[For American Users and Canadian Users]

The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands

Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

- Set your volume control at a low setting.

- Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

• Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

- Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you.

• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

- Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

WARNING

Installation

This loudspeaker should be installed by a professional installer.

There is a risk the loudspeaker may fall. Ask a professional installer that possesses sufficient skills and experience to install the loudspeaker. Two or more workers are also recommended for installation.

AlphaTheta Corporation bears no responsibility for accidents and damage resulting from deficient installation or mounting, misuse, modifications, and/or natural disasters.

Only the workers installing the loudspeaker should be near it during installation.

There is a risk of injury if parts fall.

Tighten the screws and bolts to the indicated torque.

Falling of screws and bolts may result in injury or accident.

Ensure safe installation by confirming the strength of the installation location and checking the installation method.

Make sure that the floor or stage where you are installing the loudspeaker can sufficiently handle its weight. Consult with a qualified

professional if you are unsure about the strength. If the installation location or installation means such as installation fixtures, etc. do not have enough strength to withstand the mass of the loudspeaker system, it could result in falling of the loudspeaker. Also, be sure to implement redundant safety measures such as by using wires, etc.

Arrange for wires with appropriate length and strength in consideration of the loudspeaker weight and installation condition. Secure the fall prevention wire on the building at a location different from where the loudspeaker mount is secured on the building.

Do not install the loudspeaker in the following environments.

• Locations with a large amount of oily smoke and smoke for theatrical or stage performances.
• Locations that are exposed to water.
• Locations with a large amount of oily smoke, such as inside kitchens or factories.

CAUTION

Installation

When connecting the loudspeaker to other equipment, turn off the power to each piece of equipment.

Carefully read the user's manual for each piece of equipment, and connect the equipment according to the description in the manual. In addition, use the specified cords to connect the equipment. There is a risk of electric shock.

Check the stability of the loudspeaker after mounting it to the wall or ceiling.

Inspect the loudspeaker immediately after mounting it. In addition, check the stability of the loudspeaker regularly.

When using commercially available mounting fixtures, make sure they are strong enough to secure the loudspeaker.

Make sure to thoroughly read the precautions in this manual and the instructions included with the commercially available mounting fixtures. Take care not to place other equipment on top of the loudspeaker. Failure to properly secure them can cause the loudspeaker to fall and result in accidents.

Be careful of subwoofer vibrations.

When installing the loudspeaker in high locations, such as a stage, the subwoofer vibrations can cause the loudspeaker to move, making it fall to the floor, resulting in injury and accidents. Implement measures

to prevent the loudspeaker from slipping off the stage. The vibrations of the subwoofer can cause other loudspeakers to shift from their designated locations, so keep in mind the danger of such loudspeakers tipping over and falling.

Usage Methods

Do not use the loudspeaker in the following states.

• Do not exceed the permissible input.

- If greatly increasing sounds with a equalizer, do not increase the volume too much.

- Do not force the loudspeaker to produce loud sounds with a low output power amplifier.

- Do not use the loudspeaker for a long period of time when the sound is distorted.

The loudspeaker may be damaged, resulting in heat generation and fire.

Turn the volume all the way down before turning on the power and changing the connection.

There is a risk of hearing loss and other problems if the loudspeaker suddenly produces a loud sound.

Do not listen to the loudspeaker at high volumes for a long period of time.

There is a risk of hearing loss.

ALSO TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING CAUTIONS

Installation

Use the loudspeaker within the specified range of load impedance of the amplifier.

When connecting the loudspeakers in parallel, always connect within the specified range of load impedance of the amplifier. Failure to do so could result in malfunctioning of the amplifier.

About high-impedance connections

Installation and Connection

WARNING

• Make sure that the floor or wall where you are installing the loudspeaker is strong enough to support it.
- Use screws that are appropriate for supporting the weight of the loudspeaker.

CAUTION

• Supported wire diameter: 12 AWG to 22 AWG
- The walls and ceiling will resonate with loudspeaker output, causing impaired sound quality, so reinforce the wall or ceiling sufficiently.

Connecting and Setting the Input Selection Switch

This section describes how to connect the loudspeaker to a power amplifier or other speakers. The connector of this loudspeaker consists of four terminals; terminal 1 of the loop through terminal is "+" , terminal 2 is "+" , terminal 3 is "-" , and terminal 4 of the loop through terminal is "-". Terminals 1 and 2 and terminals 3 and 4 are connected inside the loudspeaker, respectively.

Parallel connection

Even if one speaker has a problem, other speakers will work fine. As shown below, connect the cable to the next speaker using the same terminal used for the cable from the previous speaker.

Loop through connection

With this connection method, it is easier to identify which speaker is experiencing trouble. If the Euroblock connector is disconnected from a speaker, subsequent speakers will no longer operate. Connect the cable from the previous speaker to the IN "+" (terminal 2) and "-" (terminal 3), and connect the cable to the next speaker to the loop through "+" (terminal 1) and "-" (terminal 4).

1 Strip away about 7 mm (0.3") of the insulation on the end of the speaker cable, insert the core wire of the speaker cable into each terminal of Euroblock connector ①, and tighten the screw ② to secure it.

The Euroblock connector is attached to the speaker's terminal at the time of shipment.
