CONNECTIONS

The connection cables which connect the amplifiers output and the speaker should be of good quality, have sufficient conductor area and be as short as possible. The latter fact is especially important when the distance is long and the load impedance low (4-8 ). A cross-section of at least 2.5mm ^2 is recommended for distances up to 10m; 4 or 6mm ^2 for longer distances. Following formula gives the required section, assuming 4% losses:

$$ \text { Cross section in mm } ^ {2} = \frac {\text { Length in m }}{\text { Loudspeaker impedance in } \Omega} $$

Always respect the polarity. All models have an Euroblock connector, and a second connector (Euroblock or Speakon®, depending on model), thereby facilitating the parallel connection of speakers.

RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER

Following table shows the output power of the amplifier adequate to each acoustic system:

• ARQIS 105: between 70 and 150W RMS
• ARQIS 106: between 120 and 250W RMS
• ARQIS 108: between 150 and 300W RMS
• ARQIS 205: between 150 and 300W RMS
• ARQIS 208: between 300 and 600W RMS
• ARQIS 110: between 220 and 450W RMS
• ARQIS 112: between 340 and 700W RMS
• ARQIS SB10: between 150 and 300W RMS
• ARQIS SB15: between 600 and 1000W RMS

POSITIONING

Consider following general rules:

Place the speakers on a solid and firm surface. Subwoofers placed directly and horizontally on the ground have a higher output than hanged or directly on the floor, but vertically. No obstacles should stand between the enclosures and the audience. The high frequencies are very directive compared to the low frequencies, so that any obstacle will impair their response. In case large audiences must be addressed, a better long distance sound propagation will be achieved if the enclosures are flown high enough.

INSTALLATION

In the ARQIS series, the best way to install the enclosure was studied for each model. Each model from the ARQIS range is supplied with the optimal installation system. ARQIS205 / ARQIS208 / ARQIS110 / ARQIS 112 / ARQISSB10 / ARQISSB15 also have built-in M8 rigging points for suspension from a compatible structure or "truss" using steel cables.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The equipment must in no case be suspended using its carrying handles (if any); use the appropriate accessories for each application. Whenever a ceiling/wall mounting bracket is used, it is mandatory to add a redundant safety system. Use wire ropes, slings or chains of the appropriate diameter to prevent the fall of the speaker in case the main mounting system is pulled out.
