W18As bi-amped, active loudspeaker system instruction manual
W18As bi-amped, active loudspeaker system The lighting flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated 'dangerous voltage' within the product's enclosure, that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to humans. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions.
bi-amped, active loudspeaker system W18As Introduction The trapezoidal enclosure design is based on solid technical reasons: • directivity remains constant and controlled, even when two or more enclosures are installed side by side. • the problems related to interferences and irregularities in frequency response and directivity, typically encountered when using multiple enclosures, are thus dramatically reduced. Multiple enclosures arrays can be assembled for wide dispersion and/or long throw.
W18As bi-amped, active loudspeaker system Control and connection panel 1 6 The W18As speaker system is equipped with XLR male (OUT) and female (IN) parallel connected sockets allowing easier daisy-chaining. Mixer output W18As input ('IN' socket) W18As output ('OUT' socket) input ('IN' socket) of the W18As to be connected in parallel. See 'connectors' and 'connection examples' at pages 9 and 10. 2 Main volume (VOL).
bi-amped, active loudspeaker system W18As Important ! Product care and maintenance • This product has been designed for use in tropical climates and particularly warm weather conditions. If the mixer has JACK balanced outputs (stereo jacks): it is possible to use stereo jack-XLR adapters, wired according to IEC 268: pin 1 = ground (sleeve), pin 2 = tip, pin 3 = ring. • Never place burning candles or other sources of open flame on top of the device.
