Intro
INTRODUCTION
The remarkable quality in our all purpose speakers has only
gotten better through time. We only use the newest,
technologically improved resistors and capacitors materials
for the crossovers of our speakers, allowing that crystal clear
audio that our Nissindo speakers are known for. Every year
we search for new ideas and inspirations for the future
speakers of Nissindo, to carry on the top audio quality that
all speakers are meant to have. And today, we would like to
present not one but two new speakers that are joining the
WS Series speakers. Adding to our Wide Range Speaker
“WS” Series professional speakers is the new WS-315
passive and WS-315A active speaker.
Equipped with an amplifier that can power itself and an
additional speaker, the WS-315A is the perfect choice for
party speaker, and it only gets better with the additional
functions it has. Treble and bass adjustments allow the user
to shake the ground with hard hitting bass and enhance the
tone of the music instruments. Not only is it a powered
speaker, the WS-315A also features many input capability:
RCA, USB, SD, Bluetooth, and FM radio. So either you have
a USB filled with music, SD card from your phone, connect
wirelessly using Bluetooth, or simply listen to the radio, all is
possible with the Nissindo WS-315A.

CAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
POWER SUPPLY / POWER CORD
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device.
The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the
device.
• Use only the included power cord.
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as
heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or
otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or
place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip
over, or roll anything over it.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is
not to be used for extended periods of time, or during
electrical storms.
• When removing the electric plug from the device or an
outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling
by the cord can damage it.
DO NOT OPEN
• Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the
internal parts or modify them in any way. The device
contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to
be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have
it inspected by qualified Nissindo service personnel.
WATER WARNING
• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in
damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it
containing liquids which might spill into an openings.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT
REMOVE COVER (OR BACK) NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS
INSIDE REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
ABNORMALITY
• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged,
or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the
device, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to
be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,
disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the
device inspected by qualified Nissindo service
personnel.
• If this device should be dropped or damaged, immediately
turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from
the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified
Nissindo service personnel.
LOCATION
• Always consult qualified Nissindo service personnel if the
device installation requires construction work, and make
sure to observe the following precautions.
• Choose mounting hardware and an installation location
that can support the weight of the device.
• Avoid locations that are exposed to constant vibration.
• Inspect the device periodically.
• When transporting or moving the device, always use two
or more person. Attempting to lift the device by yourself
may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause
damage to the device itself.
• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
• Do not use the device in a confined, poorly-ventilated
location. If this device is to be used in a small space
other than an EIA-standard rack, make sure that there is
adequate space between the device and surrounding
walls or other devices: at least 30cm at the sides, 30cm
NO GOOD

polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or other
coding is usually considered positive polarity.
If desired, consult Nissindo technical support for
speaker wire and connection options.
The speakers have coded terminals that accept a variety or
wire connectors.
To ensure proper polarity, connect each + terminal on the
back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red)
terminal on each speaker. Connect the – (black) terminals in
a similar way. See the owner’s guides that were included
with your amplifier, receiver and television to confirm connec-
tion procedures.
IMPORTANT: Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +)
when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging
and diminished bass response.
ADJUSTING
Check the speakers for playback, first by setting the system
volume control to a minimum level, and then by applying
power to your audio system. Play a favorite music or video
segment and increase the system volume control to a comfort-
able level.
You should hear balanced audio reproduction across
the entire frequency spectrum. If not, check all wiring connec-
tions or consult the authorized dealer from whom you
purchased the system for more help.
The amount of bass you hear and the stereo-image quality
will be affected by a number of different factors, including the
room’s size and shape, the construction materials used to
build the room, the listener’s position relative to the speakers,
and the position of the speakers in the room.
Listen to a variety of music selections and note the bass level.
If there is too much bass, move the speakers away from
nearby walls. Conversely, if you place the speakers closer to
the walls, there will be more bass output.
CARING
Each enclosure has a finish that does not require any routine
maintenance. When needed, use a soft cloth to remove any
fingerprints or dust from the enclosure or grille.

NOTE
NOTE
behind and 30cm above. Inadequate ventilation can
result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the
device(s), or even fire.
• Do not use the speaker’s handles for suspended installation.
Doing so can result in damage or injury.
• Do no expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations,
or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a
heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility
of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal
components.
• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it
might accidentally fall over.
CONNECTIONS
• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the
power for all devices. Before turning the power on or off
for all devices, set all volume levels to minimum.
CAUTION
• When turning on the AC power in your audio system,
always turn on the device LAST, to avoid speaker damage.
When turning the power off, the device should be turned
off FIRST for the same reason.
• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or
openings on the device (ports, etc.).
• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic,
metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device
(ports, etc.). If this happens, turn off the power immediately
and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then
have the device inspected by qualified Better Music
Builder service personnel.
• Do not use the device for a long period of time at a high
or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause
permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing
loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
• Do not operate the device if the sound is distorting.
Prolonged use in this condition could cause overheating
and result in fire.
• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy
objects on it, and avoid using excessive force on the
buttons, switches or connectors.

