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 specied 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:
■Transport and rain cover for Paveosub-218 (Art.-Nr. 502181000)
■Detachable wheelboard for Paveosub-218 (Art.-Nr. 502184000)
■Dolly for transport up to 3 x Paveosub-218 (Art.-Nr. 502187000)
■Steering Roller set for Paveosub-218 (Art.-Nr. 999490985)
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, M20 anges, lashing rings, rubber
feet and the SpeakON®connectors.

Connections
The loudspeaker has four loop-through Neutrik NL4 SpeakON®IN/OUT connectors. They use the 2+/2- connec-
tion pins. Additional loudspeakers can be looped through via the second connector. In addition to the rear
connector panel, two front SpeakON®connectors are available in the front grille.
The conguration of the front SpeakON®connectors can be changed from standard 2+/2- to 1+/1- on a board
behind the front grille, so that cardioid bass arrays can easily be looped through with a 4-pole cable.

Introduction
Setup
The Paveosub-218 is designed for stationary operation. Ensure that the subwoofer is in a secure position to
prevent personal injury and property damage.
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 signicant 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 amplier. Note that parallel connection reduces the total impedance (Ω) seen by the amplier. The total
impedance of loudspeakers connected in parallel must not drop below the minimum operating impedance of the
amplier.
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 suciently dimensioned according to impedance, power and cable length.

Operation
The Paveosub-218 is designed exclusively for use with Voice-Acoustic system electronics with internal DSP cont-
roller: The HDSP ampliers or powered by the free 2.400 W amplier channels of the self-powered subwoofers.
Make sure the appropriate preset has been selected before connecting the speaker to the system power amp or
self-powered subwoofer.
Using the wrong preset can damage parts of the loudspeaker.
Note: If the Paveosub-218 is not operated on the intended Voice-Acoustic system electronics, the manufac-
turer‘s warranty for the loudspeaker expires!

Mounting and dismounting the wheelboard
For easy transport of the subwoofer and protection of the front gril-
le, use the detachable wheelboard.
1. Place the wheelboard with the buttery locks (A) on the butter-
y holders (B) on the frontside.
2. Turn the two buttery locks right until they are clicked into
place.
3. Now the subwoofer can be placed on the wheels for transport.
1.
Note: The wheelboard must not be mounted during operation, as
the bass reex port is closed and the chassis may be damaged!
To remove the wheelboard, tilt the subwoofer onto the four
rubber feet.
2. Turn the two buttery locks left until the wheelboard can be
removed.
Note: The wheelboard has stacking troughs (C), so that several
wheelboards can be stacked on top of each other!
Mounting the castor set
As an alternative to the skateboard, a set of castors can also be
permanently mounted on the rear wall.
1. Remove the four M6 x 30 mm countersunk screws at each of
the four corners from the rear panel.
2. Then use the countersunk screws to mount the four castors on
the rear panel of the subwoofer (E).
Standing operation
The Paveosub-218 can also be operated upright thanks to four addi-
tional rubber feet and stacking trays on the side walls.
A second M20 ange allows the use of spacer rods.
