MECHANICAL AND ACOUSTIC CHARACTERISTICS

DIMENSIONS ACOUSTIC COVERAGE INGENIA IG3T integrates, in a reinforced polypropylene cabinet weighing 20.8 kg (45.86 lbs), two 10” woofers and a one 1.4” compression driver exit (voice coil: 3”) with neodymium magnets featuring exceptional compactness, weight and performances. Internally, a lightweight metal structure improves mechanical rigidity and acoustic behaviour. The dimensions of each individual speaker are: 280 x 806 x 393 mm (11.02 x 31.73 x 15.47 inches). The handles allow to easily transport it; the unit can be displaced by a single person. Different congurations are possible, e.g. mounting on subwoofer, possibility to suspend a single or double speaker. The special opening of the horn, outlined in the gure, ensures a total directivity of 110 x 90° (+20°/- 70°). This asymmetric vertical directivity ensures excellent sound coverage, in indoor and outdoor contexts. Using 2 stacked IG3Ts, you can also control with the digital steering the full coverage of the speakers. This allows, even installing the IG3Ts vertically, to achieve the effect of a single inclined speaker, with all the ensuing benets in terms of directivity. English43 INGENIA IG3T Cod. 420120239 REV. 1.1 ACCESSORIES The following optional accessories are available for quick installation:

• A specially designed bag (TC-IG3T) and a rain cover (RC-M1) are available for speaker transport and protection. Fly Bar DRK-IG LP-IG Locking Bracket

• Never use the handles to suspend the speaker! WARNING!44 INGENIA IG3T Cod. 420120239 REV. 1.1 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AMPLIFICATION AND CONTROL SECTION The D-class latest generation digital amplier DIGIPRO G3 is the core of IG3T and can provide a sound power of 900 W RMS. Thanks to a switching power supply section featuring a particularly efcient auto-range function, the system is quiet, as it requires no active cooling system. The system is controlled by a powerful DSP, allowing to dene different parameters, as well as to automatically manage the communication between the modules, in case of conguration with 2 stacked speakers. In the latter case, the DSP individually controls the acoustic components, to obtain a congurable directional sound focus (digital steering). The DIGIPRO G3 panel consists of: ATTENTION!

• Protect the module from humidity.

• Never try to open the amplier.

• In case of malfunction, immediately cut off the power supply, by disconnecting the module from the mains, then contact an authorised repairman.

To properly install the INGENIA IG3T speaker: English49 INGENIA IG3T Cod. 420120239 REV. 1.1 CONNECTING OUTPUTS BETWEEN MULTIPLE MODULES (power supply linking) English NOTE FOR THE INSTALLER (100-120V). The nameplate data on the speaker panel refer to (and are limited to) the cable provided. If you do not use the supplied cable, the maximum allowed limits of currents (and powers) of LINK are indicated in the following table: Model Current (100-120 V) Powers (100-120 V) IG3T (100-120 V) 14 A 1600 W The cables must be properly sized and design, installation and system testing should be performed exclusively by qualied personnel. A.E.B. Industriale accepts no responsibility in case of use of cables which are unsuitable, non-certied, non-compatible with the correct system sizing and the regulations in force in the country of use.

