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 Subwoofer series are delivered with suitable
installation material for connection with the loudspeaker.
• The connection between the loudspeaker and the mount is made by  xing points (e.g. slot nuts,
which are inserted into the rear slots of the loudspeaker and tightened with two M10 set screws
each). For exact positioning of the slot nuts in the middle of the loudspeaker, there is a blind hole
in the rear slots, see diagram below.
• 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
8.2.1. P SW-108 | RJ (low impedance)
SECURING THE LOUDSPEAKER
The loudspeaker P SW-108 | RJ has an additional securing point at the back of the enclosure. An
eye bolt with an M10 thread can, for example, be screwed in here to secure the loudspeaker against
falling down by means of a safety rope.
The low impedance variant of the loudspeaker P SW-108 | RJ is equipped with an RJ45 socket with
high electrical and mechanical load capacity at the back. The contacts of the RJ45 socket are wired in
such a way that 4 wires of a network cable are combined for low-impedance signal transmission. This
connection variant permits to connect the loudspeaker to power ampli ers with corresponding socket
and assignment using 23 AWG or 24 AWG network cables. Alternatively, an adapter cable is available
to operate the loudspeaker with DSP power ampli ers that do not have an RJ45-compatible port.
Step 1:
Make the connection panel accessible.
Connection cables must not be used for  xing or suspending loudspeakers.
WARNING
To avoid damage to the product or to other IT
equipment, e.g. switches (PoE), the loudspeak-
er must not be connected to such devices.
CAUTION

Step 3:
Connect the network cable to the socket of the
loudspeaker and snap it into place.
Step 2:
Run the network cable with the RJ45 plug to
the loudspeaker.
Check the locking mechanism of the connection
cable for function to prevent the cable from
slipping out.

8.3. Important notice regarding the network cable and ampli er power
8.3.1. Permissible cable cross sections and lengths
8.3.2. RJ pin assignment
The following information is to ensure the safe operation of the loudspeaker with power ampli ers.
The maximum cable lengths and cable cross sections that may be used are indicated below.
Pan Acoustics loudspeakers have a high effi ciency. Due to the high sensitivity of the systems, a con-
siderable sound pressure can already be generated from little applied power. The RJ variants of the
loudspeakers therefore do not have to be driven to the maximum in order to produce a sound level
that is suffi cient for the room, e.g. in conference applications.
Network cables are not suitable for transmitting high currents. It is therefore important to adjust the
power of the DSP power ampli er to the conditions, max. 20 watts (programme) / 60 watts (peak).
Cables have an electrical resistance and can heat up considerably depending on the cable cross sec-
tion. To prevent a cable  re, the cross section of the cable must be suffi ciently dimensioned.
WARNING

CAT5e or CAT6 cables are suitable for adapted power transmission if their cross sections correspond
to 23 AWG or 24 AWG cables. Shielded cables are NOT required.
For optimum power transmission, only use cables with copper cores.
NOTICE
8.3.3. RJ adapter
CAT cable cross section Cable length (1 dB attenuation) Cable length (1 dB attenuation)
22 AWG (0.326 mm²) 36 m @ 8 ohms 72 m @ 4 ohms
23 AWG (0.258 mm²) 28 m @ 8 ohms 56 m @ 4 ohms
24 AWG (0.205 mm²) 22 m @ 8 ohms 44 m @ 4 ohms
The maximum cable length (24 AWG cable) between the power ampli er and the loudspeaker with RJ
socket should not exceed the length of 100 m @ 4 ohms and 60 m @ 8 ohms.
The contacts of the loudspeaker’s RJ socket are wired in such a way that 4 wires (blue/brown) and 4
wires (green/orange) are combined to one wire (+) and one wire (-). This assignment results in no
polarity reversal when using a crossed network cable.
For connection to a DSP power ampli er that is not equipped with a correspondingly assigned RJ
socket, but e.g. with a 2-pin connection terminal, an adapter with Keystone socket is available.
