USER MANUAL Active Speaker PD 15A Power Dynamics

Congratulations on the purchase of this Power Dynamics active speaker box. Please read this manual carefully prior to using the unit. TO ENSURE MANY YEARS OF TROUBLEFREE USE, PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

• Hearing damage: Loudspeakers are easily capable of generating high sound pressure levels (SPL) sufficient to cause permanent hearing damage to performers, production crew and audience members. Caution should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to SPL in excess of 90 dB.

• Do not overload the box to avoid damage to the speakers.

• Do not place an open fire (candle, etc.) on top or next to the box - FIRE HAZARD

• Only connect to an earthed mains outlet of 230Vac/50Hz.

• For indoor use only. If the box is used outdoors, you need to make sure that no humidity can enter the box.

• When not in use, unplug the unit from the mains.

• Unplug the unit from the mains prior to checking or replacing the fuse.

• Make sure that the box is placed on a stable, strong surface.

• The boxes can be stacked but do not put more than 60kg weight on the box.

• The boxes can be hung. Use only strong and approved mounting material. During the mounting, make sure that nobody is standing below the mounting area.

• Place the stand always on a flat, level, and stable surface and that the legs do not present a trip hazard.

Display MP3 information8 - 18 TROUBLESHOOTING One certain method of determining if a speaker is faulty is to substitute a speaker that is known to work correctly for the suspected problem speaker. If the “normally correct speaker” is experiencing the same difficulties or problems as the suspected problem speaker, use the information below to isolate the problem. No output Possible cause Action Speaker cables Reseat all connectors Inspect cable for damage Inspect wire or connector for stray strand that may short Intermittent Possible cause Action Poor connections While it is possible for a faulty speaker to exhibit intermittent output, it’s more likely that an output cable/connector is the problem. Reseat all connectors Constant noise, buzzing and/or humming Possible cause Action Faulty electronic Any constant noise originates in the amplifier, mixer, signal processing, source device in the signal devices, or line-level wiring. Check and correct system grounding as required. Chain check for noisy sources or electronic components. Check wiring for shielding.
