WELCOME! PRELIMINARY OVERVIEW USER REFERENCES Thank you for purchasing a product designed and developed in Italy by dBTechnologies! The ES 602-802 series, easy to transport, is the result of years of experience and research on acoustics, electronics and materials. The ES 602-802 bi-amp system series is easy to transport, while providing excellent acoustic performance. The subwoofer section is equipped with a 10” cone for ES 602 and with a 12” cone for ES 802; this ensures a consistency at low frequencies which is not what one would expect from such a compact system. The tops of both models have been designed using 4 3” transducers, in an optimised inner layout. This ensures an effective acoustic coverage in different usage contexts, indoors and outdoors. The powerful DSP and the particular exibility of the inputs also ensure great versatility; that’s why this series is the perfect choice for those who wish a compact system, easy to transport but providing powerful PA amplication. The main characteristics are: To get the most from your ES 602-802 we recommend that you:

MECHANICAL AND ACOUSTIC CHARACTERISTICS

DIMENSIONS ACOUSTIC COVERAGE The ES 602 and ES 802 systems are compact; they can be easily disassembled for transport and the main weight is that of the subwoofer section: 14.2 kg for ES 602, 16.4 kg for ES 802. For the installation of the satellite (ES 602) or of the 2 satellites (ES 802) the package includes 2 25 mm poles with M20 threading, one of which is telescopic and can be adjusted to reach a series of pre- set heights, to a maximum total height of about 208 cm (81,89 inch.) for ES 602 and of about 245 cm (96,46 inch.) for ES 802. The ES 602 and ES 802 systems feature an horizontal acoustic coverage of 95° and a vertical one of 65°. For ES 802, thanks to the accurate design of the 2 overlapping modules, ES-TOP A and ES-TOP B, the overall coverage is the same once they have been mounted in a stacked conguration. ACCESSORI For system transport and protection, the following items are available:

• protective cover for the subwoofer (TC-ES10 for ES 602, TC-ES12 for ES 802)

• backpack-protective cover for satellites (TC-ESTOP)

Thanks to a switching power supply section featuring a particularly efcient auto-range function, the system is quiet, as it requires no active cooling system. The system is controlled by a powerful DSP, allowing to dene different pre-sets, according to one’s usage and installation requirements. ATTENTION!

• Protect the module from humidity

• Never try to open the amplier

• In case of malfunction, immediately cut off the power supply, by disconnecting the module from the mains, then contact an authorised repairman The DIGIPRO G3 panel consists of:

It allows to link the output signal to another ES speaker system or to another active speaker.

It allows to select through a rotary control the pre-set which is the most appropriate for the inputs and the installation environment.

7. RCA-TYPE STEREO INPUT

A stereo input allowing to connect a device like a CD or MP3 player or other external equipment, in addition or as an alternative to the main input, “CH1 CHANNEL” (1).

• Never use the speaker for a prolonged time while the limiter LED is on or blinking, indicating the equipment is running under excessive stress conditions.

• Only use cables equipped with high-quality genuine Neutrik® connectors. Using different or poor-quality connectors might affect the speaker operation.

The “CH1” combo input allows to input both a connection from MIXER/LINE and a microphone connection.

When on, the limiter LED indicates that the internal protection circuit, protecting the amplier from distortion and the transducers from overloads, has been activated. The on-signal LED indicates the presence of the input audio signal. English

CONNECTING THE INPUTS

4. Now insert the speaker assembly from the TOP A side using the hole

located on the bottom side. ATTENTION!

• Make sure that ES-TOP A is rmly in place, but never forcibly rotate it during installation, do avoid damaging the coupling system.• Never transport the ES-TOP A and ES-TOP B speakers while they are coupled to each other; always detach them when carrying them to avoid damaging the couplings.• For ES 802 only, make sure that you install ES-TOP A on the pole as shown in the gure and and not ES-TOP B, as the cable needs to be connected from the subwoofer to this specic satellite.

• Perform the connection to the main input (1) using a cable equipped with a XLR (balanced) or TRS (unbalanced) connector. For an overview of the most common cables available for audio connection please refer to the table below. Depending on the source (line/mixer or microphone), set the relevant selector (8) to the appropriate value. Turn the MASTER CONTROL (4) volume to the minimum level.

• If any, connect the secondary stereo input with RCA-type cables, setting the AUX VOLUME (6) to the minimum level. Later you’ll be able to mix the signal from this auxiliary input with the main input signal, through the respective volumes. Remember that the MASTER CONTROL (4) still controls the overall system output volume.

• Temporarily set DSP PRESET (5) to FLAT.

• Using the supplied SPEAKON cable, connect the output of the TOP OUTPUT MONO (11) output to the ES-TOP A input, for both one (ES 602), and two (ES 802) satellite installations.

• Insert the power supply connector into the relevant input (10), then turn the POWER selector to position “I”.

• The PEAK LED (3) temporarily lights up, then it goes off

• Progressively increase the master (4) and auxiliary (6, if any) volumes

• It should be noticed that the ON-SIGNAL LED (3) blinks to indicate the presence of the input audio signal

• Use the DSP PRESET (5) position that is the most appropriate for the application.

English34 ES 602 - 802 Cod. 420120228 REV. 1.2 The audio signal can be linked using a balanced XLR cable connection to a second unit, then in a cascade to a third one, and so on. To link the audio signal connect the LINK output (2) of the rst ES 602 or ES 802 to the input (1) of a second device. Perform the connection with the downstream system by turning the relevant selector (8) to the LINE position. The volumes of the linked systems will be independent of each other.

The powerful DSP of the ES 602-802 systems provides 8 congurations, allowing to digitally equalise the audio signal according to different pre-set contexts and different usage needs. To select the relevant program just use a small screwdriver and turn the rotary control to the desired program number:

1. FLAT: the setting performs no equalisation, directly outputting the input signal with no changes

2. BASS BOOST: it emphasises the low frequencies

3. BASS REDUCTION: it reduces the low frequencies, and is particularly suitable for reverberating

environments, to improve intelligibility.

4. PLAYBACK: it performs an equalisation that is particularly suitable for the playback of music tracks from

sources like CDs, MP3 players or other portable systems.

5. CLUB: this setting helps equalising frequencies to improve listening in small indoor environments

6. VOCAL: an equalisation emphasising the voice frequency range, particularly suitable when a

microphone has been connected to input (1), and the relevant selector (8) has been set to MIC, or for the playback of speech.

7. MONITOR: This setting is suitable when using the ES 602-802 system as a personal monitor.

1. Check that the power supply upstream of the system is working properly

2. Check that the power cord is properly plugged

3. Check that the ON/OFF selector is turned to “I”.