INGENIA IG3T Cod. 420120239 REV. 1.1 CONNECTING OUTPUTS BETWEEN MULTIPLE MODULES (audio signal linking) AUDIO INPUT The use of Neutrik® PowerCON TRUE1® connectors on IG3T allows to link the power supply of the rst speaker with a subsequent one, up to a maximum current of 13 A (3000 W) for the countries where voltage is 220-240Vac, and of 10 A (1200 W), for the countries where voltage is 100-120Vac. To make this type of connection, simply plug the power cord supplied to the MAINS INPUT (8) of the rst IG3T and connect the cable LINK powerCON TRUE1® (optional) between the MAIN LINK output (9) and the MAINS INPUT (8) of the next IG3T. It is possible to repeat this type of connection until it is achieved the maximum allowed current as indicated by the MAINS LINK connector (9) of the rst speaker. To connect 2 or more speakers to the same audio source, it may be useful, in some installation congurations, to link the signal from the rst one to a second one and so on. First of all connect a sound source of any type to the “INPUT” input (6) of the rst speaker (for the “LINE” or “MIC” connection, which is different, please refer to section CONNECTING THE INPUTS). Using a balanced XLR cable, then, connect the “LINK” output (5) of the rst speaker to the “INPUT” input (6) of the second one. This second operation can then be repeated to connect other speakers, to get the installation layout that is the most appropriate for the context. LINK CAUTION! The maximum allowed current indicated on the rating plate of IG3T (MAIN LINK) is calculated from the specication of the maximum current of the PowerCON TRUE1 ® connector; this value is not absolute but depends on the type of cable used for the connection to the power grid of the rst IG3T (section and type of plug used) and on the subsequent LINK cables (section and type of cable). Always check during the design and sizing stage of the system and before making any connections in series among the products, the maximum allowable currents (and powers) and the exact sizing of the sections of the cables used. English51 INGENIA IG3T Cod. 420120239 REV. 1.1 USE OF A PAIR OF STACKED IG3T SPEAKERS To properly couple and then use two stacked IG3T speakers, you need a pair of LP-IG connecting brackets. For further details please refer to the instructions of this accessory. Once the two speakers are properly mounted, the infra-red detection system installed on the handles activates automatically; the user will just have to run the check in the initial conguration menus, that will be discussed in the next chapter. ATTENTION!

• Only 2 identical speakers can be installed, interconnected and detected through the infra-red ports.

The push rotary encoder (3) allows the user both to perform a selection by turning it and to conrm a selection by pressing it. These operations allow to navigate the menus and sub-menus available on the OLED display (2). Inside the menus and sub-menus, turning the encoder to the right or to the left also allows to increase or decrease the selected values. The initial screen at switch-off displays the IG3T level and gain. All settings can be protected by a password. At switch-on, the IG3T display shows the initial screen, indicating the GAIN and the signal level, simulating a VU METER.

• Once manually performed, the settings remain stored even after the speaker has been switched off.

• After approximately one minute has elapsed since the last selection or conrmation, the system returns to the initial screen (IG3T level/gain). The user can also return to the initial screen from any point, in 2 ways:

3. CONTROL PANEL AND SETTING MENUS

• If the speakers are 2 and installed in a stacked conguration, the system detects them and automatically assigns the control of both to the amplier which is being operated. This allows to perform an adjustment that will apply and can be stored for the whole system, irrespective of the rotary that is being operated (mirroring OLED) . a. by selecting and conrming, when existing in a sub-menu, the symbol b. by holding the push rotary encoder pressed for a few seconds Push rotary encoder use examples English53 INGENIA IG3T Cod. 420120239 REV. 1.1 From this screen, pressing the rotary push encoder allows to access the different menus, whose general structure is shown in the gure. ATTENTION!

• The “SYSTEM COVERAGE” menu is only displayed when the menu has automatically detected, through the infra-red ports installed on the handles, that there are 2 stacked speakers, properly installed.

• The “SUBWOOFER MATCHING” menu is only displayed when the presence of a subwoofer has been selected in the settings, otherwise it shall not be displayed, as it is unnecessary to the user. The Structure of Menus English54 INGENIA IG3T Cod. 420120239 REV. 1.1 The main menu structure can be represented in a circular form, as the push rotary encoder allows to browse the menus by rotating it both to the left and to the right. Circular form representation English55 INGENIA IG3T Cod. 420120239 REV. 1.1 This menu automatically congures the system according to the number of speakers, to the presence or absence of a subwoofer, as well as to the location and inclination of the speakers. It consists of 3 sub- menus: The system can detect, through infra-red communication (the communication ports are installed on the speaker handles and detection is automatic) whether the user is using one or two IG3T speakers. After accessing this screen: The menu allows to manually update the conguration of the system in use, adding or removing one or more subwoofers. If you need to update the number of connected subwoofers:

1. Turn the rotary encoder selecting Selfcheck System, then conrm the choice by pressing the push rotary

2. After a short animation, the system automatically switches to the next menu (SYSTEM STRUCTURE).

3. If this operation doesn’t need to be performed, select and conrm NEXT; if you need to return to the main

screen, select and conrm BACK

1. turn the rotary encoder, select the “subwoofer” item and conrm it

2. select and conrm the number of subwoofers you want to use

SYSTEM CHECK SYSTEM STRUCTURE Build System Menu Sub-menus English56 INGENIA IG3T Cod. 420120239 REV. 1.1 The system types available when using the IG3T are 2: In the “Stacked” conguration an IG3T speaker rests on a stand, or one or 2 speakers rest on a subwoofer (see chapter INSTALLATION EXAMPLES); in the “Flown” conguration, instead, one or two IG3T speakers are hanging. After accessing the SYSTEM TYPE menu, then: This menu allows to save and then recall the system usage congurations. Even though at switch-off the IG3T retains all the information about the latest settings, it may be useful to have at one’s disposal, for different contexts, a previously saved batch of appropriate settings, and to be able to quickly reload them. To this purpose, IG3T allows to save and rename 5 batches of settings, using the “SAVE” function, and to recall them using the “RECALL” function. Should you later have to edit the settings stored in one of the memory slots, you can later overwrite the previously saved slots.

• Select and conrm the desired mode, choosing between “Stacked” and “Flown”; select and conrm NEXT to access the next screen (select and conrm BACK to return to the previous one). Now, if the system has previously detected the presence of 2 speakers, it will switch to the SYSTEM COVERAGE menu, and if the presence of a woofer has been selected in the previous SYSTEM STRUCTURE sub-menu, it will then switch to the SUBWOOFER MATCHING menu; should that not be the case (Speakers 1, Subwoofer 0) the next screen will be the initial one, and the procedure will end. SYSTEM TYPE ATTENTION!

• Never install the speaker directly resting on the ground, but always use the optional GSA-IG.

• When “Stacked” on a tripode stand, the INGENIA IG3T cannot be mounted in the conguration with 2 speakers stacked, but only in a single speaker conguration, for safety reasons.

• The acoustic correction can be used to improve intelligibility or attenuate frequencies which are predominant. It does not replace a proper speaker arrangement, which must be assessed taking into account the acoustic characteristics of the room or of the outdoor environment. Acoustic Correction Menu English58 INGENIA IG3T Cod. 420120239 REV. 1.1

In a live scenario with different sources of amplication, like guitar ampliers on the stage, or natural sound sources like a battery, you can virtually “align” the IG3T speakers, specifying the distance of the sources in question, in metres or feet. This will allow to obtain a single acoustic wavefront without any delays, in all the live scenarios where this is required. The DSP will automatically delay the IG3T signal output, increasing the performance effectiveness. To this purpose, after accessing the STAGE ALIGNMENT menu: If the IG3T speakers are used in environments requiring multiple amplication stages replicated at different distances - for example when they need to cover a particularly wide and long indoor environment, with various sound obstacles, the signal output by the speaker can be appropriately delayed, to ensure that the listener only perceives a single apparent wavefront, at any point in the room. In this case an equivalent setting in terms of time/distance can be useful.

1. Select and conrm the “DISTANCE” eld

2. Select and conrm the desired distance value, with a range of 0-15 m

and a resolution of 20 cm.

