1. PRECAUTIONS
1.1 Important Notice
The flashing light with an arrowhead symbol inside an equilateral triangle on it is
intended to alert the user of the presence of non-insulated “dangerous voltage”
within the enclosure, which might be of sufficient magnitude to pose a risk of
electric shock to users.
The exclamation mark within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user
of the requirement for important operating and maintenance (servicing), for which
instructions may be found in the literature accompanying the appliance.
WARNING (If applicable): Terminals marked with symbol “” may be of sufficient
magnitude to pose a risk of electric shock. The external wiring connected to terminals requires
installation by a technician, or the use of ready-made leads or cords.
WARNING: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or humidity.
WARNING: A device with Class I manufacturing ought to be connected to a mains socket
outlet with a protective earthing connection.
WARNING: Ecler products have a long lifetime of more than 10 years. This product
must never be discarded as unsorted urban waste, but must be taken to the nearest
electrical and electronic waste treatment centre.

1.2 Key Safety Directions
1. Read the following directions.
2. Keep the following directions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all directions.
5. Do not use this device in proximity
to water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation
openings. Install in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other devices (including
amplifiers) that may release heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized or grounding type
plug. A polarized plug has two
blades, being 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 fit into
your outlet, contact a qualified
electrician for a replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being
walked on or pinched, particularly at
the plugs, convenience receptacles,
and at the point of exit from the
device.
11. Only use attachments/accessories
specified by the manufacturer.
12. Unplug the device during lightening
sorts or when unused for long periods of
time.
13. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
Servicing is required when the device
has been damaged in any way, such as
power supply cord or plug damage,
liquid spillage or objects onto the device,
the device has been exposed to rain or
humidity, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.
14. Disconnecting from mains: When
switching off the POWER switch, all the
functions and light indicators of the unit
will be stopped, but fully disconnecting
the device from mains is done by
unplugging the power cable from the
mains input socket, therefore, it should
always remain easily accessible
15. Equipment is connected to a socket-
outlet with an earthing connection by
means of a power cord.
16. The marking information is located at the
bottom of the unit.
17. The device shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing liquids, and no
liquid-filled objects, such as a filled up
glass, shall be placed on top of the
device.
1.3 Cleaning Directions
Clean the unit with a soft, dry clean cloth or slightly wet with water and neutral liquid
soap only, then dry it with a clean cloth. Be careful that water never gets into the unit through
any hole. Never use alcohol, benzine, solvents or abrasive substances to clean this unit.
NEEC AUDIO BARCELONA, S.L. accepts no liability for any damage that may be caused to
people, animal, or objects due to failure to comply with the warnings above.

3. DESCRIPTION & FEATURES
NIMBO-26 is a premium performance 2-way passive loudspeaker with 140W RMS power, in
a compact size with extended low frequency response. Suitable for outdoor applications, with
a cloud-inspired design, result of Ecler's engineering skills and the collaboration of architects
and interior designers.
Including 2 x 6.5" woofers and a 1" silk tweeter located in the acoustic centre, acting as a single
point source to disperse the sound evenly.
The nominal impedance of the speaker can be selected to 4 ohm or 16 ohm thanks to the front
switch located behind the logo, which allows to modify its impedance without removing the
aluminium front grille.
It includes the robust VEASY wall bracket, allowing tilt and pan adjustment using a single
screw.
3.1 Main Features
•2-way passive loudspeaker for surface and ceiling mounting.
•2x 6.5" woofers with 4-layer voice coil improves power handling and low frequency
response.
•1" silk tweeter with neodymium magnet and ferrofluid.
•Glass-fibre reinforced ABS non resonant compact enclosure.
•Wide dispersion pattern.
•VEASY bracket compatible with VESA 100 included. Quick and easy to install,
including jumps and markings for repeating speaker orientation.
•Weather-protected with an IP-44 rating.
•Available in white (RAL9003), black (RAL9005) and gold colour (RAL1036, approx.)
•RAL paint customization available.

4. CONNECTIONS
The connection cables which connect the amplifiers output and the speaker should be of good
quality, have sufficient conductor area and be as short as possible. The latter fact is especially
important when the distance is long and the load impedance low (4-16 Ω). A cross-section of
at least 2.5mm2 is recommended for distances up to 10m; 4 or 6mm2 for longer distances.
Following formula gives the required section, assuming 4% losses:
Cross section in mm2=Length in m
Loudspeaker impedance in Ω
Always respect the polarity. The loudspeaker has an INPUT Euroblock connector, and a
second STACK Euroblock connector thereby facilitating the parallel connection of speaker.
See detailed connections diagram on next page.

8. POSITIONING & INSTALLATION
8.1 Positioning
Consider following general rules.
Place the speaker on a solid and firm surface. No obstacles should stand between the
enclosures and the audience. The high frequencies are very directive compared to the low
frequencies, so that any obstacle will impair their response. In case large audiences must be
addressed, a better long distance sound propagation will be achieved if the enclosures are
flown high enough.
