User Manual
Note: The above data will be filled out prior to shipment, depending on the quantity or intended usage
specified in each order.
1. 18-inch neodymium driver produces deep bass with lightweight enclosure.
2. Durable elastomer surround with special coating produces quick, impactful lows.
3. Symmetrical magnetics minimize harmonic distortion.
4. Waterproof, weatherproof and corrosion resistant PU coating to extend lifespan in various environments.

VII. Safety Instructions
Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing Takstar ECA-102 Dual 10" Line Array Speaker, paired with the ECA-181 Subwoofer. To
better understand and use the product, please read this manual thoroughly. If you have any questions or
suggestions, please contact our local sales outlet.
1. Two 10-inch woofers and one 75-mm neodymium compression tweeter for wide frequency response and strong
propagation.
2. Switchable crossover design allows flexible system setup.
3. Waterproof, weatherproof and corrosion resistant PU coating to extend lifespan in various environments.
4. Woofer with specially-coated elastomer surround produces quick mid-bass response.
5. Polyimide dome tweeter delivers precise, smooth highs.
6. Waveguide horn controls vertical dispersion for linear sound source over distance.
7. Symmetrical magnetics minimize harmonic distortion.
8. Crossover uses low-loss components like OFC air-core inductors, PET and CBB capacitors for stable, quality sound.
9. Trapezoidal enclosure with interior sound-absorbing material that reduces standing waves and improves
mid-bass performance. Compact, rigid design connects securely with swivel brackets and adjustable 0-10° vertical
angle in five steps.

External Crossover Mode (BIAMP)
1. Left and right channels each with 2 subwoofers and 4 full-range speakers. Each subwoofer is 8 Ω, connect pairs
in parallel for 4 Ω total impedance. And connect remaining four full-range speakers in pairs in parallel for 4 Ω LF
and HF driver impedance.
2. Use the following power amplifiers: Two 300W 2-channel amplifiers (mono mode) for left and right highs (HF).
Two 800W 2-channel amplifiers (mono mode) for left and right mids/lows (MFLF). One 1000W 2-channel
amplifier (stereo mode) for all four subwoofers.
3. Subwoofers use two-core audio cable connected to speaker terminal Pin 1+/1-, with black wire to 1-.
4. Full-range speaker must use four-core cables with 4-pin connector. For example, if the four cores are of brown,
black, yellow and blue colors, use two colors as a pair (choose any two colors in pairs if different from the
example here). Say, yellow & blue wires each to connector Pin 1+/1- (for MFLF), brown & black to Pin 2+/2- (for
HF), and follow the same color-combination wiring across all speakers. Make sure to connect the cables correctly
to avoid damaging the speakers or amplifier.
