Frequently Asked Questions - SAROS PDS8T-B-T-EACH Crestron

How do I paint the speaker and grille?

Dry brush or lightly spray the surfaces. Remove the grille material from the underside before painting and reinstall after paint dries. Mask areas that should not be painted, such as the woofer cone.

How is the grille attached and removed?

The grille is held by powerful magnets. To remove, insert the supplied pick into a side edge hole and pull away. A safety tether prevents falling. Attach the tether to the baffle with the screw and rubber boot provided.

How do I connect the speaker cable?

Route speaker cable from the source to the ceiling truss. Strip wires 1/8 to 3/16 inch. Connect to the terminal block: IN for amplifier, THRU for parallel connection. Use red for + and black for -.

How do I set the transformer tap selector?

Use a flat-head screwdriver to adjust the rotary switch on the front panel. For 70V systems, select from 3.75, 7.5, 15, 30, or 60 watts. For 100V, select from 7.5, 15, 30, or 60 watts. The X position should not be used. For 8 Ω operation, set to the 8 Ω position to bypass the transformer.

What is the power handling of this subwoofer?

The SAROS PDS8T handles 100 watts program at 8 Ω. For distributed systems, use the transformer taps to match amplifier power.

Can this subwoofer be used outdoors?

It has an IPX4 splash resistance rating, suitable for protected outdoor areas. Operating temperature is -2° to 120°F (-19° to 49°C). Avoid direct water exposure.

How do I troubleshoot no sound?

Check cable connections between amplifier and speakers. Verify the amplifier is receiving an input signal and functioning correctly. Ensure the correct input source is selected.

What should I do if there is constant noise (buzz/hum)?

Check for faulty devices in the system. Verify all devices are properly grounded. A system grounding fault can cause hum.

How do I improve poor low frequency output?

Check speaker connection polarity: ensure + on amplifier connects to + on speaker, and - to -. Incorrect polarity cancels bass.

What are the dimensions and weight?

Height: 10.58 in (269 mm), Diameter: 12.57 in (320 mm), Weight: 13.1 lb (6.0 kg).

USER MANUAL SAROS PDS8T-B-T-EACH Crestron

Saros ^1 speakers by Crestron ^2 deliver professional grade performance and flexible installation in a range of popular sizes for demanding commercial applications. Sold construction and high-end components are hallmarks of the complete Saros speaker line.

Ideal for use in background or foreground music, paging, and sound reinforcement systems, Saros speakers are engineered to achieve smooth, even coverage, high output, and clear, natural sound quality through the employment of horn-loaded titanium dome woofers. High-efficiency damped cone woofers, ported enclosures, and precisely tuned crossovers.

Saros Pendant speakers include a top cover that conceals the wiring connectors and suspension hardware for a very clean, contoured appearance. The speakers are available in white or black and can be painted to blend with the surrounding architecture.

Installation

Paint the Speaker and Grille

Speaker and grille painting should be done prior to mounting.

1. Carefully remove the material on the underside of the grille, and set it aside for reinstallation. It may be necessary to use a knife or other sharp instrument to free an edge of the material so it can be peeled away. Use care to avoid cutting or tearing the material.

2. Dry brush or lightly spray the surface to be painted. Use care to avoid clogging the holes in the grille.

3. Once the paint is dry, reinstall the material to the underside.

4 Remove the speaker top cover and paint the top cover and main speaker assembly separately, being careful to mask areas that should not be painted.

Install/Remove Grille

The zero-bezel frameless grille is held in place by powerful magnets. A safety tether is included to prevent any possibility of the grille falling from the ceiling. Attach the tether to the baffle using the supplied screw cover the screw with the rubber boot provided, and place the grille in position on the speaker. To remove the grille, insert the supplied pick accessory in one of the side edge grille holes and pull the grille away from the speaker. To remove the grille completely, disconnect the nonofilament tether from the speaker baffle.

Install Speaker Cable

Observe all local codes and install speaker cable from the audio source location to the closest ceiling truss location where a speaker will be suspended, allowing sufficient length to hang down slightly below the planned speaker height. If the speakers are to be connected in parallel, install a second cable at that location and route it to the next speaker location. Repeat this process at each speaker location.

Install Wire Rope

1. For each speaker to be installed, remove the top cover and route the free end of one of the 15 ft (\~5m) wire ropes supplied in the SPKA-ST-15 Safety Tether/Tie Down Kit up through the top cover. Connect the attached hook assembly to secure the wire rope to the speaker rigging point

2. Attach the free end of the wire rope to the ceiling bruss, adjust the length so the speaker is at the desired height, and secure it using the supplied Gripple ^1 wire rope grip. (Refer to the supplied instructions for proper use of the Gripple.)

Connect or Disconnect Speakers

1. Refer to the illustration to the right, with the top cover off to expose the supplied terminal block.

2. At each speaker location, route the speaker cable(s) hanging from the ceiling area through the top cover, and dress the cables to the wire rope using plastic cable ties.

3. If using a supplied weather boot, side the speaker cables through the weather boot. Strip the ends of the cables approximately 1/8" to 3/16" (-3 mm to -5 mm) and, if the wire is stranded, twist the strands.

4. Connect the wires from the amplifier (or the previous speaker) to the supplied terminal block, using the IN terminals; red to + and black to -. Use the THRU + and - terminals to connect the speaker wires to the next (parallel) speaker

5. Speaker removal is accomplished by reversing steps 1 through 4 above.

Set the Transformer Tap Selector Switches

NOTE: If the speakers are to be connected in parallel, the sum of the power settings for all speakers must be less than the power amplifier's power/channel rating.

The speakers are equipped with a 70V/100V matching transformer for distributed audio systems. The transformer tap selector switch on the front panel is used to set the speaker power level. Use a flat-head screwdriver to adjust the switch.

- For SAROS_PD4T 70V systems, use the left-side settings and select from 1.88, 3.75, 7.5, 15, or 30 watts.

- For SAROS_PDT 100V systems, use the right-side settings and select from 3.75, 7.5, 15, or 30 walls. The X position should not be used.

- For SAROS_PD8T, SAROS_PD8T and SAROS_PDS8T 70V systems, use the left-side settings and select from 3.75, 7.5, 15, 30, or 60 watts.

- For SAROS_PD6T, SAROS_PD8T and SAROS_PDS8T 100V systems, use the right-side settings and select from 7.5, 15, 30, or 60 watts. The X position should not be used.

The switch may also be set to 8 Ω operation, bypassing the transformer completely. This setting should be used only for 8 Ω audio systems.
