General Safety Instructions:
Loudspeakers produce a static magnetic eld even if they are not connected or are not in use. Therefore make
sure when erecting and transporting loudspeakers that they are nowhere near equipment and objects which
may be impaired or damaged by an external magnetic eld. Persons with cardiac pacemakers must maintain a
safe distance.
The minimum recommended safety clearance is 1 m.
Never stand in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers driven at a high level. Professional loudspeaker systems
are capable of causing a sound pressure level detrimental to human health. Seemingly non-critical sound levels
(from approx. 90 dB SPL) can cause hearing damage if people are exposed to it over a long period.
All connected cables must be laid in such a way that they cannot be crushed by objects and that nobody can
step on them! Replace damaged cables immediately and do not use them!
Use only accessory parts specied by Voice-Acoustic or original accessory parts from Voice-Acoustic. Check all
cabinets and accessories regularly for wear and replace them if necessary.
Do not set up the loudspeakers in places where they are permanently exposed to moisture, dust, dirt or direct
sunlight.
Care
Wipe the surface of loudspeakers only with a damp cloth and pure water. In case of heavy pollution, repeat the
above procedure several times if necessary. Do not use any chemical additives or aggressive detergents, as
these may harm and damage the surfaces.
Transport and storage
When transporting and storing the unit, it is important to ensure that the surface and front grill of the loudspe-
aker are not damaged. Moisture can penetrate through exposed wood surfaces and cause the wood to swell.
A bent or broken front grill will no longer adequately protect the sensitive speaker membranes. In addition,
appreciable dust deposits may considerably impair the functionality of a loudspeaker membrane. For this rea-
son, the loudspeakers should be transported and stored in a safe, careful, dry and largely dust-free manner.
The following accessory parts for transport and storage are available from Voice-Acoustic:
■Carrying bag for up to 2 x Score-5 (Art.-Nr. 505002000)
■Heavy duty ightcase for up to 4 x Score-5 (Art.-Nr. 505003000)
Note: The original packaging is unsuitable as permanent storage and transport packaging!
Warranty
The warranty period is 24 months from date of delivery.
On our choice we will eliminate any lack of conformity with repair or with replacement of the faulty goods. The
place of performance for warranty services is Voice-Acoustic headquarters in Dörverden. In case of remedy of
defects, the buyer shall bear all costs resulting from transportation of the goods to Voice-Acoustic headquarters
in Dörverden.
The ordering party is not entitled to remedy the defect by itself or to organise a replacement and to charge
such activities to Voice-Acoustic. In case of self remedy by the ordering party the warranty given by Voice-
Acoustic becomes void.
Warranty doesn’t apply to parts of wear and tear, such as threaded points, Camlock connectors and
the SpeakON®connectors.

Introduction
Setup
The Score-5 loudspeaker is designed for standing, vertical and horizontal operation. A variety of accessories
is available from Voice-Acoustic to securely attach the loudspeaker safely on tripods, distance rods or hanging
it from on trusses, ceilings and walls. Ensure that the loudspeakers are securely attached to prevent personal
injury and damage of property.
Connecting cables
When connecting the cables to the loudspeaker, ensure that the polarity (+/-) and pin assignment (1/2) is
correct. Incorrect connection results in a signicant change in the loudspeaker sound characteristics and may
damage the compression driver.
The two connection sockets on the back of the loudspeaker can be used to link multiple loudspeakers on a
single amplier. Note that parallel connection reduces the total impedance (Ω) seen by the amplier. The total
impedance of loudspeakers connected in parallel must not drop below the minimum operating impedance of the
amplier.
Voice-Acoustic recommends to use the available 4 x 4 mm² Speakon cables for mobile use.
We recommend wiring the basses with at least 4 mm² in installations. The cables of the tops in installations
must be suciently dimensioned according to impedance, power and cable length.

