DANGER TO LIFE!
A crashing speaker system can cause deadly accidents. All safety instructions given in this manual must be observed.
Please note that speaker systems could move due to bass-beats and vibrations. Furthermore, unintended pushes from DJs, musicians or the audience present further risk. This is why the speaker system must always be secured against moving or the respective area has to be blocked.
Before the speaker system is switched on all faders and volume controls have to be set to zero or minimum position.
CAUTION: Turn the amplifier on last and off first!
HEALTH HAZARD!
By operating speaker systems with an amplifier, you can produce excessive sound pressure levels that may lead to permanent hearing loss.
Keep away children and amateurs!
There are no serviceable parts inside the speaker system. Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.
OPERATING DETERMINATIONS
This speaker system is a passive system which can be used for permanent or mobile installations. This product is only allowed to be connected with an appropriate power amplifier and was designed for indoor use only.
The maximum power of the speaker system must never be exceeded. When operating the speaker system, please make sure that the loudspeakers always sound well. When distortions can be heard, either the amplifier or the loudspeaker is overloaded. Overloads can quickly lead to amplifier or speaker damage. In order to avoid damage, please reduce the volume immediately when distortions can be heard. When speaker systems are destroyed by overload, the guarantee becomes void.
By operating speaker systems with an amplifier, you can produce excessive sound pressure levels that may lead to permanent hearing loss.
WARNING!
Speaker systems must only be operated by trained persons.
Danger of Life due to crashing speaker systems or hearing loss due to excessive sound pressure levels! The different local conditions have to be considered in terms of safety rules.
When using smoke machines, make sure that the speaker system is never exposed to the direct smoke jet and is installed in a distance of 0.5 meters between smoke machine and speaker system.
The ambient temperature must always be between -5^ C and +45^ C. Keep away from direct insulation (particularly in cars) and heaters.
This speaker system must only be installed at a solid, plane, anti-slip, vibration-free, oscillation-free and fire-resistant location.
Please note: when using this speaker system in public or industrial areas, a series of safety instructions have to be followed that this manual can only give in part. The operator must therefore inform himself on the current safety instructions and consider them.
Before installing the system, make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 5 times the system's load (e.g. weight 20 kg - point load 100 kg).
English
The speaker system must never be installed higher than 100 cm without secondary attachment.
DANGER!
This speaker system must never be installed on a wall-mounting because the secondary attachment cannot be fixed.
Speaker systems may only be installed on top of other speaker systems if the systems are protected against slipping and flipping over (e.g. via appropriate clamping belts).
DANGER!
This speaker system must only be suspended by experienced and trained persons - Danger to Life due to crashing speaker systems!
If the original speaker system is equipped with an appropriate flange:
This speaker system can be installed on top of a subwoofer (satellite system), on a speaker stand, an appropriate stand or an appropriate wall-mounting. The carrying capacity of the distance-tube, the speaker stand, the stand or the wall-mounting must never be exceeded.
The satellite system must always provide enough stability. The subwoofer's base surface must always be sufficiently dimensioned in relation to the top speaker in order to prevent tilting over.
Operate the speaker system only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not qualified for operating the speaker system. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!
Speaker systems must never be transported with cranes.
Never stack heavy objects on this speaker system. Persons must never climb onto this speaker system.
Never use solvents or aggressive detergents in order to clean the speaker system! Rather use a soft and damp cloth.
Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the speaker system are forbidden due to safety reasons!
If this speaker system will be operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product may suffer damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to dangers like crashes, hearing loss etc.
Legal instructions
Operating an amplification system can produce extremely high noise levels that may cause a permanent hearing loss. The legal instructions for using an amplification system vary from country to country. The user must always inform himself on the legal instructions valid in his country and apply them to his situation.
Always monitor the sound pressure level when operating an amplification system in discotheques, concerts etc. Never exceed the permissible noise level exposures as specified by your authorities. The monitoring of the noise levels must be documented in an appropriate way.
In Germany, the following instructions are binding:
Hearing damage caused by high noise levels can be treated as physical injury and persecuted by law.
Please note that the organizer is responsible for keeping to a specified noise level. If this noise level will be exceeded, the event may be cancelled immediately.
English
If the organizer does not fulfil his safety duties, he is reliable by civil law for any damages occurred, e.g.:
Pay the treatment costs of the damaged person.
Pay a smart money to the damaged person.
Economic damage caused can be demanded from the operator of the amplification system.
If hired persons work with amplification systems: the noise levels of music events are almost always too high. This is why the entrepreneur has to set up warning signs and provide hearing protectors. The staff has to use these.
Please note: PSSO cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect installations and excessive noise levels!
