3. Instructions for use and installation
1. Protection and maintenance.
To avoid jeopardizing correct operation, it is best not
to position the enclosures for long periods in exposed
places (damp, high temperature, etc.), in dusty
environments or those subject to strong vibrations. On
this subject, it’s advisable to always leave the protective
grille mounted on the enclosures. In the event of
breakdown, do not open the enclosure, but contact the
nearest GENERALMUSIC Service Centre.
2. Connections.
Always connect or disconnect the enclosures with the
power amplifier off: in this manner, annoying and often
dangerous peaks are avoided.
3. Connector cables.
When connecting the enclosures to the power amplifier,
make certain to always use only power cables made
up of just two wires with the same cross-section: the
use of signal cables could cause an excessive loss of
power. Check periodically that your cables are in good
condition, correctly wired and with perfectly efficient
contacts: in fact many problems and drawbacks (false
contacts, ground hum, crackles, etc.) are caused by the
use of unsuitable or damaged cables.
4. The x300 system (fig. 1)
x300 is a loudspeaker system hosted in a ultra-light
polypropylene cabinet. The system utilizes a 1” horn-
loaded compression driver and a 12” woofer with
neodymium magnet and it has a power handling of
300W EIA.
x300, available both with 4ohm and 8ohm impedance, is
equipped with a carefully engineered passive crossover
and with a sophisticated active circuit for the protection
of the driver against power overloading.
5. Installation and connections
1. Installation (fig. 3)
x300 is fitted with an adapter for the installation on a
standard loudspeaker stand. In addition, four flying
points are provided, 2 on the top panel and 2 on the
bottom panel, for the installation of the system using
M10 threaded hardware or dedicated accessories.
IMPORTANT!!!
The threaded inserts allow only one x300 to be
suspended at a time, therefore THE SUSPENSION
OF MORE UNITS IN A SINGLE VERTICAL CLUSTER
IS NOT RECOMMENDED. In case this is needed,
don’t hang more than 2 units.
2. Connections
The x300 is provided with SPEAKON connectors for the
connection to power amplifiers or powered mixers (see
fig.3).
The 4ohm version is fitted with a single SPEAKON
connector (INPUT), while the 8ohm version has an
additional SPEAKON connector (LINK) to be used to
send the power to a second unit connected to the same
amplifier's channel.
6. Connection panel (fig. 4)
1. SPEAKON power input for the connection to the
power outputs of the amplifier or the powered
mixer (INPUT). The SPEAKON connector wiring
diagram is printed on the enclosure connection
panel.
2. SPEAKON power output for the linking of two
loudspeaker systems to the same amplifier or
powered mixer (LINK).