Operation
The Score-5 is intended (not exclusively) for operation with Voice-Acoustic system electronics with internal DSP
controller: the HDSP power ampliers or powered by the free 800 W amplier channels of the self-powered sub-
woofers.
When working with the Voice-Acoustic system electronics, make sure the appropriate preset has been selected
before connecting the loudspeaker to the system power amplier or self-powered subwoofer. Using the wrong
preset can damage parts of the loudspeaker.

Page 8 of 13Manual Score-5 - 2018-07 EN
Adaptation to amplier electronics of other manufacturers
Because of its internal passive linearization of the frequency response, the Score-5 can also be operated on any
other amplier electronics. To protect the 5“ drivers at higher volumes from too much excursion by low fre-
quencies, it is necessary to set a lower crossover frequency: High-Pass lter: 65 Hz, Characteristic: Butterworth
24 dB/Okt. In addition, the sound image can be minimally improved by a Bell lter: Center frequency 2.36 kHz,
Quality 6.0 and Gain: -2.00 dB.
Type Freq Q Gain
Bell 2.36 kHz 6.0 -2.00
HPF 65 Hz Butterworth 24 dB/Okt
HPF 114 Hz Butterworth 24 dB/Okt
For an optimal sound result when operating with a subwoofer, the lower cut-o frequency must be adapted to
the Score-5 accordingly (e.g. HPF 114 Hz) or, with overlapping frequency ranges, the phase position must be
metrologically adjusted to each other.
If the Score-5 is used for music transmission without bass support, the lower frequencies can be slightly increa-
sed by means of a Low-Shelf lter: Center frequency 155 Hz, Quality 14.1 and Gain: 3.00 dB. When operating
the Score-5 as a stage monitor, the Low-Shelf lter is not recommended, because the low frequencies gain
energy through the ground coupling.
Type Freq Q Gain
Low Shelf 155 Hz 14.1 3.00
Bell 2.36 kHz 6.0 -2.00
HPF 65 Hz Butterworth 24 dB/Okt
Note: Overdriven signals must be avoided throughout the entire transmission chain. They generate consider-
able thermal and mechanical stresses that can destroy loudspeakers. This is especially true when loudspe-
akers are powered by ampliers that can deliver less than twice the AES power of the loudspeaker. Only
professional power ampliers with clip limiters should be used for safe operation.

Mounting the L-bracket
1. To hold the L-bracket in a desired position, select one of the
xing points (1) to (3).
2. Insert the L-bracket with the camlock connector (A) into the
holding cam (B) and turn it around until it engages.
Note: The Camlock connector must be turned and locked correct-
ly to prevent the loudspeaker from falling o!
Fixing points:
(1) L-bracket bottom, Score-5 in tripod mode
(2) L-bracket sideward, Score-5 in horizontal operation
(3) L-bracket top, Score-5 in ight operations
Adjust the tilt
Mount the truss clamp to the L-bracket in such a way that the wing
nut (C) does not hinder tilting.
1. Secure the loudspeaker against tipping by hand.
2. Slightly unscrew the wing nut (C) on the clamp.
3. Adjust the tilt.
4. Tighten the wing nut (C) again to x it.
Note: The wing nut of the clamp must always be tightened,
otherwise there is a risk that it will come loose due to vibrations
and the loudspeaker could tilt uncontrollably!
Flight operation with L-bracket on truss
Without truss clamp adapter, the L-bracket with its clamp can be
used on all common truss with 48 - 51 mm belt tubes. The three
xing points are also used here.
Fixing points:
(1) Connection panel at the top (cables are routed upwards)
(2) L-bracket sideward, Score-5 in horizontal operation
(3) Connection panel at the bottom (cables are routed downwards)
1.
Note: If you use the xing point (3) for ight operation, you
must rst insert the single-stud tting into the intended securing
point. Since then the L-bracket sits in front of it!
Hang the loudspeaker and L-bracket with clamp into the truss.
2. Adjusting the tilt.
3. Tighten the wing nut (C) again to x it.
Note: If speakers are suspended with detachable connections,
they require a second, independent, non-combustible connection
(secondary fuse), usually an appropriately dimensioned steel sa-
fety rope. Please observe the currently applicable standards and
regulations.
