General Notes on Safety for Loudspeaker Systems Mounting systems may only be used for those loudspeaker systems authorized by the manufacturer and only with the mounting accessories specified by the manufacturer in the installation instructions. Read and heed the manufacturer’s installation instructions. The indicated load-bearing capacity cannot be guaranteed and the manufacturer will not be liable for damages in the event of improper installation or the use of unauthorized mounting accessories. The system’s load-bearing capacity cannot be guaranteed and the manufacturer will not be liable for damages in the event that loudspeakers, mounting accessories, and connecting and attaching components are modified in any way. Components affecting safety may only be repaired by the manufacturer or authorized agents, otherwise the operating permit will be voided. Installation may be performed qualified personnel only, and then only at pick-points with sufficient load-carrying capacity and in compliance with local building regulations. Use only the mounting hardware specified by the manufacturer in the installation instructions (screws, anchors, etc.). Take all the precautions necessary to ensure bolted connections and other threaded locking devices will not loosen. Fixed and portable installations (in this case, speakers and mounting accessories) must be secured by two independent safeties to prevent them from falling. Safeties must be able to catch accessories or parts that are loose or may become loose. Ensure compliance with the given national regulations when using connecting, attaching, and rigging devices. Factor potential dynamic forces (jerk) into the equation when determining the proper size and load-bearing capacity of safeties. Be sure to observe speaker stands’ maximum load-bearing capacity. Note that for reasons of design and construction, most speaker stands are approved to bear centric loads only; that is, the speakers’ mass has to be precisely centered and balanced. Ensure speaker stands are set up stably and securely. Take appropriate added measures to secure speaker stands, for example when: - the floor or ground surface does not provide a stable, secure base. - they are extended to heights that impede stability. - high wind pressure may be expected. - there is the risk that they may be knocked over by people. Special measures may become necessary as precautions against unsafe audience behavior. Do not set up speaker stands in evacuation routes and emergency exits. Ensure corridors are wide enough and put proper barriers and markings in place when setting speaker stands up in passageways. Mounting and dismounting are especially hazardous tasks. Use aids suitable for this purpose. Observe the given national regulations when doing so. Wear proper protection (in particular, a helmet, gloves, and safety shoes) and use only suitable means of ascent (ladders, scaffolds, etc.) during installation. Compliance with this requirement is the sole responsibility of the company performing the installation. WARNING! After installation, inspect the system comprised of the mounting fixtures and loudspeakers to ensure it is properly secured. The operator of loudspeaker systems (fixed or portable) must regularly inspect or task a third party to regularly inspect all system components in accordance with the given country’s regulations and have possible defects repaired immediately. We also strongly recommend maintaining a logbook or the like to document all inspections. When installing speakers for longer lasting or permanent outdoor operation, be sure to take into account the stability and load- bearing capacity of platforms and surfaces; loads and forces exerted by wind, snow, and ice; as well as thermal influences. Also be sure to provide sufficient safety margins for the rigging points used for flown systems. Observe the given national regulations when doing so.

• Ask the manufacturer if your product is allowed for outdoor usage ! Professional loudspeaker systems can produce harmful volume levels. Even prolonged exposure to seemingly harmless levels (starting at about 95 dBA SPL) can cause permanent hearing damage! Therefore we recommend that everyone who is exposed to high volume levels produced by loudspeaker systems wears professional hearing protection (earplugs or earmuffs).

1 General Information The two E 435 and E 435 A ELEMENTS INSTALL KITs consist of ELEMENT modules that have been modified for installation. Wall mounts are included. The INSTALL KIT may be extended with standard ELEMENTS E 435 and E 835 mid/high units. The mounting fixture lets you aim the speakers horizontally at any angle +/-90°.1.1. InventoryThe table below lists the parts that come with the ELEMENTS INSTALL KIT for passive and active ELEMENT modules:

