Manual
In order to prevent falling object injuries,
• this device is to be fastened to building  xtures with friction-locking connections using suitable
connector elements according to the installation instructions. The base surface is to be checked
for suitability of installation and, where required, prepared by quali ed personnel.
• the connections and components delivered by Pan Acoustics or expressly mentioned
in this manual are to be used.
• the load-bearing elements and connections are to be checked regularly for wear and loosening.
To minimise the risk of  re or electric shock,
• the product must not be opened. It does not contain any parts that can be serviced by the user.
• the product must not be exposed to moisture or humidity, except for loudspeakers with an ap-
propriate IP protection class.
• no objects  lled with liquid (e.g. bottles) must be placed on top of the device.
• the device must not be exposed to excessive heat, direct sunlight,  re or the like.
• no open sources of  re (e.g. candles) must be placed on top of or under the device.
To prevent injury, this product must be taken out of operation, clearly marked and secured against
accidental operation if the product
• shows signs of visible damage.
• contains loose parts.
• no longer works fl awlessly.
• has been stored for a long time under unfavourable conditions (e.g. in humid rooms).
• was exposed to severe transport stress (e.g. with unsuitable packaging).
To avoid injuries such as hearing damage due to excessive volume levels, persons should
• never stand directly in front of a connected loudspeaker.
• not be exposed to high volume levels over a long period of time.
To prevent injuries, electric shock and  re, ensure that all persons involved in the set up, operation,
dismounting or installation of the device / system have read this operating manual.
To prevent damage to the product, avoid
• generating acoustic feedback.
• playing back distorted signals of high power over a long period of time.
• generating impulse-like sounds (e.g. popping noises) which occur when a media player is switched
on, connected or disconnected.
Device protection and operating safety
• The device is completely disconnected from the signal network by disconnecting the signal con-
nection.
• The device may only be cleaned from the outside using a dry cloth.
• The original packaging or an appropriate transport box (fl ight case) should be used when trans-

Manual
All products from Pan Acoustics are developed and manufactured in Germany according to the latest
safety regulations. Each product is thoroughly inspected prior to shipping according to in-house
quality guidelines.
The device conforms to the current CE regulations for operation in residential, business, commercial
and industrial areas.
The device must be carefully inspected upon receipt for transport damage and completeness. In case
of damage, the transport company and the shipper must be noti ed without delay.
Safety may be compromised if the product:
• shows signs of visible damage.
• no longer works correctly.
• has been stored for a long time under unfavourable conditions.
• has been transported incorrectly (e.g. unsuitable packaging).
If the product shows signs of impairments that no longer guarantee safe operation, the device must
be secured and labelled accordingly. It must also be ensured that no intentional or accidental oper-
ation by third parties is possible.
The loudspeaker is suitable for indoor operation. In outdoor areas, the loudspeaker must only be oper-
ated with a suitable IP protection class (IP54 or IP65). Suffi cient air circulation must be ensured when
operating the device indoors.
The device may be damaged by condensation. It should therefore be appropriately accli-
matised before operation.
The loudspeaker may only be operated in the speci ed ambient temperature --> see chapter 17 “Technical
data loudspeaker”.
When unpacking, it is important to pay attention to the temperature diff erence between the ambient
temperature and the device. If the temperature diff erence is high, it is necessary to wait a suffi ciently
long time before operating the device to avoid damage due to condensation.

8. Assembly and connection
8.1. Assembly of mounts (accessories)
Various mounts are available from the “Pan Accessories” range for installing the loudspeaker on walls
and ceilings
--> see chapter 16 “Mounts”.
The installation and commissioning of loudspeakers must only be carried out by quali ed personnel.
Ensure that the mount chosen corresponds to the requirements on the wall or ceiling structure, along
with operating requirements.
National safety regulations for operation and assembly must be followed.
CONNECTION WITH THE BUILDING STRUCTURE
• It must be ensured that the ceiling/wall area where the device is to be installed is structurally
suitable.
• The mount must lie fl at on the surface of the building structure. The surface must not show any
settlement eff ects even in the long term.
• For a safe and durable connection, plug and screw connections must be dimensioned according to
the acting forces that may occur through lever eff ects.
• In case of doubt as to the type and composition of the building structure, consult a structural engineer.
CONNECTION OF THE LOUDSPEAKER AND MOUNT
• All mounts sourced via Pan Acoustics for the Pan Speaker series are delivered with suitable instal-
lation material for connection with the loudspeaker.
• The connection between the loudspeaker and the mount is made by a  xing point (e.g. a slot nut,
which is inserted into the rear slot of the loudspeaker and tightened with two M6 set screws). The
mB variant of the loudspeaker features a U-bracket, which is mounted via a  xing point in the lids
of the loudspeaker.
• To avoid damage to the mounts and the loudspeakers, no screws longer than the original ones
must be used. Longer screws may destroy the stability of the loudspeaker or cause short circuits
inside the loudspeaker.
• A tightening torque of 10 Nm must be observed for the screw connection between the mount and
the loudspeaker.
You can  nd the installation instructions for the selected mount on our website in the download area.

8.2. Electrical connection
The low-impedance variant of the loudspeaker P 04-Pi is equipped with a 5-pin connector at the back.
The audio signal must be connected via the enclosed connection terminal using pin 1 (+) and pin 2
(-). The connection terminal can also be used to pick up the audio signal again via pin 3 (+) and pin
4 (-) on the loudspeaker.
8.2.1. P 04-Pi (low impedance)
Step 1:
Make the connection panel accessible. The
connection terminal can be  rmly connected to
the loudspeaker enclosure using the screws in
the terminal.
Connection cables must not be used for  xing or suspending loudspeakers.

Step 3:
Insert the connection terminal with the cable
into the 5-pin connector on the loudspeaker.
Step 2:
Insert the stripped wires into pin 1 and pin 2 of
the connection terminal. To do this, open the
screw blocks with a screwdriver. After insert-
ing the wires, close the screw blocks again and
tighten them with a torque of 0.4 Nm so that
the wires cannot slip out.
The wires of the connection cable must be
 tted with wire end ferrules.

The 5-pin connector on the loudspeaker is connected such that the signal can be looped on to an-
other loudspeaker via pin 3 and pin 4. To avoid damage to the connected power ampli er, the total
impedance of all connected loudspeakers in a line must not fall below the impedance of the ampli er.
