1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Beforeinstallationoruse,besuretocarefullyreadalltheinstructionsinthissectionforcorrectandsafeoperation.
• Be suretofollow alltheprecautionary instructions inthissection, which contain important warnings and/orcautions
regardingsafety.
• Afterreading,keepthismanualhandyforfuturereference.
• Installtheunitonlyinalocationthatcanstructurallysupporttheweightoftheunitandthemountingbracket.
 Doingotherwisemayresultintheunitfallingdownandcausingpersonalinjuryand/orpropertydamage.
• Neveruseothermethodsthanspeciedtomountthebracket.
 Extremeforceisappliedtotheunitandtheunitcouldfalloff,possiblyresultinginpersonalinjuries.
• Attachthesafetywiretotheunit.Ifnotattached,theunitcouldfalloff,resultinginpersonalinjury.
• Toavoidelectricshocks,besuretoswitchofftheamplier’spowerwhenconnectingspeakers.
• Donotoperatetheunitforanextendedperiodoftimewiththesounddistorting.Thisisanindicationofamalfunction,whichin
turncancauseheattogenerateandresultinare.
• Donothangdownfromtheunitasthismaycauseittofalldownordrop,resultinginpersonalinjuryand/orpropertydamage.
• Avoidtouchingtheunit’ssharpmetaledge,andthecutendsofthehangingandsafetywirestopreventinjury.
• Firmlyholdthespeakerbodywhenusingthereleasekey.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ThePE-304BU,PE-304WU,PE-604BU,andPE-604WUarependantspeakersdesignedfortheinstallationssuspendedfromaceiling.
Adirectly-attached5m(16.4ft)hangingwireallowsthespeakertobesuspendedfromhighceilings.
These speakers can be driven on both high-impedance (100 V, 70 V and 25 V) and low-impedance (8 Ω) lines. The input power
(impedance)canbeeasilychangedattherearsideofthespeaker.
ThesespeakersarecertiedtoUL1480UUMWandULC-S541standards.Usingthesupplied ®hangerswillfacilitatethe
speakermountingheightadjustment.
®isaregisteredtrademarkofGrippleLimited,England.

4. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Note
Localcodesmayrequireotherinstallationmethods.Checkwith
authority having jurisdiction to determine acceptability of the
mountingmethodsshownhere.
Step 1. ConrmthatGRIPPLE®No.1(smallone)isinstalledon
asafetywire(thinone)andGRIPLLE®No.2(bigone)on
ahangingwire(thickone).
Step 2. Passthehangingwireovertheceilinganchorpointsuch
asbeamorpurlin,thenpassitthroughtheotherholein
theGRIPPLE®No.2.
Step 3. Adjust the length of the hanging wire for the optimum
speakermountingheight.
Step 4. Installthesafetywirefollowingthesameprocedureas
inSteps2and3.Besuretopassthesafetywireovera
differentceilinganchorpointfromtheonethehanging
wirewaspassedoverinStep2.

Followtheinstructionsbelow.
Doing otherwise may cause the speaker fall, resulting in
personalinjury.
• Neverhangthespeakerwiththesafetywire.
• The surplus length of the safety wire must be within
30 cm (11.81") from the state that the safety wire is
tight.
• Install the hanging wire rst, then the safety wire.
(Neverreversethisorder.)
CAUTION
3. INPUT POWER (IMPEDANCE) CHANGE
Turntherotaryswitch(ontherearsideofthespeaker)tosetitto
thedesiredinputimpedanceusingaslottedscrewdriver.
Note: Settherotaryswitchwithoutremovingthehangingbracket.
• Switch off the amplier’s power when changing the
inputpower.
• Neversettherotaryswitchtothe"170Ω"(PE-304BU,
PE-304WU)or"83Ω"(PE-604BU,PE-604WU)position
whenoperatingthespeakeron100Vline.
 Failuretofollowthisinstructioncouldresultindamage
tothespeakeroramplier.
• Never set this switch to the "8 Ω" position when
connectingtotheamplier’shigh-impedancespeaker
line(25V,70Vor100V),asdoingsomaydamagethe
speakeroramplier.
 Besuretosetthisswitchtothe“8Ω” positionwhen
connectingtotheamplier’slow-impedanceline.
