IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the following very carefully before operating this unit
Read ALL instructions carefully before using this unit. Keep these instructions for future reference. Heed all warnings and follow all
instructions.
Do not use this unit near water, in the rain, or where there is moisture. If this warning is ignored a serious electrical shock or death may
occur.
Do not attempt to service this unit. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified, ISP approved personnel. Servicing is
required when the unit is damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen
into the unit, the unit has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
Do not block any ventilation openings on the unit. Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus that produces heat.
Do not defeat the grounding pin on the power plug. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. If the grounded plug
does not fit in your outlet, please consult an electrician for replacement of the outlet, which may be obsolete.
Care should be taken to avoid any foreign objects or liquid into this unit. Avoid exposure of this equipment to dripping or splashing and
ensure that no objects filled with liquid, such as vases, are placed on the equipment.
Only use accessories or attachments that are specified by the manufacturer.
Use only with the caster attachment, stand, connecting bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold as an accessory with the
unit. When a castor attachment is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tipping over.
To completely disconnect this unit from the AC mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the AC receptacle.
This active speaker system has internal power amplifier(s) and a heatsink located internally with cooling ports on the back of the unit for
airflow over the heatsink. Care should be taken to avoid placing this active speaker in a location where the airflow over the heatsink is
impeded and proper cooling of the internal amplifiers is not provided. Avoid placing this system close to other heat sources. The external
heatsink may reach high temperatures under normal use. Do not block the external heatsink with any other object. Make certain there is
proper ventilation for the external heatsink when in use.
Do not drive the unit into excessive heavy distortionfor an extended period of time to avoid premature speaker failure.
Failure to follow these instructions may void the warranty.
THIS UNIT CONTAINS POTENTALLY LETHAL VOLTAGES. TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK OR
HAZED, DO NOT REMOVE THE POWER AMPLIFIER MODULE, INPUT PANEL OR AC INPUT PANEL.
NO UER SERVICABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED ISP TECHNOLOGIES

POWER REQUIREMENTS
This unit requires connection to a 120 volt AC outlet. Do not cut or
disconnect the ground pin on the power cord. Do not attempt to
connect this unit to any power source other than the specified 120VAC.
Caution: Exposure to extremely high noise levels can
cause permanent hearing loss.
The Vector FS is capable of producing in excess of 126db SPL at 1 meter. Continued exposure
to noise levels in excess of 90db may cause permanent hearing loss. Below is a chart of the
OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) regulations for Occupational Noise
Exposure. Please note: OSHA requires hearing protection for any work environment when the
sound levels exceed those shown in Table G-16 when measured on the A scale of a standard
sound level meter at slow response.

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of the Vector FS Guitar cabinet/monitor.With the
Vector FS™ the guitarist can hear exactly the same signal that is coming from the
Front of House sound system on stage. The Vector FS has two separate inputs so
the players can feed the speaker simulated output to one input and mix a second
monitor signal from FOH eliminating the need for a second stage monitor speaker.
The Vector FS can be used on the floor as a monitor or placed on a pole for
vertical mount applications and includes a selectable response for either floor or
pole mount applications. When used as a floor monitor, the Vector FS has a 40
degree tilt angle.
The tuned Vector FS cabinet is based on a high performance 12 inch Neo woofer
with a demodulation ring for improved midrange clarity and lower distortion. Also, a
1 x 1.75 inch poly diaphragm high frequency compression driver on a 60 x 80
advanced waveguide is incorporated for accurate HF response.
All of the components are powered by a dual channel, 400 watt ISP Technologies
patented DAATM power amplifier that has been precision tuned and equalized for
flat, Full Spectrum Audio. The Vector FS can deliver up to 126db SPL peak output
level for even the most demanding stage performance. While the Vector FS is the
perfect partner of the ISP Technologies Theta Pro DSP™ floor guitar system, it will
also function flawlessly with other guitar systems.
The Vector FS is spectrally balanced, and will keep that balance even when on
stage even when you are driving it harder to compensate for the SPL level of
everyone else’s gear, crowd noise etc. It also uses a Faital 12 inch woofer with a
demodulation ring to provide better midrange and a more linear performance with
lower distortion.
The Vector FS has two switches on the back panel, one for STAND vs Floor
Mount and one for HIGH PASS. The STAND setting has been equalized to
compensate for the difference in Bass that occurs when the speaker is in the air vs
on the floor. This will provide the same flat response when using the Vector FS on
a stand. Note that pushing this switch in when the Vector FS is one the floor will
increase the amount of low and mid bass and will not provide a true flat response
for your stage monitor application.
The HIGH PASS is provided to high pass the Vector FS when using a subwoofer
as part of your rig. This HIGH PASS is a 4th order high pass filter with a corner
frequency at 85Hz. Push this switch IN when using an external subwoofer.
