INTRODUCTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION Thank you for purchasing a NEXT Audiocom Pro Series speaker. This user manual will provide you with useful and important information about your equipment. Please devote some time reading it and keep it at hand for future reference. The NEXT Audiocom Pro Series is composed by both active and passive point-source speakers designed for installations and portable solutions. The premium-quality components provide a balanced sound with an excellent low frequency extension.
GETTING STARTED PRO SERIES OVERVIEW BLUETOOTH 12" MULTI-PURPOSE ACTIVE SPEAKER CONNECTIONS PASSIVE VERSION The NEXT Audiocom Pro Series speakers, in the passive version, have a nominal impedance of 8Ω. Use a Neutrik NL4 to connect the amplifier to the speaker. On the speaker side connect the wires to 1+/1-. To avoid speaker damage, be sure to deliver not more than 500W to Pro12 and 700W to Pro15.
GETTING STARTED ACTIVE VERSION PRESETS You can connect any instrument, microphone, CD Player or audio mixer to the active Pro Series input. The Pro speakers can be connected between each other using the “Mix Out” connector. An active external subwoofer can be added to extend the system frequency response. PRESET LIST FLAT - Speaker’s Flat Response - use this preset in live performances for clarity of voice and instruments.
HANDS-ON INSTALLATION GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS The NEXT Audiocom Pro Series speakers are ready to be installed in a variety of different environments and applications. Each speaker can be hanged using 12 different hanging points, U-bracket (not included), wall bracket (not included and only available on Pro12 passive version) and ceiling bracket (not included and only available on Pro12). Remember to rotate the HF horn when installing the Pro Series horizontally (see the instructions on page 6).
HANDS-ON WALL BRACKET INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS A two-axis wall bracket can be used on the Pro12 passive speaker. The adjustment angle span will vary according to the selected pan and tilt angles. The maximum tilt angle is -30º. Adjust the pan and tilt angles and fully tighten the indicated bolts on the image. Disassemble the wall bracket into the two main parts. Mount the bracket part at a designated location on the wall or ceiling. The screws are inserted into the holes provided on the bracket.
SERVICE TROUBLESHOOTING PASSIVE VERSION Problem: No sound coming from the speaker Action to Solution: - Check volume levels on the amplifier and signal sources and the connections between them. If your amplifier has signal detection or measuring visuals, test if it is reacting to the signal source. If everything seems to be ok, connect another speaker known to be working to the amplifier. If it works, the wiring to the Pro Speaker may have problems.
