Secondary Safeties All loudspeakers own in theatres, studios or other places of work and entertainment shall, in addition to the principle load bearing means of suspension, be provided with an independent, properly rated, and securely attached secondary safety. Only steel wire ropes or steel chains of an approved construction and load rating shall be used as secondary safeties. Plastic-covered steel wire ropes are not permitted for use as secondary safeties. The secondary safety suspension must be independent of the primary suspension points and capable of carrying the total system weight. The additional safety device must be mounted in a way that the loudspeaker is caught by the safety device without any drop and swing, in the event that the primary suspension fails. Operational Safety The procedures require the use of two or more authorised persons. Produce a lift plan: before any lift takes place, you must formulate a lift plan that describes the exact steps and procedures that will be carried out. The plan must be shared with all assistants and stake-holders in the lift so that each person will understand their responsibilities. Observe all instructions given on the respective instruction labels of the rigging components and loudspeakers. When using chain hoists, make sure nobody is directly underneath or in the vicinity of the loudspeakers. During assembly pay attention to the possible risk of crushing. Wear suitable protective clothing. Safety Inspections Carefully inspect rigging system components and cabinets for defects or signs of damage before proceeding to assemble the speaker to be own. If any parts are damaged or suspect, or if there is any doubt as to the proper functioning and safety of the items DO NOT USE THEM and withdraw them from use immediately. System Requirements PQ10, PQ12, and PQ15 full range speakers and the PQ18B subwoofer operate as a passive system and require only one amplier channel and DSP for normal forward ring operation; Cardioid bass set ups will require additional amplier and DSP channels. All PQ series loudspeakers exclusively use Lake pre-sets via Lab Gruppen PLM+ and D series L platforms, Lab Gruppen IPX Series pre-sets will be released in due time. No 3rd-party amplier and DSP platforms are supported, no raw pre-set data is released or supported. The PQ series has a powerful yet simple pre-set strategy utilizing the latest functionality of LAKE XP software. Pre-set data is found either via Lake LOAD Library (https://www.labgruppen.com/downloads.html) or can be downloaded from https://www.turbosound.com/ downloads.html Recommended Lab Gruppen PLM+ models for Touring applications are the PLM8k44, PLM12k44 and PLM20k44. For installations using Lab Gruppen D series L models, please use Lab Gruppen ‘CAFE’ software - available for download from www.labgruppen.com - to determine the optimum amplier conguration for your system. System Cabling Requirements To avoid wasting amplier power, you should use heavy-duty speaker cable with a minimum wire size of 2.5 mm² (14 AWG), and preferably 4 mm² (12 AWG) for longer runs or where total cabinet input impedance is less than 8 ohms. For extreme cable lengths, be aware of cable impedance and resistive losses. Always observe the correctpolarity. Use genuine 2 x NL4M Connectors for reliable operation. Attach and support the speaker cables from your ampliers to the loudspeaker cabinets, so that no signicant additional weight or lateral force is applied to the speakers by the input wiring. Input cables or link cables should never be used to angle the speakers or used as rigging in any way. Stereo System Example NOTE: Since the PQ cabinet is wired (1+/- = FR and 2+/- = Link), use (Speaker Output 1: 1 +/- and Speaker Output 2: 2 +/- ) for the output patching from the Lab Gruppen amplier Depending on how the other channels are used, it may be useful to use an "NL4 to 2-NL2 breakout splitter cable," as shown in the example below. The NL4 end uses Pin 1 +/- and Pin 2 +/- and both NL2 ends need to be wired Pin 1 +/- LAB GRUPPEN Amplier outputs congured in LAKE software on Pins 1+/- and 2 +/- NL4 with Pins 1+/- and Pins 2+/- used NL2 - NL2 wired Pin 1+/- NL2 - NL2 wired Pin 1+/-10 PQ Series Quick Start Guide 11 Stereo System Example with PQ18B Subwoofers Note: Since the PQ cabinet is wired (1+/- = FR and 2+/- = link), the output patching can be selected from any of the 4 options (1, 2, 3, 4 +/-) from the Lab Gruppen PLM+ amplier. This example of a stereo system shows two PQ12 speakers and two PQ18B subwoofers. Use standard NL4 cables to connect the subwoofer's PINS SWAP LINK to the INPUT of the PQ12. Note: in this case, do not use the PQ18B subwoofer front input, as it uses Pin 2+/- connected to the woofer.

The PIN SWAP LINK connector is used in order to power multiple enclosures using standard NL4 cables. To power one subwoofer per amplier channel, a standard NL4 cable from Lab Gruppen bi-wired NL4 outputs (Channel 1 = 1+/-; Channel 2 = 2+/-) connects to the rst subwoofer, then another standard NL4 cable is connected via the PIN SWAP LINK to the INPUT of the second subwoofer. To power two subwoofers per amplier channel, standard NL4 link cables from Lab Gruppen bi-wired NL4 outputs (Channel 1 = 1+/-; Channel 2 = 2+/-) can be used in used; refer to wiring diagrams below for further details.

