1 | INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing a A.N.T - Advanced Native Technologies - product!

In BBM BP/WP speaker series we have put our passion and our technological background gained over the years, to offer products that meet your needs, maintaining the quality over time.

Specifically designed for an immediate and user-friendly application, meeting the needs of those looking for a compact constant impedance or voltage (70-100V) audio system, providing excellent performance and the best value for money possible in its category.

Characterized by an elegant look and compact dimensions, these speakers are able to amplify indoors and outdoors - thanks to IP55 protection - small and medium-sized environments. All models are available in two colors, black (BBM BP) and white (BBM WP).

Are also available, specifically engineered for BBM speakers wall or ceiling installation, the bracket kits BBM WBU and BBM 358Y in black or white, as well as the SA-30/50/80 black kits specific tripod mounting.

Please, dedicate some minutes to read this instruction manual in order to quickly achieve the best performances from this product.

For safety precautions, warranty and disposal, please refer to attached Section 2.

3 | DESCRIPTION

3.1 | INPUTS & CONTROLS

1 HEADED INPUT CABLE

Connect the signal from amplifier outputs to these two wires. To ensure correct sound reproduction, the speakers must be connected in phase. Match the positive and negative polarities of the amplifier with the positive (White +) and negative (Black -) polarity of the speaker input.

2 CABLE GLAND

The cable gland guarantees IP55 protection of electrical connections inside the speaker.

3 SEALED POWER SELECTOR

IP55 Selector with seven positions for constant impedance (8Ω) or constant voltage (10W, 20W, 40W or 80W on 70V or 100V) connections. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to select the desired mode.

NOTE:

All the BBM BP/WP series speakers guarantee IP55 protection, in particular.
• Total protection against item introduction.
- Protection against liquids entry in any form like drops, vapors, sprays and weak jets of water in any direction.
• Dust and liquids intrusion must not damage the equipment.

4 | CONNECTIONS

For the installation of the speaker and to guarantee its proper operation, strictly apply the instructions below:

• It is recommended to contact qualified personnel, i.e. personnel with sufficient technical knowledge, experience or specific instructions, able of properly making the connections and preventing the dangers of electricity. The entire sound system must be made in compliance with existing standards and laws concerning electrical systems.
  • To avoid the risk of electric shock, connect the speaker with the amplification system turned off.
• Before operating the speaker, carefully check the correct connection to avoid accidental short circuits that can cause electric sparks. The speaker can be connected to 70V or 100V constant voltage (high impedance) or B Ohm constant impedance (low impedance) audio lines.

Make the connections using the White (+) and Black (-) wires in the back of the speaker. (Fig.1)

Ⓐ COM - Black (-) Ⓑ 70V/100V/8Ω - White (+)

4.1 | CONSTANT VOLTAGE SYSTEMS (Fig.2)

The input voltage of the speaker must match the voltage selected on the amplifier, and the sum of the power of all the speakers connected to the audio line must not exceed the nominal power of the amplifier.

Make the connections taking into consideration the following indications:

• Use cables of adequate section. A greater distance between the amplifier and the speakers requires larger section cables. This avoids signal losses due to line length.
  • To prevent inductive phenomena from causing buzzing and disturbs, and compromising the proper functioning of the system, the connection cables must

not be placed in the same cable duct or close to devices producing strong magnetic fields (e.g. power transformers), conductors of electricity and lines that power speakers. Furthermore, to minimize the inductive effects due to coupling with electric fields, use cables with twisted conductors.

• To ensure correct sound reproduction it is necessary to connect the speakers "in phase", I. e. the positive and negative polarities of the amplifier must correspond to the positive (70-100V) and negative (COM) polarity of the speaker input.
• To simplify the connection, it is possible to use bipolar cables with a marking (e.g. different colors) which distinguishes the polarity.

4.2 | CONSTANT IMPEDANCE SYSTEMS (Fig.3)

The total load impedance of all the speakers must be higher than nominal impedance of the amplifier and the length of the connection cables must be reduced to the minimum.

5 | TROUBLESHOOTING 6 | TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

PROBLEM SOLUTION
No sound or too low sound	Make sure that the connection cable between the speaker and the amplifier is working and properly connected.
	Make sure the loudspeaker power selector is set correctly, ie too low power has not been chosen.
Distortion	Make sure that the speaker power selector is set correctly, which means that too high power has not been chosen.
Sound quality problem Check the source signal
	Make sure the loudspeaker power selector is properly set, i.e. has not been chosen power too low or too high.
