Frequently Asked Questions - SPJ Active Speaker with MP3 178.033 Skytec

How to connect a microphone to the speaker?

Use one of the microphone inputs on the input panel and adjust the corresponding microphone volume.

What to do if no sound comes out of the speaker?

Check the connections of the cables, try new cables, and ensure the speaker is powered on. If the problem persists, refer to the 'Troubleshooting' section of the manual.

How to eliminate constant humming?

Humming often comes from the amplifier or the source. Check the grounding, the condition of cables (they should be shielded), and test other devices.

Why is the sound intermittent?

This is usually due to a poor connection (cable or plug). Inspect the connectors and replace defective cables.

How to improve bass reproduction?

Check the polarity of the speakers: if two speakers are connected out of phase, they cancel out bass. Ensure all cables are identical and properly connected.

What safety precautions should be followed?

Do not overexpose hearing to high volume, do not place liquids on the speaker, disconnect during storms or prolonged non-use, and use only with a protected grounded outlet (230V/50Hz).

Can I use the speaker outdoors?

The speaker is designed for indoor use. Protect it from moisture and do not expose it to rain.

How to clean the speaker?

Use a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid or abrasive products. For packaging, recycle materials whenever possible.

Can I repair the speaker myself?

No, all repairs must be carried out by a qualified technician. The speaker contains no user-replaceable parts.

What to do after a long period of non-use?

Wait until the speaker has reached room temperature (to avoid condensation) before connecting it. Turn the volume to minimum before powering on.

ABS ACTIVE UK PA SPEAKERS

Congratulations on the purchase of this SkyTec 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.
• Use only stands which are designed to support the weight of the speaker. Do not attempt to place more than one speaker on a stand designed for a single speaker.
• Route cables so that peoples will not trip over them pulling the speaker over.

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.

Possible cause Action

No output

Cables Reseat all connectors

Substitute Check

known solder

good joins

cables

Inspect cable for damage Inspect wire or connector for stray strand that may short

Intermittent

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. Check the soldering on your connectors.

Constant noise, buzzing and/or humming

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.

Poor low-frequency output

Improper polarity

When two speakers in close proximity to each other are connected out-of-polarity, they can partially cancel each other out, especially at low frequencies. Check your speaker cables to be sure they are all identically wired and connected. Check the balanced line signal cables to be sure they are all correctly wired.

Do not attempt to make any repairs yourself. This would invalid your warranty. Do not make any changes to the unit. This would also invalid your warranty. The warranty is not applicable in case of accidents or damages caused by inappropriate use or disrespect of the warnings contained in this manual.
