FOR EQUIPMENT THAT Connects TO THE POWER MAINS

1. CAUTION: If the power cord of the device is equipped with an earthing contact, then it must be connected to an outlet with a protective ground. Never deactivate the protective ground of a power cord.
2. If the equipment has been exposed to strong fluctuations in temperature (for example, after transport), do not switch it on immediately. Moisture and condensation could damage the equipment. Do not switch on the equipment until it has reached room temperature.
3. Before connecting the equipment to the power outlet, first verify that the mains voltage and frequency match the values specified on the equipment. If the equipment has a voltage selection switch, connect the equipment to the power outlet only if the equipment values and the mains power values match. If the included power cord or power adapter does not fit in your wall outlet, contact your electrician.
4. Do not step on the power cord. Make certain that the power cable does not become kinked, especially at the mains outlet and/or power adapter and the equipment connector.
5. When connecting the equipment, make certain that the power cord or power adapter is always freely accessible. Always disconnect the equipment from the power supply if the equipment is not in use or if you want to clean the equipment. Always unplug the power cord and power adapter from the power outlet at the plug or adapter and not by pulling on the cord. Never touch the power cord and power adapter with wet hands.
6. Whenever possible, avoid switching the equipment on and off in quick succession because otherwise this can shorten the useful life of the equipment.
7. I i t service centre.
8. To disconnect the equipment from the power mains completely, unplug the power cord or power adapter from the power outlet.
9. If your device is equipped with a Volex power connector, the mating Volex equipment connector must be unlocked before it can be removed. However, this also means that the equipment can slide and fall down if the power cable is pulled, which can lead to personal injuries and/or other damage. For this reason, always be careful when laying cables.
10. Unplug the power cord and power adapter from the power outlet if there is a risk of a lightning strike or before extended periods of disuse.

CAUTION: Never remove the cover, because otherwise there may be a risk of electric shock. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Have repairs carried out only by qualified service personnel.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock.

The exclamation mark within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions.

CAUTION - HIGH VOLUME LEVELS WITH AUDIO PRODUCTS!

This equipment is intended for professional use. Therefore, commercial use of this equipment is subject to the respectively applicable national accident prevention rules and regulations. As a manufacturer, Adam Hall is obligated to notify you formally about the existence of potential health risks. Hearing damage due to high volume and prolonged exposure: When in use, this product is capable of producing high sound-pressure levels (SPL) that can lead to irreversible hearing damage in performers, employees, and audience members.

For this reason, avoid prolonged exposure to volumes in excess of 90 dB.

To prevent possible hearing damage, avoid listening at high volume levels over long periods of time. Even exposure to short bursts of loud noise can result in hearing loss. Please keep the volume constantly at a comfortable level.

APPAREILS RELIÉS AU SECTEUR

Up to four SAT42G2(W) or SAT62G2(W) speakers per power amplifier output can be operated in parallel at 4 ohms. The speaker signal is simply looped through to the next speaker via the connector panel on the rear.

SAT242G2(W), SAT442G2(W) and SAT82G2(W)

Up to two SAT42G2(W), SAT442G2(W) or SAT62G2(W) speakers per power amplifier output can be operated in parallel at 4 ohms. The speaker signal is simply looped through to the next speaker via the connector panel on the rear.

SUB88 in conjunction with SAT42G2(W), SAT62G2(W), SAT242G2(W) or SAT82G2(W)

Connect the speaker cables from the power amplifier (Output Left and Right) to the Input Left and Right

connectors of the subwoofer. Afterwards, connect the SAT Series speakers to the Output Left and Right connectors of the subwoofer. Up to two

SAT42G2(W) or SAT62G2(W) speakers per subwoofer output (Output Left and Right) can be operated in parallel at 4 ohms. One SAT242G2(W)

SAT442G2(W) or SAT82G2(W) speaker per subwoofer output (Output Left and Right) can be operated in this configuration at 4 ohms. We recommend using speaker cable with a conductor cross-section of at least 2 × 1.5 mm^2 .

Active Speakers

It is advisable to always turn on active speakers last and turn them off first in order to avoid the switch-on noises caused by connected mixers, etc. If multiple active speakers areconnected one after the other in series (SAT62AG2), then they should always be switched on in the order in which they are connected and switched off in reverse order.

Turn the active speakers off before you connect them. They can be connected both via 6.3 mm TRS plugs (balanced three-pole / unbalanced two-pole) as well as balanced three-pole XLR plugs. Once you have connected all of the necessary cables and set the volume (MAIN LEVEL) of the active speaker to minimum, you can switch on the audio source (e.g., mixer). Afterwards you can also switch on the active speakers. Start an audio signal and now turn the MAIN LEVEL knob clockwise until the desired volume is attained. Carry out these steps with all connected active speakers. On the following pages of this user manual, you will find a summary of the connectors, controls, and indicators.

SUB 10A in conjunction with passive SAT Series speakers

Connect the passive SAT Series speakers to the speaker outputs (SPEAKER OUT LEFT / RIGHT) of the SUB10A.

Up to four SAT42G2(W) or SAT62G2(W) speakers per speaker output can be operated in parallel. The speaker signal is simply looped through to the next speaker via the connector panel on the rear of the passive speaker.

Up to two SAT242G2(W) or SAT862G2(W) speakers per speaker output can be operated in parallel. The speaker signal is simply looped through to the next speaker via the connector panel on the rear of the passive speaker.

We recommend using speaker cable with a conductor cross-section of at least 2 × 1.5 mm^2 .

SUB10A in conjunction with SAT62AG2(W) and SAT82AG2(W) active speakers

Connect the active speakers to the line outputs (LINE DIRECT OUTPUT) of the SUB10A.

Looping Through the signal

With the SAT62AG2(W) and SAT82AG2(W) active speakers, the audio signal can be looped through to additional systems using a three-pole XLR cable. Accordingly, it is not necessary to connect each device to the audio source individually. Please use high-quality XLR cables for this and ensure that they are connected carefully.

SUB88A

To connect the SUB88A active subwoofer to the SAT62AG2 and SAT82AG2(W) active speakers, the subwoofer must be connected as the last speaker in the chain, since it only has one line input.

EN Balanced XLR line output for looping through the input signal.

EN Toggles between continuous operation (ON) and auto mode (AUTO). In the AUTO position, the amplifier of the speaker system switches on automatically as soon as a signal is received. If there is no signal for several minutes, the amplifier switches to standy mode.

EN The LED lights up red if the unit is switched on and is in AUTO mode, but no signal is present. Once a signal is present, the LED changes colours to green. The LED also lights up green if the unit is switched on and is in ON mode.

EN IEC power socket 220V-240V with built-in fuse holder. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Replace the fuse only with a fuse of the same type and rating. If the fuse blows repeatedly, please contact an authorised service centre.
