INTRODUCTION
The AMBIENCE loudspeakers series feature a unique design with a
high quality finishing and a superior sound performance.
AMBIENCE is the ideal series to provide an exquisite and powerful
sound to a wide range of movable and fixed installation applications
such as on fashion shops or retail stores, luxurious KTVs, high-end
bars and clubs, auditoriums, theaters or even home cinemas.
The AMBIENCE series includes three loudspeaker models, the
COL4.3/COL4.3B, COL8.3/COL8.3B and COL16.3COL16.3B
columns and the SUB210S/SUB210SB subwoofer. B means black
l
The COL4.3, COL8.3 and 16.3 columns are composed of four, eight
and sixteen 3” full range neodymium drivers respectively. One of the
major benefits of the COL speakers is the narrow vertical angle of its
sound beam. This feature is very helpful to reduce undesired ceiling
reflections and have a better distribution of the sound pressure.
Additionally, the vertical aperture angle of its sound beam can be
adjusted to precisely focus it onthe audience. The COL speakers
provide a crystal clear and free of distortion mid and high
frequencies particularly appropriate for vocals sound reproduction.
The SUB210S is composed of two 10” drivers and comes in a small
cabinet form factor. It features asymmetrical position of the drivers
and reflex ports placed on the bottom side of the cabinet. This
innovative design cancels any cabinet vibration and
distortion,translating to an exceptionally clean, deep, natural and
punchy bass.
All AMBIENCE loudspeaker cabinets are made of 18mm MDF to
improve its sound performance by making its structure very rigid

The COL speakers can cover a big audience area with small variations
in SPL by installing them with the appropriate height and tilt angle.
The example diagrams below comparea COL with a standard point-
source speaker in terms of SPL coverage on a certain listening plane.
On the 3.5m to 15m distance range the SPL of the COL goes from
107dB to 101dB whereas the SPL of the point-source speaker goes
from 113dB to 101dB. This means a variation of only 6dB for the COL
but of 12dB for the point-source speaker.
When adjusting the height and tilt angle of the COL speakers to get a
high and smooth SPL coverage over a certain area must consider the
sound is emitted from the center of the column, not along its front side.
COL4.3 AND COL8.3 PLACEMENT

SUB210S PLACEMENT
The SUB210S has an innovative
design with its drivers symmetrically
positioned in opposite sides of the
cabinet and the bass reflex ports
located at the bottom of the cabinet.
Due to this particular design of the
SUB210S special requirements must
be taken into account when choosing
a location for it.
If it's intended to place the SUB210S
with any of the sides containing a
driver facing a wall, a minimum
clearance of 30cm must be allowed
from that cabinet side to the wall. It's
as well acceptable to place the
SUB210S with any of its edges very
close to a wall as long as the cabinet
side and the wall form a 45 angle. In
any case free air circulation must be
allowed through the lower openings
of the cabinet as the bass reflex ports
are located on its bottom surface.

4.1. Suspension Cables
To install the COL speakers with suspension
cables, replace the two flat head M6 screws
located on the top and back sides of the
speaker with M6 eye bolts. Adjust the tilt
angle by modifying the suspension cables
length. The suspension cables and M6 eye
bolts are not supplied.
4 2 W Bracket. . all
The Wall Bracket is available as an optional
accessory for the COL speakers and allows for a
two axis adjustment of the sound beam direction.
To install the Wall Bracket remove the four flat
head screws from the back of the COL speaker
and mount on it the cabinet section of the bracket
using the screws supplied with it. Attach the wall
section of the bracket with the appropriate
hardware (not included with the bracket). Mount
the cabinet section of the bracket onto its wall
section, adjust the swivel angle and lock it with
the supplied M6 locking screw and washer.
Release the tilt locking pin,adjust the tilt angle
and lock it again by inserting the locking pin in
the appropriate openings.
The maximum allowed length of the
eye bolts thread is 20mm for the
COL4.3 and 40mm for the COL8.3.
Longer screws can damage internal
parts of the speaker.

4. 3. Swivel Bracket
The Swivel Bracket is available as an optional accessory
for the COL speakers and allows for a single axis (pan)
adjustment of the sound beam direction. The Swivel
Bracket is optimal for those fixed installations not
requiring adjustment of the tilt angle.
To install the Swivel Bracket attach it to the wall
with the appropriate hardware (not included with
the bracket). Remove the two flat head M6 screws
located on top and bottom sides of the column.
Mount the column on the bracket, place the
supplied rubber discs between column and bracket,
and secure it with the supplied screws and washers.
When using the or the Swivel Bracket is
recommended to install a safety cable by attaching it to any
available M6 insert point.

4. 4 Pole Mount
The 35mm Pole Mount is supplied with
the COL speakers.
To install the Pole Mount, remove the two
flat head M4 screws located at the
bottom side of the COL speaker and
attach the Pole Mount to the speaker with
the supplied screws and washers.

For an optimum sound performance of the COL speakers its cabinet
must be completely sealed during operation. Make sure all threaded
insert points have a screw into it in order to avoid any air leakage.

The AMBIENCE loudspeakers use a high current Euroblock connector for
the signal input.
When wiring an AMBIENCE loudspeaker to a power amplifier use a
cable with the appropriate gauge for its length. As a general rule use a
2x2.5mm2 cable for lengths up to 10m and a 2x4mm2 cable for longer
lengths.
Make sure the positive and negative poles of the power amplifier signal
output connector are respectively connected to the positive and negative
poles of the AMBIENCE loudspeaker signal input connector.
The signal input connector of the AMBIENCE loudspeakers feature
two locking screws to avoid accidentally unplugging it.