3. Return to the initial screen by selecting the “HOME” symbol

To this purpose, after accessing the SYSTEM DELAY menu:

1. Select and conrm the “DELAY” eld

2. Select and conrm the desired delay value, with a range of 0-126 ms in

terms of time or of 0-43.7 m / 0-143.4 ft (feet) in terms of distance

3. Return to the initial screen by selecting the “HOME” symbol

IG3T allows the input of a microphone with XLR connector. When using this source, it may be useful to apply a ltering to the signal to cut any unwanted frequencies (by a high-pass lter with adjustable cut frequency). Or it may be necessary to intervene (by a notch or band-stop lter with selectable band centre) to prevent any feedback (or Larsen effect). To perform one of these settings, or both of them, after accessing the MICROPHONE SETTING menu:

1. Select and conrm HP lter (high-pass lter)

2. Select and conrm the value of the high-pass lter cut frequency, with

a range of 50 Hz – 200 Hz and a resolution of 10 Hz (select the “None” value if you wish to disable the lter)

3. Select and conrm “Antifeedback” (anti-feedback or anti-Larsen effect

4. Select and conrm the value of the band centre frequency, with a

range of 260 Hz – 15000 Hz and a resolution of 10 Hz (select the “None” value if you wish to disable the lter)

INSTALLATION ON STAND

INSTALLATION ON SUBWOOFER WITH POLE

INSTALLATION ON SUBWOOFER

1 INGENIA IG3T can be installed in both stereo and mono conguration on an optional standard tripod stand, with a pole having a diameter of 35 mm. The maximum permissible height between the base of the speaker and the oor is 120 cm (47.25 in). It is possible to use a single speaker mounted on 35 mm diameter pole. Additional mechanical xing, or xing with straps, is required to properly secure the installation. The maximum permissible height between the base of the speaker and the oor is 120 cm (47.25 in). Once the installation is completed, follow the subwoofer conguration instructions in the SUBWOOFER MATCHING section. ATTENTION!

• Use an appropriately sized stand with the central foot forward to ensure proper stability.

• When “Stacked” on a tripode stand, the INGENIA IG3T cannot be mounted in the conguration with 2 speakers stacked, but only in a single speaker conguration, for safety reasons. Using the GSA-IG accessory during the installation, you can use the speakers (1 o

2) mounted on subwoofer. This allows to get an extremely compact system, with

great output power over the whole range of sound frequencies, installed on the ground. Additional mechanical xing, or xing with straps, is required to properly secure the installation. Once the installation is completed, follow the subwoofer conguration instructions in the SUBWOOFER MATCHING section. English65 INGENIA IG3T Cod. 420120239 REV. 1.1 English FLOWN INSTALLATION Flown conguration provides for the hanging of 1 or 2 IG3T speakers, where the optional accessory DRK-IG allows the use of a shackle, and the combination of DRK-IG with the optional truss adapter TA-IG allows xing on a specic device, such as a rig. When the speakers are in a own conguration, it is very advisable to use both power supply and signal linking, to reduce the complexity of connections, as shown in the “FIRST SWITCH-ON” section. ATTENTION!

• When used outdoors, anchor the speaker to prevent any oscillations due to atmospheric agents and wind.

• Never use the handles to suspend the speaker! FLOOR INSTALLATION It is possible a oor installation of 1 or 2 INGENIA IG3Ts using the accessory GSA- IG. A mechanical xing with screws or screw anchors suited to the type of ooring is required.66 INGENIA IG3T Cod. 420120239 REV. 1.1 DIGITAL STEERING Digital steering is a technology that can be suitably adopted to orientate the acoustic coverage of two stacked speakers, modifying it according to the usage context and installation. The DSP of INGENIA IG3T may operate on each individual transducer (whether compression driver or woofer), with differentiated signal output delays. This way the acoustic wavefront of 2 stacked speakers can be regarded as equivalent to that of a single angled speaker, as shown in the gure. In the setup stage, when it automatically detects the presence of 2 speakers through the infra-red ports installed on the handles, IG3T allows to modify the acoustic coverage through a specic menu, SYSTEM COVERAGE (not displayed if the speaker is in a single conguration): For any further information please refer to the section SYSTEM COVERAGE MENU.
