Rainbow CS 275.28 Platinum active Installation Manual Download Page 4

 

Attention: Important Operational Information. Please Read Before Installation. 

 

  The loudspeaker may be operated only with the system-synchronized crossover and under observance of the 

specified rated output power. 

 

Interchanging the woofer and tweeter connections will lead to immediate destruction of the tweeter. 

 

Beginning operation without the crossover, for example with an active crossover or non-system crossover, may 
result in damage to the loudspeaker. 

  When connecting the loudspeaker, crossover, and amplifier it is absolutely necessary to employ the same 

polarity. Interchanging the polarity produces an unnatural sound lacking bass reproduction. 

  The component systems are acoustically synchronized as one unit. Supplementation through an auxiliary 

loudspeaker or trade out with a larger woofer is not possible as this would change the overall frequency 
response or impedance of the system. An overload of the crossover or a single loudspeaker would then be 
unavoidable. 

 

The opening of the crossover for the purpose of altering the parts or function is considered foreign interference 
and grounds for termination of the warranty  

  For the purpose of technical safety, the loudspeaker should only be attached with the included self-tapping 

screws. We accept no liability for use of alternative methods of attachment.
