GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for having chosen a PROEL product. FLASH5 V2 sharing the same stylish design, hi-tech engineering and
superior sound quality of the FLASH family, is the most compact model of the series, designed for a variety or sound
reinforcement applica ons where a full bandwidth, ultra-compact speaker is required.
FLASH5 V2 is a 2-way system featuring studio-grade transducers in a small-size polypropylene cabinet. A high-
fi
delity
dome tweeter mounted on an ellip cal waveguide is coupled to a 5" woofer with PP cone, providing a detailed and
smooth high frequency response, together with deep and extended lows. The system is available both in ac ve and
passive version, featuring a compact but powerful 100W bi-amp module or an accurately designed crossover
fi
lter.
The trapezoidal cabinet, that allows the use also as a wedge monitor, features three M6 threaded points for using
dedicated accessories for installa on and a convenient handle for transport. The available accessories include a C-shape
metal bracket, an adapter for microphone stand and a versa le plas c bracket with 2-axys rota on (only for passive
version).
The bi-amp module of the ac ve version includes a 20W sec on for the tweeter and a 80W CLASS D amp for the woofer,
with a carefully designed ac ve crossover for the frequency separa on. 2 selectable presets of ac ve EQ provide the
op mal frequency response for a NEARFIELD use as a PC or DESKTOP speaker or for a MIDFIELD use as a musician
MONITOR, an INSTALLATION speaker or a PORTABLE DJ or LIVE system (with SW110A sub-woofer). A DUAL CLIP LIMITER
for the speaker protec on and a complete set of connec ons (XLR, 1/4" JACK and RCA) are also available.
INSTRUCTIONS (FIG. 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5)
1. LINE IN (XLR input)
This is a female XLR connector, which accepts a XLR plug from almost any type of equipment with a balanced or
unbalanced line level outputs. The XLR input is wired as follows:
Pin 1 = shield or ground
Pin 2 = + posi ve or "hot"
Pin 3 = - nega ve or "cold"
2. LINE IN (JACK input)
This is a female JACK connector, which accepts a JACK plug from almost any type of equipment with a balanced or
unbalanced line level outputs. The JACK input is wired as follows:
Tip = + posi ve or "hot"
Ring = - nega ve or "cold"
Sleeve = shield or ground
When connec ng an unbalanced signal, wire them as follows:
Pin2 / Tip = + posi ve or "hot"
Pin 1-3 / Sleeve = shield or ground
NOTE: Whenever possible, use always balanced cables. Unbalanced lines may also be used but may result in noise over
long cable runs. In any case, avoid using a balanced cable for one channel and an unbalanced one for the other.
NOTE: the XLR input connector and the JACK input connector are wired in parallel, so if the XLR connector is used as input
you can use the JACK connector to link another speaker.
3. LINE IN (RCA unbalanced)
These two RCA connectors are wired in parallel, so one can be used for the input and the other for linking another
speaker. The sensi vity is 10dB higher than XLR and JACK, so the RCAs can be used for connec ng consumer electronics,
such as computers or CD/MP3 players. The RCA connectors are wired as follows:
Tip = + posi ve or "hot"
Sleeve = shield or ground
NOTE: Do not use RCA input to connect a professional equipment, due to its higher sensi vity.
NOTE: Do not use RCA input for long cable runs, due to its na ve unbalanced con
fi
gura on.
NOTE: Do not use RCA to link two or more speakers with the XLR/JACK as input or viceversa, the internal circuitry of
those inputs are di
ff
erent.
4. GND LIFT switch
This switch li the ground of the balanced audio inputs from the earth-ground of the ampli
fi
er. If you have HUM noise
problem on one or more loudspeaker try to change the posi on of these switches (o en all up or all down for all the
ampli
fi
ers in the system). Please note that to have an e
ff
ect all cables must be balanced.
5. LINE LEVEL control
