Introduction
Thank you for choosing a high-quality product “MADEINGERMANY” from TW AUDiO.
ELLA is ground-breaking, a world first achievement at this size. ELLA combines the slim
form factor of a column with the flexibility of a line array as well as built in passive cardioid
technology.
Behind its well designed front panel ELLA6 offers a newly developed feature - a specially
engineered waveguide with five 1“ dome tweeters which reproduce silky smooth and precise
high frequencies up to 20kHz, matched with a custom designed high performance 6.5“ dri-
ver. A new outstandingly acoustical listening experience ensuring astonishment among the
audience, without compromise, even at high SPL.
Another unique feature of ELLA is the built in passive cardioid system. Due to the special
acoustical resistors at the back of the enclosure, ELLA has a cardioid directivity pattern over
the entire frequency range. ELLA6 has a nominal impedance of 24 Ohms – so it is possible
to connect multiple speakers in parallel, there is no additional amp channel required for the
cardioid effect.
There is one more key feature to be mentioned - the optically refined, almost invisible inte-
grated rigging hardware, which can easily transform a multi-element column into a true line
array. There are no pins or striking company logos on the front grille to disturb the timelessly
simple appearance. Assembly is quite simply clever, fast and cost-effective. With a simple
mechanism, the elements can be connected and the six splay angles adjusted.
Regarding ELLA‘s flexibility: The well thought-out accessories support you in all your different
sound applications. Whether stacked on the design pillar for a conference or in a choir situa-
tion in a church, on a VERA S32 cardio sub for a gala or flown as an array for the concert in
the local town hall.
ELLA ensures you are successful and efficient at countless events: As a discreet main PA at
shareholder meetings or corporate events and galas, as a permanent installation in theatres,
in a stylish industrial venue or a luminous baroque hall, as a touring system, as a front fill, as
an under-balcony loudspeaker, as a sidefill PA or as a sophisticated monitor for the discer-
ning DJ.

1. Safety | Intended use
Please adhere to the following safety instructions to avoid risks when operating loudspeakers.
The ELLA6 loudspeaker was developed for use in professional sound systems. The loudspe-
aker may only be used by trained and qualified personnel.
Note the operating modes described in this operating manual. Other uses are not permis-
sible.
Damage caused by improper use is not covered by TW AUDiO.
Loudspeakers generate an electromagnetic field. Persons with pacemakers are not permit-
ted to remain in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers as the electromagnetic fields can
cause pacemakers to malfunction.
Ensure that the units are in a stable position and are firmly attached. A falling loudspeaker can
result in serious personal injury and property damage.
When using and assembling TW AUDiO loudspeakers, only use materials specified by
TW AUDiO. These tasks must be performed by qualified personnel. Adhere to the applicable
safety regulations.
WARNING
When setting up loudspeakers, ensure that they are not exposed to the following ambient
conditions:
• Direct sunlight
• Humidity
• Jolting
• Dust
Keep away from the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers that are operated at high sound pres-
sure levels. These loudspeaker systems are capable of endangering your health. Sound levels
beginning as low as approximately 90dBSPL can lead to long-term hearing impairment.
WARNING
Avoid:
• Feedback
• Distorted signals (clipping) and
• Peaks resulting from switching on devices, plugging in devices or unplugging devices during
operation.
Such signals can lead to loudspeaker overload and ultimately to loudspeaker failure.
