The AUDAC WX802 is a professional audio wall speaker designed for various sound reinforcement applications. This user manual and installation guide provides essential information for its safe and effective use, covering installation, connection, power settings, and technical specifications.

Function Description

The WX802 is a wall-mounted loudspeaker intended for use with an amplifier. It is designed to deliver clear and consistent audio output in a variety of environments. The speaker features an adjustable power/impedance setting, making it versatile for both low-impedance (16 Ohm) and high-impedance (100V or 70.7V) constant voltage systems. Its robust construction and flexible mounting options allow for both horizontal and vertical installation, adapting to different architectural and acoustic requirements.

Usage Features

The WX802 is designed with user-friendly features for installation and operation:

Flexible Mounting: The loudspeaker can be mounted both horizontally and vertically using the supplied mounting bracket. The bracket is detachable for easier installation, and the mounting holes are spaced 248 mm apart for stable fastening with two screws.
Adjustable Power Settings: A recessed adjuster screw on the rear side allows users to select from four power/impedance settings:
1. 16 Ohm / 70 Watt (for low impedance applications)
2. 60 Watt / 167 Ohm (for 100V constant voltage systems)
3. 30 Watt / 333 Ohm (for 100V constant voltage systems)
4. 15 Watt / 667 Ohm (for 100V constant voltage systems) This versatility ensures compatibility with various amplifier setups and system requirements.
Simple Connection: Two connection terminals are provided on the rear. The black terminal should always be connected to the COM output of the amplifier, and the red terminal to the positive output of the amplifier. Correct polarity is crucial for optimal performance.

Maintenance Features

While the manual does not explicitly detail routine maintenance, it provides crucial warnings and cautions that contribute to the longevity and safe operation of the device:

Correct Amplifier Usage: Always use the correct amplifier output voltage and impedance to prevent fire or other failures.
Safe Installation:
- Install the speaker only in locations that can structurally support its weight to prevent it from falling.
- Use only the specified mounting methods and avoid applying extreme force during installation.
- Attach a safety wire when mounting the speaker high above the ground to prevent accidental falls.
- Avoid mounting in locations exposed to constant vibrations, which can damage mounting points.
Environmental Precautions:
- Do not use the speaker near gasoline, thinner, or other combustibles to avoid explosions.
- Avoid installing in locations exposed to solvents, acids, smoke, and heaters, as these can lead to speaker failure, fire, or electric shocks.
Operational Care:
- Do not operate the speaker for extended periods at distorted sound, as this can cause irreparable damage.
- Do not stand or sit on, nor hang from the speaker, as this may cause failure.
Electrical Safety: Always switch off the amplifier power when connecting the speaker to prevent electric shocks.
