6. HELPFUL HINTS

1. Don’t expose electronic circuitry to moisture! When you set the system

up outdoors, be sure to protect it against rain. Keep soft drinks, beer or
any other liquids well away from the cabinets to protect their electronic
components from short circuits.

2. To assure proper ventilation, make sure that cabinets are placed a

sufficient distance away from walls and aren’t covered by curtains and
the like. This is crucial to prevent the power amps from overheating.

3. Ensure that the power amp ventilation screens always remain free of

dirt, debris and other obstructions, and that the fan can rotate freely.
Otherwise, the electronic components may overheat and the unit may
be damaged.

4.

PROJECTOR

delivers optimum sound, so you should provide it with

optimum input signals! Noise such as humming is generally caused by
defective cables, incorrectly wired cables, or unbalanced signals routed
into the mixing console. Check all signal and mains cables, use DI boxes
to balance unbalanced signals, and do everything you can to keep on-
stage noise to a minimum.

5. Prevent distortion! Not only is it unpleasant to the ears of your

audience, it can also endanger your equipment. Make sure that all
components connected (both directly and indirectly) to the 

PROJECTOR

system have sufficient power ratings and that they cannot distort
because they‘re running at their respective limits. Provide an
undistorted signal to the system that doesn’t have to be cleaned up by
backing off the GAIN knob.

6. Avoid ground loops! In spite of a balanced signal circuit, redundant

ground circuits in a single audio system may generate undesirable
humming. For example, you may encounter a ground loop when the
mixer is grounded via a mains cord which isn’t connected to the same
mains circuit as the 

PROJECTOR

system. To prevent this problem,

always be sure to connect the cabinets (or more accurately, their power
amps) and the mixing console to the same electrical circuit (same
phase!). If your equipment hums despite this precaution, the
Ground Lift switch can be of help.

CAUTION: Never use electrician’s tape or anything similar
to cover the ground contact of the plug? this endangers
lives!
