CW Subwoofer series

The CW subwoofers have been designed to complement the C-range of speakers. The cabinets have been shaped to achieve an attractive appearance as well as easy mounting and positioning. All C-range products are constructed for heavy-duty use in professional environments.

To fly a speaker:

1. Check that all rigging hardware and fasteners will be able to bear at least ten times the weight of all installed items (speakers, lights, cables, etc.), and that the installation will conform to all legal requirements and safety regulations.
2. Select flying attachment points on the speaker and remove the countersunk 10 mm Allen bolts from these points.
3. Screw eye bolts into the flying attachment points.
4. Fasten suitable flying gear to the eye bolts.

To prepare a speakers for pole mounting:

1. Unscrew the 4 countersunk bolts in the blanking plate.
2. Remove the blanking plate, replacing it with the top hat adaptor.
3. Screw the 4 countersunk bolts into position again to secure the top hat adaptor.

To stack the speakers:

1. Unscrew the countersunk bolts with a 6mm Allan key.
2. Mount the cluster brackets and fasten them with the included screws.

To secure the speakers to surfaces:

1. Remove countersunk 10mm Allen bolts from the speaker at suitable fixing points.
2. Fasten the angle bracket to the speaker at these points with the included screws.
3. Fasten the angle bracket to the surface with suitable fasteners.

Bi-amp 3-way with Subwoofer

In a bi-amp 3-way system the internal crossover is used for mid/high frequencies and the M20.04 controller is used to filter out the subwoofer signal to a separate amplifier running the subwoofer.

Painting the subwoofer

The C-range cabinets are made of plywood coated with Mach Safecoat and can easily be painted to match the color scheme of your venue.

To paint your speaker:

1. Remove the front grille
2. Degrease the cabinet on all surfaces with denatured alcohol/methylated spirit
   Warning: Use of other types of cleaning chemicals can damage the cabinet and should be avoided
3. Mask all areas that should remain unpainted (tweeter, woofer, switch, terminals, reflex port etc)
4. Paint the speaker with Etching primer 2K, P565-713, chromate-free, or a similar product
5. Let the primer dry
6. Apply paint in thin coats to speaker and grill using a paint spraying device
7. When spraying the grille be very careful not to fill any holes, as this will have a serious impact on sound quality
8. Let the paint dry
9. Remove masking
10. Put the grille back in place

Maintenance of the subwoofer

Although subwoofer systems normally only require very limited maintenance there are several things you can do to ensure that your Mach system sounds as good 3 years after installation as on the day you bought it:

Never overload your system – stay within the specified limits for power handling.

Always keep the speaker clean and dry.

As with any electrical product, currents will accelerate corrosion of metal surfaces. Therefore, it is recommended to check the terminals for corrosion at regular intervals, especially if the speaker is mounted in a hostile environment (high humidity, airborne salt, etc.).

How to remove the grille

Remove the screws in the grille and pull the grille out. When replacing the grille do not over-tighten the screws.

How to change the woofer

Remove the grille, then remove the screws in the woofer and lift the woofer out of the cabinet. Carefully disconnect the wires and connect them to the new woffer, install the woffer in the cabinet and reinstall the grille.

How to remove the terminal module from inside of cabinet.

Remove the grille, then remove the screws in the woofer and lift the woofer out of the cabinet. Loosen the eight screws and pull the terminal out. Note the positions of the wires, then carefully disconnect the wires from the transducers.
