precautions if you are going to be near them for extended amounts of time and do not get too close.
- Hanging – Flying.
Do not hang the cabinets from the handles or any other part than the designated hanging point.
When fl ying the cabinets never exceed the maximum safe working loads or ignore the instructions
included within this manual. Rigging must be always carried out by professionals.
- Delicate Material.
Please ensure no foreign object or water enters the speaker. Only clean the unit with dry cloths. Do
not use solvents.
- Fire risk.
Do not put naked fl ame, such as lighted candles, close or on top of the unit.
- Electromagnetic and interferente emissions.
Avoid placing objects which through electromagnetic waves can damage the unit, such as mobile
phones, lap tops, magnetic strip cards etc.
This system complies with normatives EN 55103-1 (1)
EN 55103-2 (2)
(1) This device may not cause harmful interferences.
(2) This device may receive interference including interferences that may cause undesired working.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read the following information carefully and follow these safety precautions.

HR-series
2. CABINET CONECTIONS
2.1 Normative
The HR cabinets meet the following standards:
EN 55103-1:1996: Electromagnetic compatibility. Product family standard for audio, video, audio-visual and
entertainment lighting control apparatus for professional use (-1 Emmision).
EN 55103-1:1996: Electromagnetic compatibility. Product family standard for audio, video, audio-visual and
entertainment lighting control apparatus for professional use. (-2 Immunity)
EN 60065:2002:Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus. Safety requirements.
2.2 Connectors
The HR cabinets have aconnection panel at therear of the cabinet. This consists of 2 internally bridged Neutrik
NL4-MP connectors which apply no process to the signal.
Note: If pins +-2 are not used they will still be internally bridged.
The following table indicates which pins are used for all the models,
with passive and bi-amplifi ed modes.

To connect the speakon follow the instructions in fi g. 1
Insert the male speakon in its corresponding hole and turn right until it clicks. This fi xes it safely and strongly and
helps stop it being pulled out by mistake. At the other end of the cable connect in the same way to the amplifi er
channel.
2.3 Recommendations
Always ensure cables are in good condition. Know the recommended cable length and thickness according
to the cabinet and quantity you are installing.An incorrect connection can affect the functioning of the system
or even damage it. Cable thickness will vary according to cabinet impedance, quantity and distance. This is
especially important when connecting Sub-bass cabinets.
As a guide, please see the following table which outlines the thickness depending on the power and length of
cable.
Bear in mind Ohm ratings on the amplifi ers used to power the cabinets. For example, 2 ohm amplifi er
confi gurations are not recommended due to the excessive power from the amp output.
Never connect more cabinets than recommended in parallel. With parallel connections, the total impedance
can be calculated by dividing the impedance of 1 cabinet by the number connected.

3.2 Coverage change with the rotatable Horn
Many HR cabinets enable the horn to be rotated offering further coverage options. The rotatable horn feature
enables the installer to also set the cabinet up horizontally whilst maintaining the horn features such as hori-
zontal and vertical coverage. This is helpful in installs with low ceilings or where esthetically the cabinet looks
better horizontally.
The following HR cabinets have rotatable horns:
HR-1564/7 (60º x 40º)
HR-1596/7 (90º x 60º)
HR-1264/7 (60º x 40º)
HR-1296/7 (90º x 60º)
HR-1564/5 (60º x 40º)
HR-1596/5 (90º x 60º)
HR-1264/5 (60º X 40º)
HR-1296/5 (90º x 60º)
HR-28 (90º x 60º)
3. CABINET INSTALLATION
3.1 Mounting advices
The HR cabinets are designed to be used in all kind of fi xed installations.
Cabinets must be installed and suspended by professional installers.
Never place the safety of personnel at risk.Always check the accessories, slings etc are in good condition and
the suspension point is secure and free of excess weight, vibration, etc. Be careful where the cabinets are
suspended from.
All responsibility lies with the installation company.
To turn the horn the user must fi rst remove the cabinet grill,
unscrew the horn, rotate it 90º and screw it back in. Just be
sure to maintain the connection and put the grill back on.

NOTE: The bi-amp mode works without the internal crossover so without its protection for the speakers.
Change the cable from one plug to the other and screw the connector
pannel again. That’s all.
You will have the cabinet ready in bi-amp mode, with pin ± 1 connected
to Low Frequencies and pin ± 2 connected to High Frequencies.

3.3 Mode passive or bi-amp
All the HR cabinets are supplied from the factory in passive mode. To change from passive to bi-amp mode is
very simple, you only have to unscrew the connector pannel located at the rear of the cabinet and change the
cable from the PASSIVE plug to theACTIVE plug. These plugs are marked on the circuit board.

Based on polar response measurements, taken meticulously with a 360º coverage both in vertical and
horizontal, the Rainbow software is able to calculate the SPL response including the interaction between them
taking into account the magnitude and phase response, in order to enable the user to correct cancellations and
even
to create them if the acoustical design so requires.
Rainbow is very easy to use and offers a very intuitive design, multitool interface and on-line updatable data
base. The Rainbow software has been designed by and for sound technicians. Its aim is to help installers
and users of LYNX products.
This software is able to import WMF Vector Files with technical drawings and insert them directly into the
prediction window and thus enabling real measurement predictions. This also helps to determine dead zones
and obtain the maximum performance from each of the cabinets installed.

3.5 Acoustical Prediction software: Rainbow
To be able to view and design system set-ups Lynx ProAudio offer Rainbow, a prediction software which can
be downloaded free of charge from the Lynx ProAudio website.
Just go to the support section and click on software: www.lynxproaudio.com/home/support/software
Thanks to the RAINBOW software, you will be able to “virtually” determine the acoustical response of one or
various cabinets at the same time.