These accessories comply with BGV-C1 rigging standards. The PQ speakers and the PQ18B subwoofer are not arrayable products. They are supported in Ease Focus 3 in stand-alone use, with Manchester series subwoofers, or as a ll or delay speaker as part of larger Manchester series systems. EASE Focus 3 is an acoustic simulation program, available as a free download from https://www.afmg.eu/en/ease-focus The graphs below are typical of EASE Focus 3 data. Use the actual program for exact data for these speakers. Installation PQ10, PQ12, PQ15 Safety Warning: Only authorised and certied personnel shall design and install suspended congurations. Incorrect installation may lead to death or permanent injury. The use of a secondary safety is a mandatory safety requirement. The versatile PQ speaker has two sets of four feet for tilting the speaker as a stage monitor, two integral pole mount holes, and M10 mounting holes with tted hex socket head screws. PQ series cabinets are designed with multiple internal rigging points to suit many possible mounting methods in permanent installations. All cabinets can be simply suspended using optional M10 shoulder eyebolts coupled to the internal rigging points provided. Remove the appropriate countersunk screws and replace them with eyebolts, which must have a thread length of at least 18 mm. Cabinets may be hung upside down if required. The optional accessories allow the PQ speaker to be mounted in a number of dierent congurations. Feet M10 Mounting Holes with Screws Badge Rotation The Turbosound badge is spring-loaded and can be rotated by hand to suit vertical or horizontal positioning. Pole Mount Two 35 mm holes are provided for pole mounting, one in the vertical position, and one with the PQ tilted downwards. The PQ can be pole mounted on a PQ18B or MS121 subwoofer, or on a suitable tripod stand. We recommend using a 35 mm pole with an M20 thread at the lower end. This type provides more security and will screw into the top receptacle of the PQ18B subwoofer. Tilted DownwardsVertical Fly Bar TQ-FB The optional TQ-FB y bar allows the speaker to be own. The TQ-FB ts the PQ10, PQ12, and PQ15 speakers. It has ten pick points for attaching shackles, and it bolts to the top or bottom of the PQ speaker. The y bar ts to the top or bottom of the PQ speaker using two of the existing M10 screws as shown. Securely tighten both screws. The ybar has 10x 12.5 mm diameter holes that are used as pick points for rigging shackles. The space between each rail of the TQ-FB allows for a standard 1 ton bow shackle to be used to pick up the PQ. Either style of shackle will work: W.L.L = 1 Ton A= 10 mm B= 11 mm C= 17 mm D= 36.5 mm16 PQ Series Quick Start Guide 17 Yoke Bracket PQ10-YB, PQ12-YB, PQ15-YB The optional yoke bracket allows the PQ speakers to be own using suitable hook clamps or couplers to securely mount to a own truss. The yoke bracket is available in 3 sizes to t each of the speakers in the PQ series: PQ10-YB, PQ12-YB, and PQ15-YB. Ratcheting handles are provided on either side to help angle the speakers accurately and secure them. The yoke bracket ts to the sides of the PQ speaker, by screwing the handles into the existing M10 mounting holes on each side. Note that the yoke bracket is oriented as shown. Adjust the speaker tilt to the desired angle, and then tighten the handles to secure the speaker in position. If the yoke bracket is to be bolted to a ceiling or other surface, then secure the yoke bracket rst. Then lift the speaker and attach it to the yoke bracket with the handles. Adjust the speaker angle and tighten the handles. Pole Mount SA-35 The optional SA-35 bracket allows the yoke bracket to support the PQ speaker on a 35 mm pole mount or tripod. Note that the yoke bracket is oriented as shown. The SA-35 bracket attaches to the yoke bracket with two screws. The assembly can then be added to a 35 mm pole mounted to a PQ18B subwoofer, or to a suitable tripod stand. Tighten the SA-35 handle to secure the assembly to the pole or tripod. Adjust the speaker tilt as desired and tighten the handles on each side. Swivel Bracket PQ10-SB, PQ12-SB, and PQ15-SB The optional swivel bracket allows the PQ speakers to be ceiling mounted horizontally, or truss-mounted using suitable hook clamps. The swivel bracket is available in 3 sizes to t each of the speakers in the PQ series: PQ10-SB, PQ12-SB, and PQ15-SB. The speaker angle can be accurately set and clamped in position with the clamp/handle screw. If the swivel bracket is to be bolted to a ceiling or other surface, then secure the bracket rst. Add the small bracket to the top side of the PQ speaker, using the existing M10 mounting screws as shown. Attach the large plate to the bottom of the speaker, using the existing M10 screws. It covers the pole mount holes as shown. Center the large washer, and then add the swivel bracket and secure it with the center screw and the handle screw. Secure the other end of the swivel bracket with the supplied screw. Set the speaker at the desired angle and tighten the handle screw and center screws on either end of the swivel bracket. Horn Rotation The MF/HF Horn assembly provides an 80 degree horizontal beamwidth, and a 50 degree vertical beamwidth, when the PQ is mounted vertically (portrait). The horn assembly can be removed and reinstalled in a