IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations on your purchase of the SPA 110P, 2-way active professional speaker. It can be used for live
sound reinforcement, permanent installations and a variety of other applications.
UNPACKING
To unpack the unit, open the carton by cutting along the edge of the flaps. Push the flaps wide open. Fold
any one flap and tilt the carton on this edge taking care that the flap stays open. Gently turn the carton
upside down so that all the 4 flaps stay open and spread out, and the unit comes to rest on the Styrofoam
buffer. You may need someone to help you with this. Next lift the carton from the unit. Remove the styrofoam
buffer on the bottom of the unit, facing you.
Carefully lift the unit from the styrofoam buffer on which it is resting, strip it of its protective cover and place
it in its intended location.
MOUNTING
The speakers may be mounted on stands. The SPA 110P is equipped with pole- mount sockets, for fixing
to a pole. It can be found at the bottom of the unit, and is capable of accommodating a pole of diameter
35 mm. The pole mount socket has a depth of 90 mm. The speakers may also be used as stage monitor/
wedges.
OPERATION
Connect the balanced output of your mixer or other source equipment to the balanced input (XLR female
connectors) of your speaker. Pin connections are pin1-earth or ground, pin2 – hot or positive, and pin3- cold
or negative. If the output of your source equipment is unbalanced, (which however is not recommended
because of noise pick-up problems), short pin 3 and pin1.
Check that the utility outlet for powering your unit is of matching voltage and frequency printed on the back
panel. Also ensure that it is capable of providing the required power, as printed on the back panel. Connect
the mains cable supplied with the unit, to the utility wall outlet after you have connected all other equipment.
Switch on the console or source equipment first. Switch on power to the monitor last. That way, you will not
hear any nasty turn-on thumps generated by other equipment downstream which may be damaging to your
ears and your speaker. The power indicator at the back of the unit will light up. This indicates that your unit
has powered up and is ready for use.
Keep bass/treble controls in mid-position, initially. Play some recorded source material. Depending on the
placement of your speaker and your personal preference for the type of mix you want, you may want to
adjust the bass/treble controls. While setting the mic/line controls, it is best to keep the master level control
within the 12 o’clock to 3 o’clock range. Doing so will result in clear output. Make sure that the output level
of the source equipment is not set too high or distorted output will occur. Use the mode button to switch
between USB/SD, Bluetooth and FM Radio.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. The unit should be connected only to a wall outlet providing the correct mains voltage and frequency as
printed on the product.
2. Connect the unit to the mains only with the mains cable supplied with the unit.
3. Ensure that the wall outlet is properly earthed, that is, the earth must be connected to a earth bus-bar
which connects to other audio equipment and is not shared by noisy equipment like computers,
air-conditioners, lighting appliances etc. The earth connection must be checked and certified by a
qualified electrical engineer.
4. Do not place the unit on an unstable surface that may topple and cause the unit to fall, thereby causing
injury to the user or other people.
5. Do not place the unit outdoors where it may be exposed to strong sunlight, rain or moisture. Do not
place it near a water body or sprinkler.
