The AYRA PRO10 SUB subwoofer has a powerful 10“ composite woofer with a 2.5” double-layer moving coil driven by a True Active 300W-RMS Class D amplifier. AYRA PRO10 SUB is optimized to offer the best sound for a variety of applications. Whether you’re working with a nearfield mix in your studio or a broadcast control room, or simply need great speakers for your home entertainment system, you’ll want a clear and powerful sound. Thanks to the front bass reflex ports, AYRA PRO10 SUB directs the largest portion of energy forward, away from the rear walls. ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE PRECISION TRANSDUCERS PRODUCT INFORMATIONS Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Modifications: Any modifications made to this device that are not approved by RCF may void the authority granted to the user by the FCC to operate this equipment. FCC NOTES6 ENGLISH REAR PANEL

XLR and JACK TRS STEREO INPUT (BAL / UNBAL). The system accepts JACK TRS or XLR input connectors. These balanced inputs can be used to connect balanced or unbalanced line level audio sources.

RCA INPUT (UNBAL). The system accepts RCA input connectors. These unbalanced inputs can be used to connect unbalanced audio sources at line level.

STEREO XLR OUTPUTS (BAL). Balanced stereo outputs for connecting the monitors adopted in the system. The studio monitors connected to these outputs are subject to the action of the high pass filter (CROSSOVER KNOB -

PHASE SWITCH. This switch allows you to reverse the phase of the input signal by 180°; useful, in some cases, to correct an imperfect positioning of AYRA PRO10 SUB compared to the connected monitors.

CROSSOVER KNOB. This potentiometer allows you to select the crossover frequency between the AYRA PRO10 SUB subwoofer and the connected monitors. The adjustment allows cutting frequencies from 50Hz to 120Hz, allowing the subwoofer to reproduce the selected low frequencies.

BYPASS FOOTSWITCH. Connect an unlatch footswitch to this TS jack to bypass the subwoofer function. When the subwoofer is bypassed the signal flows from stereo inputs to stereo outputs bypassing also the crossover control. Press again the footswitch to restore the subwoofer function.

MAIN POWER SWITCH. The power switch turns the AC power on and off.

ENGLISH The XLR connectors use the following AES standard: PIN 1 = GROUND (SHIELD) PIN 2 = HOT (+) PIN 3 = COLD (-) CONNECTIONS HOT GND BAL. XLR COLD AYRA PRO10 SUB has a universal internal power supply with a mains voltage selector. The switch allows you to select the mains voltage with which to power the AYRA PRO10 SUB subwoofer. With the switch positioned on the right, a mains voltage of 220 / 240V ~ 50- 60Hz is selected, with the switch positioned on the left the selected mains voltage will be 90 / 110V ~ 50-60Hz. On the rear panel there are also the input and output level controls. Insert the power connector and the signal connector, but before turning on the speaker, make sure to select the power supply voltage corresponding to that of the country where the device is used, and that the volume control is at minimum on both the speaker and the sound source connected to the speakers; it is also important that the sound source is already on when the speaker connected to it is turned on. These two precautions will prevent you from: first turning on the speakers in the presence of strong input signals (avoiding causing damage to the speaker itself but above all to people in front of it), also avoiding the annoying “bump ”caused by the switching on of the audio equipment upstream of the speakers. In fact it is a good rule that the amplified speakers and amplifiers in general are always the last equipment to be turned on and the first to be switched off at the end of their use. At this point you can turn on the speaker and raise the level control up to the marker line on the scale between “0” and “MAX”, and then correct the level as needed.

MAINS VOLTAGE SELECTOR. This switch allows you to select the mains voltage with which to power the AYRA PRO10 SUB subwoofer. With the switch on the right, select a mains voltage at 220 / 240V ~ 50-60Hz, with the switch on the left position, the selected supply voltage will be 90 / 110V ~ 50-60Hz. IMPORTANT: before use select the correct mains voltage corresponding to the one that conforms to the country in which it will be used.
