PROJECTOR MANUAL
2. SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
2.1 Standard System
Setup/Stacking: SUB 1 – SUB 2 – MID-HIGH UNIT!
Here’s how you set up the standard system configuration: Always set up
the cabinets as illustrated in the diagram. Set
SUB 1
on the floor,
SUB 2
on
SUB 1
, and the
MID-HIGH UNIT
on top of the stack.
In this configuration, the subwoofers form a full horn and provide the
greatest possible output.
If at all possible, be sure to place the system on a raised platform or stage
so that the mid-high unit is situated above the heads of the audience.
We recommend a platform with a height of about 2 to 3 feet, or 0.5 to
1 meters, depending on the size of the venue and how far you want the
system to project. The rule of thumb is, the longer the venue or greater
the distance you want to cover, the higher you should position the
MID-
HIGH UNITS
. To aid in positioning, we offer the
PROJECTOR
Tilt Unit as
an option, which lets you adjust the angle of the
MID-HIGH UNIT
with
greater precision so that it faces the audience directly (more on this in the
following section).
2.2 Standard System with Tilt Unit
PROJECTOR Tilt Unit
(Cabinets with serial number 317961 and higher are factory-equipped
with mounting units. For all
PROJECTOR
cabinets with lower serial
numbers HK Audio provides a retrofit kit with instructions and all
required parts.)
The Tilt Unit (see the diagram) is a practical tool designed to assist in
aiming stacked
PROJECTOR MID-HIGH UNITS
directly at the area that
you want the system to cover. This ensures that the sonic energy projected
by the system can be used more effectively. The Tilt Unit offers three
angles of tilt: 5°, 10° and 15°. These options let you adjust the
MID-HIGH UNITS
to match the venue and the given position of the
PROJECTOR
system. For example, if the system is set on a relatively high
platform (one meter or higher), you should select tilt angles of 10° or 15°
for shorter distances, and 5° for longer distances (e.g. in a big tent or
long hall). If the system is set on a low platform, for example at a height
of 0.2 to 0.6 meters (1 - 2 ft.), you should tilt the mid-high units at an
angle no greater than 5° to 10°.
