplies speaker stands (sold separately)
that can match with the DJ-Array GEN2. The 2B-
ST35M steel speaker stand is recommended for
this array speaker.

DJ-Quake Sub v2
Left Array Right Array
CONNECTING DJ-ARRAY GEN2 SPEAKERS
The DJ-Array GEN2 speakers are equipped with
1/4″ TRS input connectors at the bottom portion
of the mounting bracket. With the supplied TRS
cables, gently push one end of the TRS cable plug
into the input as shown below and push the other
end into your amplier or powered subwoofer.
The DJ-Quake Sub v2 is a great choice to pair with
these array speakers as it features multiple inputs
and outputs as well as an active 12 inch sub-
woofer to create the ultimate and portable DJ
system.
Using the supplied 1/4″ TRS cables, connect left
and right DJ-Array GEN2 speaker systems to the
left and right array inputs located on the back of
the DJ-Quake Sub v2 or any other amplier that
supports 1/4″ TRS inputs. You do not need to run
any other speaker cables for these array speakers
due to the convenient internal wiring inside the
mounting bracket.
Earthquake strongly recommends using the HUM
Kleaner active line converter and pre-amplier
when your audio system is susceptible to noise at
the source or when you need to push an audio
signal through long wire runs. Please refer to the
manual before setting up and using this product.