Information on hearing loss
More and more young people suffer from hearing loss of 25 decibel or more, mainly caused by loud music from portable MP3 and CD players or discotheques. Everybody operating amplification systems should know to what sound pressure levels he exposes his or the audience's hearing. As an average levels between 75 and 105 dB(A) in the discotheque or 95 and 115 dB(A) at a rock concert are reached. Individual peaks can exceed the pain level at 130 dB(A). Such levels are typical for motor chainsaws or jack hammers.
| Overview on the different noise levels | |
| 10 dB Heartbeat | 80 dB Heavy traffic or telephone ringing |
| 20 - 30 dB Whisper 90 dB Pneumatic drill | |
| 40 dB Average home 100 dB Power mower | |
| 50 dB Light traffic 120 dB Boom box in car | |
| 60 dB Normal conversation 130 dB Pain level | |
| 70 dB Vacuum cleaner 140 dB Jet plane 30 meters overhead | |
It is important to know that doubling the power increases the noise level by 3 dB. The human hearing does only recognize a doubling of the sound level when the noise level is increased by 10 dB. Damaging the hearing does not depend on the sound level but on the noise level and starts way before the pain level.
Many people deceive themselves by thinking that noise is something they can get accustomed to. It is possible that a positive opinion of a certain noise can reduce the physiological reaction, but the slow impacts on the inner hearing must not be neglected: over stimulation and continuous elimination of the Cortic organ's hair cells.
The reason why some people have got accustomed to a certain noise level and are no longer disturbed is that they have already suffered a hearing damage. This damage makes the insensitive to those frequencies forming the loudest part of the noise. Getting accustomed to noise does not mean anything other than trying to get along with the hearing loss in everyday life. The hearing loss itself cannot be healed, it can only be compensated by hearing aids.
Subjectively, the hearing loss feels like dampened ears. This effect weakens with the time, but a loss in hearing sensitivity often remains.
In order to relax the hearing sufficiently, the noise level should not exceed 70 dB(A) for 10 hours. Higher noise levels during this relaxing period can prevent the relaxation and promote a permanent hearing damage (Tinitus) or hearing loss.
Therefore: Whoever wants to maintain his hearing should use hearing protectors!
START-UP
This speaker system must only be connected to an appropriate power amplifier. The amplifier power must correspond with the speaker system power. An amplifier with too little power can also destroy a speaker system with a higher power range.
Choosing an appropriate power amplifier
Before starting with the installation, you must clarify how many speaker systems you would like to install in the room.
In order to increase the sound pressure level two speaker system pairs should be connected with the power amplifier. Please note that the impedance is only half the value when you connect two speaker systems with one channel of the power amplifier. Please make sure that the power amplifier is qualified for this operation mode.
When connecting further speaker system pairs (e.g. 3 pairs) to the same power amplifier, the impedance lowers even further. You must always make sure that the power amplifier is qualified for the new impedance. If the impedance of the speaker system is lower than the lowest allowed amplifier impedance, the amplifier and the speaker systems may be damaged.
Furthermore, you must define the operation mode for your system. If the power amplifier is to be used in stereo mode, the power is lower as in e.g. mono bridged mode.
The following descriptions refer to PSSO power amplifiers. You may also use other appropriate power amplifiers.
Example for the calculation number of speakers/impedance
| Number of speakers | Impedance |
| 1 speaker at 8 Ω | 8 Ω |
| 2 speakers at 8 Ω each | 4 Ω (parallel) |
| 2 speakers at 8 Ω each | 16 Ω (in line) |
| 3 speakers at 8 Ω each | 2.66 Ω (parallel), only for amplifiers capable of handling 2 Ω |
| 3 speakers at 8 Ω each | 24 Ω (in line) |
| 4 speakers at 8 Ω each | 2 Ω (parallel), only for amplifiers capable of handling 2 Ω |
Note: The input impedance of the speaker systems should at least be the same or even higher than the output impedance of the amplifier.
Operating modes
The most frequently used operating mode of a power amplifier is stereo operation, where both channels are operated independent of each other. In parallel operation the power amplifier can be operated in mono mode, i.e. via one input channel. The voltage remains the same, the current is doubled. Consequently, the output impedance is limited to the minimum value of one individual channel. In bridge operation the power amplifier can be operated in mono mode, i.e. via one input channel. The voltage is doubled and subsequently also the output impedance. For stereo operation two amplifiers are needed. Always make sure the power amplifier's selector switch for the operating mode is set accordingly. Please also refer to the diagrams at the end of this user manual.
English
Making the connections
Your speaker system is equipped with one 8-pole, one 4-pole and two 2-pole, lockable Speakon sockets. Connect your amprack via the 8-pole socket. Connect the next top via the 4-pole socket. Connect the subwoofers via the 2-pole sockets. For locking a connection turn the plug to the right. For unlocking pull the unlock button and turn the plug to the left and pull it out of the socket.

Information on installing audio cables
- A good cable run improves the sound quality remarkably. Avoid long cable runs.
• Always treat cables carefully and protect them from damages during transportation.
• Install cables always in a structured way and protect them from damage. - Cables must be installed in a way that no person can stumble over them. Always fix cables with an appropriate tape.
- Cables should be installed directly (no loops, S-shaped overlengths).
- Always install cables far away from power cables (never closely parallel).
- Never put heavy objects like speaker systems, flightcases etc. on cables.
- Never operate cables wound up.
