future reference.
When using any electric product, basic precauons should always be taken, including the following:
– To reduce the risk, close supervision is necessary when the product is used near children.
– Protect the apparatus from atmospheric agents and keep it away from water, rain and high humidity places.
– This product should be site away from heat sources such as radiators, lamps and any other device that generate heat.
– This product should be located so that its locaon or posion does not interfere with its proper venlaon and heang dissipaon.
– Care should be taken so that objects and liquids do not go inside the product.
– The product should be connected to a power supply mains line only of the type described on the operang instrucons or as marked on the
product. Connect the apparatus to a power supply using only power cord included making always sure it is in good condions.
– WARNING: The mains plug is used as disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
– Do not cancel the safety feature assured by means of a polarized line plug (one blade wider than the other) or with a earth connecon.
– Make sure that power supply mains line has a proper earth connecon.
– Power supply cord should be unplugged from the outlet during strong thunderstorm or when leunused for a long period of me.
– Do not place objects on the product’s power cord or place it in a posion where anyone could trip over, walk on or roll anything over it. Do not
allow the product to rest on or to be installed over power cords of any type. Improper installaons of this type create the possibility of fire hazard
and/or personal injury.
– This product may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause
permanent hearing loss. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause
permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in suscepbility to noise-
induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed
to sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the
permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart. According to
OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in some
hearing loss. To ensure against potenally dangerous exposure to high sound
pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment
capable of producing high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors while
the equipment is in operaon. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over
the ears must be worn when operang the equipment in order to prevent
permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here. Keep
your's aenon that children and pets are more suscepble to excessive noise
levels.
IN CASE OF FAULT
• In case of fault or maintenance this product should be inspected only by qualified service personnel when:
– There is a flaw either in the connecons or in the supplied connecng cables.
– Liquids have spilled inside the product.
– The product has fallen and been damaged.
– The product does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.
– The product has been lost liquids or gases or the enclosure is damaged.
• Do not operate on the product, it has no user-serviceable parts inside, refer servicing to an authorized maintenance centre.
TROUBLESHOOTING
No Power • The loudspeaker's "POWER" switch is off.
• Make sure the mains AC outlet is live (check with a tester or a lamp).
• Make sure the mains plug is securely plugged into mains AC outlet.
No Sound • Is the input LEVEL control for the channel turned up?
• Is the SIGNAL LED illuminated? If not check if your signal level is too low or check the signal cable, mixer and other
equipment seng and cabling.
• Are you sure your signal cables works properly? check it using a cable tester or replacing with a new one.
• Is the SPEAKON cable connector correctly inserted? turn it clockwise unl it clicks.
• Are you sure your power cable works properly? check it using a cable tester or replacing with a new one.
Distorted Sound • Input signal level is too high. Turn down your level controls.
NOTE: The loudspeakers should never be operated at a level which causes the amplifier Clip LEDs to illuminate
constantly.
Different channel
level
• Check if are using a balanced cable for one channel and an unbalanced one for the other, as this would cause a
considerable difference in channel levels.
• Be sure that your loudspeaker system is fully connected and both loudspeakers have the same impedance.
Noise / Hum • Enable GND LIFT buon on rear panel, if the problem persist press all GND LIFT buons for all system's amplifiers.
• Whenever possible, preferably use only balanced cables. Unbalanced lines may also be used but may result in noise
over long cable runs.
• Somemes it helps to plug all audio equipment into the same AC circuit so they share a common ground.

and 24 bit AD/DA converters, for a superior sonic performance. Advanced funcons include full parametric EQ for the
system fine tuning, delay lines for speaker alignment, up to 48 dB/oct. crossover filters, three bands of dynamic EQ,
compressors/limiters for protecng the transducers against distoron and power overloads. 4 different PRESETS (FLAT,
DJ, SPEECH, MONITOR) opmized for using the system in different applicaons are also available.
INPUT AND CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS (FIG. 1 / 2 / 3)
1. LINE/MIC IN (combo XLR-JACK input)
This is a female combo connector, which accepts a XLR or a JACK plug from almost any type of equipment with a
balanced or unbalanced outputs. The XLR input is wired as follows:
Pin 1 = shield or ground
Pin 2 = + posive or "hot"
Pin 3 = - negave or "cold"
The JACK input is wired as follows:
Tip = + posive or "hot"
Ring = - negave or "cold"
Sleeve = shield or ground
When connecng an unbalanced signal, wire them as follows:
Pin2 / Tip = + posive or "hot"
Pin 1-3 / Sleeve = shield or ground
NOTE: whenever possible, use always balanced cables. Unbalanced lines may also be used but may result in noise over
long cable runs. In any case, avoid using a balanced cable for one channel and an unbalanced one for the other.
2. LINK (XLR output)
This is a male XLR connector, it is connected in parallel with the respecve LINE IN input, so the LINK is wired as LINE IN
input. Connect these to the inputs of other powered speakers to make an array.
3. GND LIFT switch
This switch lithe ground of the balanced audio inputs from the earth-ground of the amplifier. If you have HUM noise
problem on one or more loudspeaker try to change the posion of these switches (oen all up or all down for all the
amplifiers in the system). Please note that to have an effect all cables must be balanced.
4. MIC / LINE switch
This switch adjusts the gain of the LINE/MIC input varying the sensivity between MIC, suited to connect a microphone,
and LINE, suited to connect a device with high level output like a MIXER, a CD player etc.
NOTE: do not use the MIC sensivity to "pump up" the volume with the LINE level equipment, in order to avoid the AD
converter saturaon that could produce very annoying distoron.
5. LEVEL control
Rotary level control: it aenuates the level of the signal sent to the LINE input. The aenuaon ranges from “0” fully
closed (the signal is completely aenuated) to “10” fully open, nominal level (the signal is not aenuated in any way,
so is fed to the internal amplifier at the same level at which it arrives on input).
