3 System description
The TS30 series cover classic sound reinforcement systems in inline technology. High dynamics
andlimitinglevelareachievedbyspecialcompressiondriverswithhorns.Thereforetheseproducts
are compatible to existing installations. A technical feature available is our reliable bass cardioid
technology.SoeveninacousticallydifcultenvironmentstheproductsoftheTS30seriesareeasy
tohandle.
Thetwo-waysoundreinforcementsystemsTS32andTS32Kfeatureacompactcabinetandhigh
dynamics.Asanall-roundsystemtheyareusefulforspeechandmusicreproductioninsmalland
middlesizedauditoria.Inadditiontheyremainopticallydiscretebecauseoftheirsmalldimensions.
Duringthedevelopmentthehighfrequencysoundtransmissionwasoptimisedforsmallestpossible
colouration.
Thecomponentsincludetwo6.5-inchconewoofersandone1-inchcompressiondriver.Bothare
effectivelysecuredfromdestructionbyaninternalprotectivecircuit.ThebassreexversionTS33
reaches a lower cut-off frequency of 90Hz. The resulting bass level enables the use as a full-
rangesysteminmanysituations.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.

6 Installation and operation
6.1 Mounting and positioning
6.1.1 Changing the coverage angle of the horn driver
Thehorndriversaredesignedwithasquarehornmouthandcanberotatedtochangethecoverage
angle.Bydefault,thehorndriversarebuilt-inforawidehorizontalcoverageangle.
Towidenthecoverageangleofthehorndriververtically,thehorncanberotatedinthehousing.
This reduces the horizontal coverage angle. For this purpose, the screws (PH2) at the top and
bottomofthedevicemustberemoved,whichholdthefoam-coveredfrontgrille.Thegrillecanthen
beremovedcarefully.Thehornisreleasedbyremovingfurtherscrews(PH2)andthenrotatingit
by90°.Afterwardsthehornisscrewedbackon,thegrilleisplacedonthedeviceandalsoscrewed
backon.
6.1.2 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.
6.1.3 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.

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.

Mountingandfasteningelementsforceiling,wallorstandinstallationaswellasuserspecicsolutions
areavailablefromtheretailerormanufacturer.
6.2 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.
6.2.1 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
6.2.2 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.
