GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for having chosen a PROEL product.
The WEDGE Series PROEL has set a standard for aordable and road-proof stage monitors, able to oer a highly
valuable monitoring soluon, with perfect sound intelligibility and high SPL in low-prole and portable enclosures. The
Version 2 of this very successful series represents a major step forward, with several design’s renements and feature’s
improvements.
The lightweight CLASS D amplier modules with SMPS have been completely re-designed, to provide the utmost
reliability even when the system is stressed at the highest sound pressure levels. Coupled to a sophiscated analog
processing, they provide an extremely detailed response, parcularly in the vocal range, and a remarkable resistance to
feedback. Two tailored EQ PRESETS are available for the use of the speaker not only for stage monitoring (MONITOR),
but also as a MAIN SOUND SYSTEM (FOH).
The stylish design of the cabinets, with integrated handles, recessed connecon panel and pole socket, has been
opmized reducing further the prole and, therefore, the footprint on the stage. Knowing very well the mistreatment
the stage monitors are usually subjected to, we have greatly improved the strength of the cabinet's polyurethane
painng, making them resistant to any abuse.
Also the custom designed coaxial transducers, able to provide a perfect HF and LF alignment and a controlled direcvity
for a perfect listening from any posion, have been updated, especially the 10” that features now a compression driver
with increased eciency.
The V2 WEDGE monitors are available in three models, oering the perfect soluon for any monitoring situaons. The
ultra-compact WD10AV2 is able to oer a high-performance monitoring also on small stages and it ‘s the ideal soluon
for speech, vocals and keyboards. WD12AV2, with its high SPL and its full-range response, is the favorite choice for
vocals, guitar, horns and electronic instruments or as a high-power monitor for DJs. WD15AV2, with its full extension and
powerful and deep response at the low frequencies, is the ideal monitor for bass and drums players. The horn-loaded
HF secon and the powerful amplier make it the perfect soluon for monitoring also on very large stages.
INPUT AND CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS (FIG. 1 / 2 / 3)
1. LINE IN (combo XLR-JACK input)
This is a female combo connector, which accepts a XLR or a JACK plug from almost any line level equipment with a
balanced or unbalanced outputs. The XLR input is wired as follows:
Pin 1 = shield or ground
Pin 2 = + posive or "hot"
Pin 3 = - negave or "cold"
The JACK input is wired as follows:
Tip = + posive or "hot"
Ring = - negave or "cold"
Sleeve = shield or ground
When connecng an unbalanced signal, wire them as follows:
Pin2 / Tip = + posive or "hot"
Pin 1-3 / Sleeve = shield or ground
NOTE: whenever possible, use always balanced cables. Unbalanced lines may also be used but may result in noise over
long cable runs. In any case, avoid using a balanced cable for one channel and an unbalanced one for the other.
2. LINK (XLR output)
This is a male XLR connector, it is connected in parallel with the respecve LINE IN input, so the LINK is wired as LINE IN
input. Connect these to the inputs of other powered speakers to make an array.
3. GND LIFT switch
This switch lis the ground of the balanced audio input from the earth-ground of the amplier. If you have HUM noise
problems on one or more loudspeakers try to change the posion of these switches (oen all up or all down for all the
ampliers in the system). Please note that to have an eect all cables must be balanced.
4. LEVEL control
Rotary level control: it aenuates the level of the signal sent to the LINE input. The aenuaon ranges from “0” fully
closed (the signal is completely aenuated) to “10” fully open, nominal level (the signal is not aenuated in any way,
so it is fed to the internal amplier at the same level at which it arrives on input).
5. SIGN / LIMIT indicator
GREEN LED illuminates to indicate the presence of the signal at the amplier input.
