Operation manual T30i
Introduction
The T30i is a full range installation loudspeaker equipped with two 15” long excursion chas-
sis for the low-mid range and a 1.4” compression driver placed in between for the mid-high
range.
The user has the possibility of covering the entire frequency range with just one loudspea-
ker: Whether in multi-purpose venues, sports halls, churches, theatres or clubs as a power
DJ monitor, wherever it is not possible or necessary to place an additional subwoofer but the
importance is a natural, punchy, clear musical reproduction and outstanding speech intelligi-
bility, that‘s where the T30i finds its place.
The mid-high range is reproduced from 700Hz with a newly developed compression driver
which is coupled to a large-scale 90° × 50° constant directivity horn. This results in a precise
and dynamic voice and musical reproduction at already low volume.
As the T30i is compatible with all TW AUDiO subwoofers, those can also be used for more
sub bass.

1. Safety | Intended use
The T30i loudspeaker was developed for use in professional sound systems. The loudspea-
ker may only be used by trained and qualified personnel.
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
NOTE
NOTE
Please adhere to the following safety instructions to avoid risks when operating loudspeakers.
Note the operating modes described in this operating manual. Other uses are not permis-
sible.
Damage caused by improper use is not covered by TWAMBO.
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.
When working with heavy loads exceeding 20 kg (44 lbs.), use suitable aids (dollies, hoisting
slings, etc.). Multiple persons may be required depending on the situation.
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.
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.
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.

WARNING
NOTE
NOTE
Ensure that the loudspeaker is not exposed to permanent thermal overloads. Thermal over-
loads may cause a fire and result in serious personal injury and property damage.
Note that TWAMBO does not provide a warranty for damage that can be attributed to this type
of overload and therefore cannot be held liable for any secondary damage.
A permanent magnetic field is present in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers. Ensure that
objects which react sensitively to magnetic fields are not located in the immediate vicinity of
the loudspeaker. In particular, this applies to magnetic storage media, magnetic stripe cards
such as debit cards and CRT displays. A distance of approximately one meter is sufficient to
avoid damage.
Check loudspeakers and accessory parts regularly for visible wear. This is essential to ensure
continuing fault-free operation. Worn parts should be replaced immediately. Spare parts are
available from TWAUDiO.

4.2 M10 threaded inserts
Before fitting the accessories follow the subsequent steps:
4. For the T30i loudspeaker M10 threaded inserts, various TWAUDiO accessories can be
mounted. For each product refer to the instructions. (If you have further questions, please
contact TW AUDiO Support.)
5. Note that the load capacity is limited to a single speaker.
3. Please note that once the countersunk screws are removed, water and moisture may
enter into the enclosure.
1. To remove the countersunk screws remove the texture paint by using a cutter knife. Avoid
damaging the surrounding paint to prevent chipping.
2. Remove for your application required countersunk screws. Use a hexalobular key with the
size of TX50.
NOTE
WARNING
Make sure that all system structures are located on a firm, level surface and that the surface
can bear the total weight!
Make sure the speakers are securely fastened to prevent personal injury and property damage.
Secure stacked loudspeakers properly so that they can be tipped by 10° in any direction
without toppling.
TW AUDiO recommends using only the accessories specified by TWAUDiO for securing and
mounting loudspeakers.

The T30i loudspeaker is equipped as standard with the i-series screw terminal.
NOTE
NOTE
4.3 Rotating the HF horn
With the factory default orientation of the T30i loudspeaker horn, the horizontal coverage is
90° and the vertical coverage is 50°. In some situations, it may be advantageous to change
the high frequency dispersion pattern. To adjust the dispersion pattern, the T30i loudspeaker’s
HF horn can be rotated. Proceed as follows:
1. Place the T30i loudspeaker on its back, with the speaker grill facing up. Make sure to place
the speaker on a clean, non-slippery surface.
2. To remove the front grill, a hexalobular key with the size of TX25 is required. Remove all
front grill mounting screws from the side of the loudspeaker (10 pieces). Lift the front grill
of the loudspeaker away. Secure the speaker against lifting and slipping if necessary with
a second person.
3. Loosen the twelve screws on the horn using a hexalobular key with the size of TX30. Pull
the horn with the compression driver up and out of the speaker cabinet.
4. Check the seal between housing and horn for correct fit.
5. Carefully turn the horn by 90° and re-insert the horn with the driver back into the recess.
Screw it to the housing and apply medium-strength thread-locking fluid.
6. Attach the grill using the screws provided.
As options there can be mounted a panel with cable gland (CG-option) or a panel with two
built-in speakON® jacks (SO-option).
Furthermore, a blind cover option is available.
All connection options are only available in black colour.
More information about the different connection options can be found in the respective opera-
ting instructions in the download area on the homepage of TWAMBO.