10 ELEMENTS E 435 IL-U (pictured on page 2) 1 11* ELEMENTS E435 IL-O (pictured on page 2) 1 12** ELEMENTS EA 600 IL (pictured on page 2) 1 *) in Install Kit for passive units only **) in Install Kit for active units only1.2 ApplicationThe ELEMENTS INSTALL KIT is designed for one purpose only – attaching Elements components to a wall. It is the responsibility of the person installing the units to ensure the given walls and selected pick-points are sound and able to handle the load, and that suitable screws and dowels are used. 2 Components 2.1 The E 435 Mid/High UnitThe E 435 mid/high unit is loaded with four 3.5" high-performance speakers developed specifically for ELEMENTS. These four vertically arrayed speakers achieve a very even pattern of throw, with the volume, frequency spectrum, and audio image remaining uniform throughout the audience area. One column made up of passive units may comprise up to six E 435 mid/high units (and four E 435s with the Install Kit for active units), which are quickly and reliably connected via the E-Connect coupler.2.2 The EA 600 IL AmpHoused in an enclosure that shares the same design as the E 435 mid/high unit, the EA 600 IL amp module delivers 600 watts at 4 ohms. You can use it to drive up to four E 435 mid/high units. The power amp module is ventilated from the front. Connections and Control Features: 1 Mid/ High Filter with four LED indicatorsTwist this rotary selector to select the correct EQ setting for one to four connected E 435 mid/high units. Set the switch to 2 when connecting two E 435 mid/high units; set it to 4 when connecting four mid/high units. The four LEDs indicate the selected EQ setting - one LED lights up to show the EQ setting for one mid/high unit; two LEDs light up for the EQ for two mid/high units, and so forth. The unit of measure for this display is the smaller of the ELEMENTS mid/high units; that is, the E 435. The E 835 mid/high unit is twice as large and therefore counts as two E 435s.2 Sensitivity Switch Use this selector to match the preamp’s input gain to the mixer’s output signal level. Engage it to select either -10 dBu, for example, for unbalanced ¼” (6.3 mm) jacks and consumer level devices, or + 4 dBu, which is standard for balanced XLR ports, professional mixers, and the like. Our recommendation: Select +4 dB when using a mixer equipped with balanced outputs. This lets you take advantage of console faders’ full control range and helps prevent overloads. Opt for -10 dB when using a console with a lower output level (such as an unbalanced ¼” (6.3 mm) output).Heads up: When using several amps in the same system, be sure to set all their Sensitivity switches to the same position; that is, +4 dBu or -10 dBu. 3 Status LEDThis dual-color LED shows the signal’s status: green = signal; red = limiter. The LED lights up red when amp’s incoming signal level is too high or there is an error. If it lights up red brie y or intermittently, this simply indicates that the limiter is responding to signal peaks. Caution! The system is being overloaded if the Status LED is constantly in the red. If the LED remains red but no audio signal is audible, there is an error.4 Combination XLR/¼” (6.3 mm) jackThis dual-purpose port accepts both XLR and ¼” (6.3 mm) jack plugs. Use a mic cord equipped with XLR connectors to route the signal from your mixer (via master left/right, line out, or a similar circuit) to the balanced inputs. The XLR connectors’ pin assignments must be as follows: 1= ground, 2= +, 3= -. You may also use a ¼” (6.3 mm) stereo jack plug to route signals via balanced circuits. Unbalanced signals can be patched in via a mono plug.

5 Through Port This parallel output routes the line signal on to further EA600 IL amps or other components such as active monitors, monitor power amps, and the like via a cord equipped with XLR connectors. 6 Speaker Out This Speakon NL4 output is not used in conjunction with the Install Kit E 435 A. 7 Power Switch When you switch the system’s amp on, the Signal LED lights up red for about five seconds and then changes to green, indicating the amp is ready to operate. 8 Mains Input Use the factory-included IEC cord to connect this socket to a wall outlet. Note: The EA 600 IL is equipped with a V-Lock mains cord retainer. If you use an optionally available Volex locking cord or another brand of cord with a compatible design, you can lock the mains cord in place to prevent accidental disconnection. Caution! Make sure the local mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the EA 600 IL. Connecting it to the wrong mains voltage may destroy its electronic components.

The E-Connect audio bus/ mechanical coupler connects ELEMENTS components without any additional loudspeaker cords. The mid/high unit’s E-Connect shaft has a detent button that locks in place in the other unit’s E-Connect sleeve. This coupler connects the two components mechanically and the integrated bus routes the audio signal through without requiring any outside cords. To separate the two components, press the detent button and disengage the two modules. 3 Mounting You will need these tools to proceed:

• Phillips head screwdriver

• 13 mm SW open-end wrench

• 5 mm hex key Mounting units using a) up to four 5 mm screws or b) one or two 8 mm screws Screw the two mounting brackets (2) to the wall, spacing them vertically to match the number and size of the Elements module you want to mount (see page 3 for dimensions). Install Kit for passive units only: Attach the terminal block (9) with the included screw to the retaining plate (3), which will later be mounted on top. Attach the retaining plates (3) to the cover and base of the Install Kit using the M8 bolts (8), washers (7) and spacer sleeves. Install Kit for passive units only: Insert the ¼" (6.3 mm) plug into the mid/high unit’s E-Connect port. Now bolt the Install Kit with the attached retaining plates (3) to the mounting yokes. The four holes let you adjust the unit to determine the desired distance from the wall. Align the Install Kit horizontally to aim the speakers, and then tighten all screws. Install Kit for passive units only: Connect a speaker cord (not included) to the Install Kit by way of the terminal block. Use the M3 screws (4) to attach the cover plates to the two retaining plates. Mains PowerSpeaker Out