dierent orientation to suit desired congurations and coverage. For example, if the speaker is used in landscape mode, you can rotate the horn to maintain the 80 degrees horizontal and 50 degree vertical beamwidths. (This is a typical example of the need for horn rotation.) The horn is marked on the front with the beamwidth angles. Follow the procedure below to rotate the horn: Remove the grille by removing the ve screws on each side. Remove the 12 screws of the horn assembly. Carefully pull the horn assembly forward, just enough to be able to rotate the assembly to the desired orientation. Reinstall the horn with the 12 screws. Make sure the wiring is intact and not pinched. Reinstall the grille using its ten screws, and make a note that the speaker has been modied.18 PQ Series Quick Start Guide 19 Installation PQ18B Safety Warning: Only authorised and certied personnel shall design and install suspended congurations. Incorrect installation may lead to death or permanent injury. The use of a secondary safety is a mandatory safety requirement if installing this product with the M10 rigging points. The PQ18B has interlocking feet on the bottom and one side for stacking subwoofers or standing them on a at surface. There is one integral pole mount hole, and M10 mounting holes with tted hex socket head screws. Groundstacking The PQ18B can be groundstacked in the horizontal or vertical orientation. In the vertical orientation, stack only two of them and in the horizontal, stack a maximum of three. Suitable racket straps looped around the group of cabinets is advised as an additional safety measure. Feet Feet Pole Mount Feet Badge Rotation The Turbosound badge is spring-loaded and can be rotated by hand to suit vertical or horizontal positioning. Suspension The PQ18B cabinet can be simply suspended using optional M10 shoulder eyebolts coupled to the internal rigging points provided. Remove the appropriate countersunk screws and replace them with eyebolts, which must have a thread length of at least 40 mm. Cabinets may be hung upside down if required. Rigging Points Eyebolts M10 Shoulder Eyebolt 40 mm Pole Mount One 35 mm hole is provided for pole mounting. We recommend using a 35 mm pole with an M20 thread at the lower end. This type provides more security and will screw into the top receptacle of thePQ18B. Transport Wheels (option) An optional kit allows four wheels to be mounted as shown. Lake Preset Overlays and ApplicationNotes All PQ series loudspeakers exclusively use Lake XP pre-sets via Lab Gruppen PLM+ and D series L platforms and the forthcoming IPX FiR-X pre-sets. No other amplier and DSP platforms are supported. The PQ series has a powerful yet simple pre-set strategy utilizing the latest functionality of Lake software, along with new BLEQ overlays. Pre-set data is found either via the Lake Load Library, or can be downloaded from www.turbosound.com PQ10, PQ12, PQ15 loudspeakers each have individual 1 way passive FIR base pre-sets (1 channel DSP/AMP), full range with or without Subwoofers. The PQ18B subwoofer has an individual 1 way passive FIR base pre-set (1 channel DSP/AMP). CAUTION: Do not combine PQ10, PQ12, PQ15 loudspeakers on the same amplier / DSP circuit. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to damage to the equipment. CAUTION: Pay careful attention to output patching. CAUTION: Pay careful attention to the HF Horn orientation, and select the HR preset if the HF Horn has been rotated. PQ10, PQ12, PQ15, and PQ18B modules are based on the XP module from Lake software. This QSG refers to REV1.1 XP presets. Lake software V7.0.7 or above must be used. LakeXP signal ow: The download of the Lake controller includes the Lake Controller Operation Manual, which is a full tutorial of the Lake Controller and compatible hardware such as PLM+ series ampliers Within this QSG, we focus on the Turbosound PQ series workow and pre-set strategy, and assume basic working knowledge of the Lake Controller.

SUBWOOFER TIMEALIGNMENT ILLUSTRATION OVERLAY

The PQ18B subwoofer pre-sets uses all- pass lters to set the initial time alignment (assuming the fronts of the cabinets are in line) this greatly reduces systemlatency. For example: If the fronts of the PQ speaker and subwoofer are aligned, then in both pre-sets, the delay should be set to the default, which is0ms. However, it is not always possible to have the own speakers and the ground stacked bass aligned in the verticalplane.

1. In this example, the sub is ‘forward’ of the PQ

speaker, and so the sub needs to be delayed.

Delay adjustment of subwoofers

2. In this example, the own PQ speaker is

‘forward’ of the sub, and so the PQ needs to bedelayed. How do you nd the correct delay time to align the own speakers to the ground stackedbass? Some basic knowledge of delay units can get you an acceptable result by measuring the distance between the fronts of the own speaker and the front of the ground stacked array. Remember within Lake software you can choose the delay unit; ms, m, orfeet. 1 ms (milliseconds) = 0.343 m (meters) =

Further ne-tuning can be done by using one of the many industry standard measurement software systems, reference microphones and sound-cards. Lake software oers integration to many of these software systems, and further information can be found at www.labgruppen.com
