If you install the active monitor loudspeaker at an elevated position or stack loudspeak-
ers on top of one another, the loudspeakers must be secured with appropriate securing
devices. When doing so, ensure that the fastening material and the anchoring area are
suf
fi
ciently dimensioned.
Serious injury to persons can be caused if the loudspeaker box falls down. Therefore,
the loudspeaker must be secured by experienced and trained personnel.
Do not suspend the active monitor loudspeaker box from the carrying handles or any
other
fi
ttings.
• Set up the active monitor loudspeaker at the desired location.
• Align the sound outlet as desired.
Connection of Signal Input and Output
When connecting the signal input and output, make sure that the connection cables are
not pinched or damaged by sharp edges.
Only connect the input to low-level audio outputs on audio devices.
Both the active monitor loudspeaker box and the device it is connected to must be
switched off while making the connection.
Always use suitably shielded audio cables to connect inputs and outputs. The use of
incorrect cables may lead to interference.
In order to prevent distortion and mismatching, which could cause damage to the active
monitor loudspeaker, only connect audio devices with appropriate outputs.
Lay the connection cables so that they do not present a tripping hazard.
• Connect LINE IN (1) to the pre-ampli
fi
er of the upstream audio device (e.g. mixer). A 6.3 mm TRS connector
or an XLR connector can be connected to this port.
• Connect LINE OUT (2) with the input of another device that will receive the same signal as the active moni-
tor loudspeaker.
Mains Connection
The mains socket to which the active monitor loudspeaker is connected, must be easily
accessible so the device can be quickly unplugged from the mains voltage in the case
of a fault.
The active monitor loudspeaker and all connected devices must be turned off when
connecting the voltage supply.
Ensure that all the electrical connections and connection cables between the different
devices and any extension cables comply with the regulations and comply with the oper-
ating instructions.
• Insert the IEC connector on the mains cable into the mains connection (8).
• Plug the power plug of the power supply cable into a wall socket.
• The POWER switch (7) is used to switch the power supply to the active monitor loudspeaker on and off.
Position “O”: the power supply is turned off.
Position “I”: the power supply is turned on.
• Using the POWER MODE (6) switch, the device is turned on or the automatic start is activated.
Position
“AUTO”:
The device switches on automatically, when there is a signal at the connection LINE IN (1).
The device turns off automatically, after a period without any signal at the input LINE IN (1).
Position
ON:
Device is switched on permanently.
• When the device is switched on, the POWER display (4) lights up green, when the device is switched off
(standby mode), it lights up red.
Getting Started and Operation
Only put the appliance into operation when you have familiarised yourself with its fea-
tures and these operating instructions. Check again that all the connections are correct.
Do not use the product, if it is damaged.
The active monitor loudspeaker should always be the last to be turned on and the
fi
rst
to be turned off. In this way you prevent any undesired noise, which typically can occur
when switching off a mixer, from damaging the active monitor loudspeaker.
The device may only be operated by persons familiar with the operating instructions.
Keep other persons and children away from the device.
• Turn the control LEVEL (3) all the way down (to the left).
• Switch on the connected mixer and start the playback.
• Turn on the active/monitor loudspeaker with the POWER switch (7).
• With the switch POWER MODE (6), set the desired operating mode (see “Mains Supply”).
• Adjust the volume on the mixer to about 75% of the maximum volume or to the maximum undistorted level
(visible on devices with recording level displays and “0 dB” labelling).
• Adjust the volume of the active monitor loudspeaker, using the LEVEL control (3), to the desired maximum
volume. The OVERLOAD indicator (5) should only light up brie
fl
y. If it lights permanently, the volume is set
too high.
• This setting enables a high signal-to-noise ratio and provides the best audio quality.
• After this basic setting, the volume is set by using just the volume control on the mixer. The set-up procedure
needs to be repeated with every change to the circuit.
Maintenance and Care
The active monitor loudspeaker does not require any maintenance.
Only clean the outside with a dry or slightly moistened cloth. Make sure not to touch the sensitive speaker
membranes.
Never use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions as the carpet cover or the membrane could be
damaged.
Fuse replacement
If fuses have to be changed, make sure that they are only replaced with fuses of the same type and rated
current (refer to the “Technical Data”).
Do not repair fuses or bridge the fuse holders.
• Only unplug the IEC connector from the mains connection (8) on the device after disconnecting it from the
mains (unplug at the socket). Pry out the fuse holder (8) with the defective fuse on the mains connection.
• Remove the defective fuse and replace it with a fuse of the same type.
• Now, carefully replace the fuse holder with the new fuse.
• Afterward, reconnect the mains cable to the device and plug into a socket.
Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable waste materials and must not be disposed of in the household
waste!
