INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of an iSK Deluxe Active
Loudspeaker. The iSK’s visually stunning vertical curvature
enhances audio dispersion and works with internal bracings
to increase structural strength and to minimize diffraction.
Phonic’s proprietary Wing-Guide™ horn, developed using
computer-aided modeling, offers extremely balanced
dispersion and low distortion even at high volumes. The
development team also crafted 1" and 1.8’’ pure titanium
compression tweeters and long-throw composite woofers
to ensure the iSK’s sound quality matches its stunning
cosmetics.
The iSK series is the most versatile in its class, dual angle
pole-mounts (iSK8A Deluxe / iSK10A Deluxe / iSK12A
Deluxe / iSK15A Deluxe), and a 45° floor monitor position
for two-way models. Finally, the iSK is incredibly durable
with professional-grade carpeting, ergonomic metal
handles, and thick 20mm Grade-A MDF panels. With an
unsurpassed audio response, sensational power handling,
and extensive mounting possibilities, the iSK establishes
a new benchmark.

EQUALIZATION
The iSK speakers are design to perfectly reproduce all
audio signals as sent by your amplifier or powered mixer. As
such, your equalization efforts do not need to take speaker
response into account, rather your main concentration
should be on the acoustics of the venue. All units, with
exception to the iSK18SBA Deluxe, offer a high and low
EQ control that can help contour your signal to the venue.
These can be used in conjunction with your setup's graphic
equalizer to help maintain the best possible response for
your setup.
CONNECTION
The iSK speakers are equipped with XLR and 1/4"
phone jack connectors on the rear of the speaker. The
input connectors on each unit should be connected to
an appropriate output device such as an analog mixer or
microphone. The Pre-Gain Mix output connector can be
used to run two (or more) speakers in parallel.
OPERATION
When making a connection, be sure to turn off the
iSK speaker and the input and output devices you are
connecting it to. Once connections are made, turn on any
input devices followed by the speaker (with all channels
set to the zero position). You can then turn the volume up
as you see fit.