INSTALLATION
The speaker system can be set up as desired. The location must be solid, plane, anti-slip, vibration-free, oscillation-free, and fire-resistant. The installation area must hold a minimum point load of 5 times the system's load (e.g. weight 20 kg - point load 100 kg). The speaker system must never be installed higher than 100 cm without secondary attachment.
Information on transport
For transport, the speaker system features two carrying handles. The speaker system should be carried without force by two persons of the same size. Carrying the speaker system as one person alone should be avoided as the high weight and the strain could lead to back damages and torsions. Please note that all speaker systems with more than 25 kg weight must be transported with two persons.
Installing and orienting the speaker system
When installing the speaker system on e.g. a stage, microphones and turntables should always be located behind the speaker systems. In this way, you can avoid dangerous and unpleasant feedbacks. If you cannot install the speaker systems this way, the microphones and turntables should be located as far away as possible from the speaker systems. When using the speaker system as monitor system make sure to avoid feedbacks.
The speaker systems of a PA system are normally located left and right to the stage. Do not install the speaker systems on the stage, but rather on appropriate tables or platforms in front of the stage.
In order to produce a clear sound, the speaker systems should be installed in a way that they throw the sound over the audience's heads. A full-range speaker system should be installed at listeners' eye level. Please refer to the safety instructions under Installation.
Loudspeaker combinations need to be installed bass-middle-high (from bottom to top). Make sure that the membranes of all speakers are in one line vertically and horizontally. Only in this way all frequency ranges are produced at the same time and without any time or phase delays.
Always install the speaker systems in a way that a minimum distance of three meters to the audience is kept. This is the only way to avoid hearing damage for unreasonable listeners. Block the area in front of the speaker systems with appropriate means.
Avoiding feedbacks
One of the most frequent problems when operating speaker systems are feedbacks. They can be recognized by howling and growling loudspeakers. Feedbacks are created then a signal is recorded by a microphone, amplified, played back by a loudspeaker and then again recorded by the microphone.
The prerequisite for feedback is that the played back signal is louder than the original signal. A feedback never covers the whole frequency range but only one overboosted frequency.
Make sure that you install especially the monitor-speakers so far away from the microphone that another recording of the microphone signal is impossible.
Extreme levels like feedbacks, bass hum or the beats of a dropping microphone can destroy the loudspeakers within very short time and produce immediate hearing damage. Such extreme levels must be avoided at any rate. We recommend to use appropriate equalizers and compressors/limiters.
Stacking
Speaker systems may only be installed on top of other speaker systems if the systems are protected against slipping and flipping over (e.g. via appropriate aluminium connectors).

DANGER!
This speaker system must only be suspended by experienced and trained persons - Danger to Life due to crashing speaker systems!
Trained persons are e.g. Head Rigger, Lightcrew head etc.
If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger.
If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the speaker system!
The speaker system has to be installed out of the reach of people.
The installation material must always hold at least 12 times the weight of the speaker systems.
Attach the speaker-system to the suspension structure using a screw pin anchor shackle and appropriate sling, cable, etc.
Before lifting, ensure the audio connection to the enclosures are correct and functioning.
OPERATION
After having connected your amplifier to the mains, turn all level controls counterclockwise to the minimum position. The last device to be switched on is the amplifier. Now adjust the volume with the level controls.
Caution! Always make sure that the output signal is not distorted and that your speakers will not get damaged.
During operation, please make sure the speaker always sounds well. When distortions can be heard, either the amplifier or the speaker is overloaded. Overloads can quickly lead to amplifier or speaker damage.
English
In order to avoid damage, please reduce the volume immediately when distortions can be heard. When speakers are destroyed by overload, the guarantee becomes void.
Always check the sound pressure level with a meter in order to keep to the threshold.
If you want to switch off the system, switch off the amplifier first and then the pre-amplifiers in order to avoid acoustic shocks on the speakers.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
1) All screws used for installing the speaker systems or parts of the speaker system have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded.
2) There must not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots (ceiling, suspension, trussing).
3) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages, material fatigue (e.g. porous cables) or sediments. Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a skilled installer and any safety problems have to be removed.
4) If the speaker system is installed overhead, the inspection must include if the eye-bolts are still well tightened. Otherwise the eye-bolts have to be tightened hand-tight again.
5) If the speaker system is secured via clamping belts, the inspection must include if the clamping belts are still well fixed. Otherwise fix clamping belts again.
We recommend a frequent cleaning of the speaker system. Please use a soft lint-free and moistened cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents!
There are no serviceable parts inside the speaker system. Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.
If the speaker system distorts, one of the loudspeakers may be defective. Test the speaker system once more with another amplifier. If the sound remains distorted, the speaker system should not be operated any more in order to prevent further damage. Please contact your dealer.
If clacking sounds are heard from the speaker system, screws may have loosened due to the continuous vibrations. The speaker system should be checked by a specialist. Especially for public use, the speaker system should be checked before every operation so that the speaker system and the speakers in the systems are always well fixed.
Should you need any spare parts, please use genuine parts.
Should you have further questions, please contact your dealer.