EXAMPLE OF SPEAKON CONNECTOR
There are two groups on the speakon connectors: Group 1
(+1, –1) and Group 2 (+2, –2) as indicated in the diagram. In
order to use it, your speaker must have multi-functions (i.e.
enable two sources of signal for input). If your speaker does
not have multi-functions, it would not work with the Group 2
for connection. Please refer to the following diagram for
connection.

SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
Speakon Outputs
The upper Speakon jack has both Channel 1 and
Channel 2 outputs, so it is especially useful for parallel,
bi-amp, or BRIDGE mono operation. The other Speakon
carries only Channel 2's output. See the illustrations at
above.

2-WAY FULL RANGE ACTIVE/POWERED SPEAKER SYSTEM FUNCTIONING
The diagram indicates that signals from the sources (i.e. mixer,
iPod or MP3) to the active/powered speaker through the
powered subwoofer, which acts as a bridge for bringing
signal, are limited in output from the active/powered speaker.
To increase the output from the active/powered speaker, you
need to use a passive/non-powered speaker (instead of an
active/powered speaker) and add a power amplifier to drive
the system. In this case, both the powered subwoofer and the
passive/non-powered speaker are controlled separately by a
mixer and a power amplifier respectively. Therefore, the bass
and the full range sound are totally separate.

The equipment shown in the

HIGH PORTABILITY
This speaker is designed for high portability. It is very easy to
carry. You may also use the flight cases to carry audio
equipment to go anywhere with these speakers for rental or
recreational purposes.
When using the active/powered speaker for full range
coverage, the output is limited. If the output is not high
enough, you need to add a non-powered speaker and also
a power amplifier to the system.
HIGH POWER
This speaker series have two types of speakers:
active/powered speaker and passive/non-powered speaker.
When using the active/powered speaker alone, the output
power is limited to 200 watts. For more than 200 watts in
output, two passive/non-powered speakers and a
high-power amplifier are required to generate higher power
as high as 1,000 watts.

Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. SYMPTOM: NO SOUNDS COMING OUT FROM THE
SPEAKERS
Probable causes:
1. The A/C power of the speaker is turned off.
2. Wrong A/C power selection (i.e. 110V~ 220V).
Remedy:
A. Turn on the A/C power of the speaker.
B. Make sure the receiver or amplifier is on and the source is
playing.
C. Check all wires and connections between receivers,
amplifiers and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected,
none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, and
that no wires are touching each other.
D. Review proper operation of your receiver or amplifier.
E. Choose the right A/C power.
2. SYMPTOM: NO SOUNDS COMING OUT FROM ONLY
ONE SPEAKER
Probable cause:
The A/C power of the speaker is turned off.
Remedy:
A. Check the "Balance" control on your receiver or amplifier.
B. Check all wires and connections between receiver,
amplifier and speaker. Make sure all wires are connected,
none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, and
that no wires are touching each other.
C. In Dolby®Digital or DTS®mode, make sure that the
receiver or processor is configured so that the speaker in
question is enabled.
D. Turn off all electronics and switch the speaker in question
with another speaker that is working correctly. Turn
everything back on, and determine whether the problem is in
the same place: i.e., the speaker that was working previously
now has no sound and the speaker that was not working
now sounds fine. If the problem is in the same place, the
source of the problem is most likely with your receiver or
amplifier, and you should consult the owner's manual for
further information. If the problem is with the speaker, consult
your dealer for further assistance, or visit our web site for
technical support.
3. SYMPTOM: NOISES FROM THE SPEAKER.
Probable cause:
The A/C power cord of the speaker is not grounded.
Remedy:
Change a new magnet cord of the A/C power cord.
4. SYMPTOM: MICROPHONE VOLUME IS TOO LOW.
Probable causes:
A. The microphone is poorly connected to the speaker.
B. The volume on the speaker is too low.
Remedy:
A. Check the connection between the microphone and the
speaker. Make sure that they are connected properly.
Condense microphone doesn't work with the speaker. You
may need to change to a dynamic vocal microphone.
B. Turn the volume to an appropriate level. If the volume is
still not high enough, you may need to upgrade your existing
audio system to a system with much higher output.
5. SYMPTOM: CRACKING NOISES FROM THE SPEAKER.
Probable cause:
The tweeter may be burned out.
Remedy:
Replace with a new tweeter.
Note: we recommend hiring a professional to change a
tweeter in order to do it properly.
6. SYMPTOM: SOUNDS LIKE DAZZ, DAZZ, DAZZ ........
COMING FROM THE SPEAKER.
Probable cause:
The cable (with small gauges) is over 100 feet.
Remedy:
Change to a higher quality cable preferably 12 and 14
gauges.
7. SYMPTOM: TOO MUCH MICROPHONE FEEDBACK
FROM THE SPEAKER.
Probable cause:
Incorrect tremble and bass adjustments on the speaker.
Remedy:
Adjust the tremble and bass to an appropriate level to avoid
microphone feedback.
