1 Safety

1.1 Suspension

Warning!

Suspended any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends that loudspeakers be suspended taking into account all current national, federal, state, and local laws and regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance with all such requirements. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly recommends the system be inspected at least once per year or as laws and regulations require. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall, ceiling, or structure is capable of supporting all objects suspended overhead. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.

Safety point

As an added safety measure, it is suggested the user install an extra suspension point back to the building structural supports. This safety point should have as little slack as possible (less than 1-inch is preferable).

3 Installation and wiring

3.1 Installing the speaker

	For safety, ensure the mounting surface supports more than the weight of the speaker. Use only industry-accepted fasteners and mounting methods when mounting the U-Bracket.Consult an expert if you are unsure.
Warning!Use a support system which has sufficient wind load strength to comply with the applicable codes and standards.Disregarding this warning could result in damage to the product and major injury or possibly death may occur.
Caution!It is the installer's responsibility to determine and use the proper mounting hardware for the wall construction type.Disregarding this caution could result in damage to the product and personal injuries may occur.
Notice!Connections shall not be made with rigid conduit but with flexible conduit or wiring only.

Installing the U-Bracket

To install the U-bracket, do the following:

1. Draw a level line.
2. Align screw holes on the level line.

4 Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Causes Action
No Sound Amplifier	Connect a known work	ing test speaker to the amplifier outputs. If there is no sound, check all electronics are on, the signal routing is correct, the source is active; the volume is turned up, and so on. Correct/Repair/Replace as necessary. If there is sound, the problem is in the wiring.
	Wiring Verify you have	connected the correct wire pairs to the amplifier. Play something at low level through the amplifier (for example, from a CD player or tuner). Connect the test speaker in parallel with the malfunctioning line. If the sound has gone or is very weak, the line has a short in it (possibly a severe scrape, pinch, or staple puncture). If the sound level is normal the wire is open (possibly a cut wire or missed connection). Using the test speaker, move down the line and test each connection/junction until you find the problem and correct it. Observe proper polarity.
		Verify you have the inputs and outputs connected to the correct wires. If the subwoofer input panel is not correctly wired, there will be little or no sound. Observe proper polarity.
Poor Low-Frequency Response	Speakers Wired Out-of-Polarity	When two speakers are connected out of polarity (out of phase), the low frequencies will cancel each other acoustically. Carefully observe the wire markings or tracers on your speaker wires. Verify the amplifier (+) terminal is connected to the red speaker terminals and the amplifier (-) terminal is connected to the black speaker terminals.
	Improperly Wired Subwoofer Panel	Using a test speaker as described above, verify all amplifier and speaker wires are connected to their proper terminals with the correct polarity. Reversing just one set of amplifier wires can cut out all bass output from the subwoofer.
Intermittent Output such as, Crackling or Distortion	Faulty Connection Check	clean and tight. If the problem persists, it may be in the amplifier or wiring. See other actions above.
Constant Noise such as Buzzing, Hissing, Humming	Defective Amplifier or other Electronic Device	If the noise is present but no program material is playing, the likely cause is the signal chain in the electronics. Evaluate each component as necessary to isolate the problem.
	Poor System Grounding or Ground Loop	Check and correct the system grounding, as required.

If these suggestions do not solve your problem, contact your nearest Electro-Voice dealer or Electro-Voice distributor.
