CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS
1)
" BALANCED INPUT” INPUT CONNECTOR
Balanced input at line level. Accepts “XLR” sockets.
2)
"BALANCED LINK/OUT ” OUTPUT CONNECTOR
The “XLR” connector connected in parallel with input (1) can be used to send the
input audio signal to another active speaker.
3)
“LIMITER” INDICATOR LIGHT
This indicator shows red to indicate that the internal limiter circuit has tripped.
This prevents amplifier distortion and protects the speakers against overloads.
4)
“SIGNAL” INDICATOR LIGHT
This indicator showscomes on green to indicate the presence of the audio signal (at
a level of -20dB).
5)
“MUTE” INDICATOR LIGHT
This yellow indicator indicates amplifier status.
The LED is off in normal operating conditions.
6)
“READY” INDICATOR LIGHT
This indicator shows green to indicate that the main power voltage is correct.
The LED shows green in normal operating conditions
7)
“INPUT SENS” INPUT SENSITIVITY CONTROL
This control adjusts the sensitivity of the signal amplifier input.
This control does not affect the “BALANCED LINK/OUT” output level
FLEXSYS F212
8)
"MODE" SWITCH
This two-way switch allow to choose between two different system presets.
The “SINGLE SPEAKER” position allows linear response when one single speaker
is used.
The “CLUSTERED SPEAKER” position reduces the medium-bass frequencies
which are coupling by the side-by-side attachment of several speakers.
9)
"MAINS INPUT" POWER SOCKET
For connecting the power cable provided.
The connector used for mains connection is a POWER CON® (blue) socket
10)
“MAINS OUTPUT LINK” POWER SOCKET
For linking the mains power. The output is connected in parallel with input (9) and
can be used to power another active speaker.
The connector is a POWER CON® (grey) socket
11)
"MAINS FUSE" FUSE CARRIER
Mains fuse housing.
FLEXSYS F315
8)
"MODE" SWITCH
This two-way switch allows to choose between two different system presets.
The “FLAT” position allows linear response of the speaker, which is mainly suitable
for the “live” application in closed rooms.
The “PROCESSED” position increases the low frequencies and it is suitable for
music play back or for the use in open air applications.
9)
POWER CABLE SOCKET “MAINS INPUT”
Used for connecting the power cable supplied.
10)
FUSE CARRIER “MAINS FUSE”
Mains fuse housing.
11)
POWER SWITCH “POWER”
Switches the active speaker on and off.
CHARACTERISTICS
Front Grille
The speakers’s components in the buffle are protected by 1.5mm metal steel grille covered
by foam on backside.
Cooling
The amplifier is cooled by means of the aluminium panel placed on the back of the speaker.
The thermal protection is ensured by an internal circuit which controls the temperature of
the amplifier and protects this against any risk of overheating thus limiting the general
volume ( temperature >70°C).
If the temperature reaches the maximum operating temperature (>80°C), the audio signal
is set to the “MUTE” position and it will be indicated by the switching on of the yellow
“MUTE” LED.
The requiriered volume and all functions will be restored automatically when the normal
operating temperatures are reached.
Protection
When the yellow “MUTE” LED turns on, it means that a malfunction has been detected on
the speaker, thus setting this to the mute position.
Perform the checks listed below:
-
Check if the speaker is properly connected to the power supply.
-
Make sure that the power supply is of correct voltage.
-
Check that the amplifier is not overheated.
-
Disconnect the speaker from the mains power supply, wait for a few minutes and
connect it again.
If after these tests the yellow “MUTE” LED is still on, please contact an authorised service
centre.
CONNECTIONS (Only for FLEXSYS F212)
Connecting to the mains supply
Each active speaker features its own power cable. Connection is done by a Neutrik
POWER CON® (blue) model which permits easy and fast connection to the speaker as
well as being an excellent locking system.
The same connector serves as a switch to turn ON and OFF the active loudspeaker by
turning the connector to the left (OFF) or right (ON).
The active speaker must be connected to a power supply able to deliver the maximum
required power.
Main power supply linking
On the rear of the speaker, a Neutrik POWER CON® connector (grey) offers linking the
mains power supply.
This socket links the power supply to another speaker, thereby reducing the direct
connections to the mains. Maximum amplifier input power is shown on the amplifier panel.
The maximum number of speakers connected together varies of max input power and of
the maximum allowed current of the first power socket.
