SYSTEMDESCRIPTION 3
musikelectronic geithain GmbH TS 53KSP
3 System description
The active, coaxial two-way sound reinforcement system TS53KSP features a compact cabinet,
neutralsoundcolour,strongverticaldirectivityandhighdynamics.Thisactivesystemisengineered
for high class speech and music reproduction in small and middle sized auditoria. In addition it
remainsopticallydiscretebecauseofitssmalldimensions.Thesmallsizeandactiveamplication
increase the exibility when choosing the installation place, because an amplier is not needed.
ConnectiontotheprofessionaldigitalmixingconsolesisprovidedbyAES/EBUinputsandoutputs.
Theadjustmentto the sizeofthe auditorium isfacilitatedbyan adjustable delay and additional
inputsandoutputsallowingfeed-throughoftheaudiosignal.Theabandonmentofhornspeakers
resultsinaneutralityyouonlyknowfromrstclassstudiomonitors.
The components include two 6.5-inch cone woofers and eight 1-inch dome tweeters. Both are
effectively secured from destruction by an internal limiter. The coaxial arrangement ensures a
homogeneous dispersion and this also reduces the size of these powerful sound reinforcement
systems.Becauseofthestrongverticaldirectivity,distractionsbyceilingandoorreectionsare
effectivelyreduced.Thankstobothofthesetechnicalfeaturestheoperationofthesespeakersystems
inacousticallydifcultenvironmentsissimplied.OptionallyourTT-subwooferscanbeemployedto
extendthebasstransmissionrangebymorethanoneoctave.
Avarietyofavailablemountingsprovideeasyassemblyforalmosteveryapplication.Specialadapters
enableaverticalcolumnofuptofourTS53KSPtoexiblyadjusttheacousticreachtotheactual
caseofapplication.

7.1 Mounting and positioning
7.1.1 Instructions for mounting and suspension of speakers
Refersuspendingthespeakerstotrainedandqualiedpersonnel.
Heedallwarningsandinstructionsofthespeakersandmountingaccessoriesaswellasnational
regulations.
Everyspeakeristobesuspendedwithasecondindependentyingpoint.Thisappliesalsotospeakers
principallysuspendedontwoyingpoints.Theadditionalprotectionsuspensionhastobeattached
inthatwaythatincaseoffailureoftheprimarysuspensionthesecondarysuspensionisholding
thespeakerwithoutfallingorswinging.Ensurethatall connections aresecured to preventtheir
detachingontheirownandthatonlyadmissiblystaticallytestedandsufcientlysizedconnecting
devices,ropesandchainsareused.
7.1.2 Mounting instructions for speakers
Speakersaretobemountedinaway,sothattheycannotfallandcausedamagestoenvironmentor
persons.Thereforestackedspeakersaretobesecuredwithsafetystraps.Connectingcableshave
tobeinstalledsothatnobodytrips.
Stability of stacked systems (including standsand distance rods) is ensured, when the following
requirementisfullled:
Stackedsystemsmaynotfalleveniftheyareinclinedmorethan10°inanydirection.Tofullthis
requirementtakemeasurestoachievecompliance.Onepossibilityisstrappingthestackedspeakers
toasolidbaseorusingsafetystraps.
7.1.3 Accurate alignment of the speakers
Theenvironmentheavilyinuencestheresultofthesoundreinforcement,soabsolutestatements
arenotpossible.Aproperalignmentofthespeakersleadstohearableincreasesinquality.
Midandhighrangesystemsshouldbeinstalledaboveheightofheadoftheaudiencetoprevent
shadowingofsound.Alowerinstallationheightresultsingreaterdifferencesinlevelbetweenfront
andbackseatscomparedtospeakerswithhigherinstallationheight.Pleasenotethatthisisjusta
generalguidelineandthebestpossibleresultmayvaryfromroomtoroom.
7.1.4 Mounting and fastening elements

7.2 Starting up the speakers
Eachtimeavisualinspectionandfunctionalcheckisrecommendbeforestartingupthespeakers.If
therearedoubtsregardingproperoperatingconditionorsafetyofthespeaker,thespeakermustn‘t
beused.
Whenchainhoistsareinoperationensurenobodyisdirectlyunderneathorinthevicinitytotheload.
7.2.1 Visual inspection
Toreduceriskofaccidentsbyfailureordysfunctionofacomponentallsystemsneedregularchecks.
;visualinspectionofalloutsidepartsforobviousdamage(e.g.scratches,damagesofanykind)
;visualinspectionofallmountingaccessoriesforobviousdamage(e.g.scratches,corrosion)
;inspectionoffrontgrilleandfoamforsecureattachment
;regularlubricationofallsocketswithWD-40orsimilarproducts
7.2.2 Functionalcheck
;Whenthesystemisreadyforoperationturnupthelevelonthemixingconsole.Thenthelevels
ofthetopcabinetsandbasssystemsshouldbebalanced.
;AdjustmentofthesystemsisalsopossiblewithoutthesoftwareMEGeithainDSPControldirectly
withthecontrolsattheTS…SPspeakers.
;Before switching off the system all speakers should be disconnected from mains. After that
switchofftheremainingequipment.

7.3 Wiring
;Turnoffallequipmentandensurethespeakersarenotconnectedtomainssupply.
;Use only cables complying with national security regulations
Beforeuse,inspectthecablesforobviousdamages(e.g.throughbends).
;Switchonperipheraldevices(mixingconsoles,effects,etc.)rst,speakersshouldbethelast
devicesto be switched on. Stick to this order,otherwiseswitchingnoisescoulddamagethe
systems.
;Incaseofnoise,turnoffalldevicesinreverseorderandcheckallcableconnections.Afterthat
switchontheotherperipheraldevicesandcheckthemforinterferences.
;Forlong-terminstallations a permanentconnectionto the network isadvisable,to ease the
maintenancerespectivecongurationcapabilitiesofthespeakers.
;Ensureallcablesareinstalledinawaythatnobodycantripoverthem.
7.4 Cable connection
Theinputoftheintegratedamplieriselectricallybalanced.Whenyoursignalsourcealsoutilizes
balancedconnectors,pleaseuseacablewiredasstatedinthetable:
Balanced connector
(amplier)
Balanced connector
(signal source)
Unbalancedconnector
(signal source)
XLR XLR RCA
Earth Pin1 Pin1 Ring
Signal+ Pin2 Pin2 Tip
Signal- Pin3 Pin3 Ring
Whenusingasignalsourcewith unbalanced outputs(RCA) youneed to balance theconnecting
cables.Thisavoidshumandothernoiseinterferences.Thetableandthefollowinggureshowthe
wiring.
