OPERA REEVO Cod. 420120426 REV. 1.2 EMI CLASSIFICATION According to the standards EN 55032 and 55035 this is a Class A equipment, designed and suitable to operate for professional use.

Warning: This equipment is compliant with Class A of CISPR 32. In a residential environment this equipment may

cause radio interference.

FCC CLASS A STATEMENT

Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor- dance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

WARNING: Make sure that the loudspeaker is securely installed in a stable position to avoid any injuries or damag-

es to persons or properties. Before hanging the loudspeaker check all the components for damages, deformations, missing or damaged parts that may compromise safety during installation. If you use the loudspeakers outdoor avoid spots exposed to bad weather conditions.

WELCOME! Thanks for purchasing a product that was designed and developed in Italy by dBTechnologies! This active speaker embodies years of experience and innovation in the field of sound reproduction, with the use of cutting edge solutions in the fields of acoustics, electronics and materials research. INTRODUCTORY OVERVIEW OPERA REEVO is the new active speaker series composed of two models: OPERA REEVO 210 (with 10” neodymium woofers) and OPERA REEVO 212 (with 12” neodymium woofers). The sound reproduction of this series is called “Quasi 3-way” and is based on a dual woofer with a coaxial mid/high-frequency driver to increase the efficiency of the top woofer. A phase plug installed in the bottom woofer significantly improves the transient response and overall behaviour of the transducer. Combining small size, wide acoustic coverage and high sound powers, these speakers are suitable for use as stage monitors as well as the main system in small/large venues. The main features are:

• quick and easy to use

• high sound powers USER INFORMATION To use your OPERA REEVO speaker in the best way, we recommend that you:

• read the Quick Start manual included in the package and all of this User Manual, and keep them throughout the entire life of the product.

• register the product in the “SUPPORT” section at the http://www.dbtechnologies.com website.

• keep proof of purchase and the WARRANTY (User manual “section 2”).English

DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT

The OPERA REEVO speakers have been designed with particular attention to optimising their weight and overall size. The OPERA REEVO 210 model weighs 17.2 kg, while the OPERA REEVO 212 mode weighs 20.4 kg. The box is made of polypropylene. The dimensions are: 300 mm (W) x 604 (H) x 324 mm (D) - OPERA REEVO 210 345 mm (W) x 690 (H) x 376 mm (D) - OPERA REEVO 212 W H D OPERA REEVO 210 300mm 604mm 324mm OPERA REEVO 212 345mm 690mm 376mmEnglish

This button selects from three speaker equaliser settings: Flat - default setting, no equalisation active. Playback - the response is optimised for playing music. Wedge - choose this setting when the speaker is used as a stage monitor.

The combination of the two LEDs indicates which preset is active. If both are on, the Wedge preset is selected.

3. INGRESSO AUDIO (“Balanced input”)

Input compatible with a balanced XLR/jack cable to connect the audio signal from a mixer or another speaker.

4. USCITA AUDIO (“Link“)

Output compatible with a balanced XLR/jack cable to link the signal to other speakers in a daisy-chain configuration.

The LEDs provide an immediate indication of the speaker status, in accordance with the logic summarised in the table below: Limiter Signal Power up OFF OFF Use COMPRESSION LIMITER STATUS SIGNAL OUTPUT STATUS Partial malfunction ACTIVE ACTIVE Partial malfunction CYCLIC FLASHING OFF

When linking the audio signal, connect the sound source to the “INPUT” of the first speaker first of all. Then connect a balanced XLR cable from the “LINK” output of the first speaker to the “INPUT” of the second, and so on. Repeat this step for all the speakers in the chain.

CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY

Connect the power cable provided to the MAINS INPUT socket, and then to the mains supply and turn the power switch ON. The Limiter LED will flash briefly. Switch the speaker OFF before disconnecting the power cable. CAUTION! POWER SUPPLY AUDIO SOURCE AUDIO SOURCE POWER SUPPLY

INSTALLATION ON A STAND

The OPERA REEVO speaker can be mounted on the optional standard tripod stand with a 35 mm diameter pole. The maximum permissible height of the speaker base is 160 cm from the floor. CAUTION!

• Use a tripod stand of suitable size with the central foot forward to ensure adequate stability.English

OPERA REEVO Cod. 420120426 REV. 1.2 WEDGE INSTALLATION This type of installation is intended for use as a live monitor. In this case, place the sloping side of the speaker flat on the floor. For an optimal response, we recommend selecting the WEDGE (W) preset from the amplifier panel.

INSTALLATION ON A SUBWOOFER

The OPERA REEVO speaker can be installed on a subwoofer: A. using a 35 mm diameter pole. In this case, the maximum permissible height of the speaker base is 215 cm from the floor. B. stacked with the DS2-S accessory A. B.English

The speakers can also be suspended using eyebolts. The positioning is shown in the figure. The rear eyebolt can be used to adjust the tilt angle (MAX 45°).

WALL MOUNTING WITH BRACKETS

The OPERA REEVO models can be wall-mounted in vertical or horizontal position through the WB-REEVO210, WB- REEVO212, accessory, to be used with OPERA REEVO 210, OPERA REEVO 212, respectively. For further details refer to the instructions relevant to this accessory 45° max CAUTION!

• Screw in the eyebolts until the mating surface of the eyebolt is flush with the surface of the speaker to be lifted.

• When lifting the eyebolts, always pull longitudinally, never sideways.English

The speaker does not power up:

1. Check that the system is connected to a working power supply.

2. Check that the power cord is plugged in correctly.

3. Check the fuse. Contact the service centre if the problem persists after replacing the fuse.

The monitor turns on but does not produce any sound:

4. Check that the audio signal inputs are connected correctly, preferably using cables with Neutrik®

5. Check that the cables used are not damaged.

6. Check that the mixer or audio source is on and clearly shows an output signal.

The sound from the monitor is distorted:

7. With the system powered on, first adjust the volume of the audio source. If the source LIMITER LED is on,

the signal may already be distorted before it reaches the speaker.

8. Check that the connection cables are not damaged. If they are, replace them (a damaged cable may cause

signal loss or alteration).English
