Usage Features:
The Artist system offers versatile installation options and features for commercial audio applications:
- Connection: Utilizes Phoenix socket terminals for safety and reliability. The manual provides detailed connection diagrams for various speaker configurations (T3/TW8/TW118, TW28, T4, T6/T8, T43, T65), including LPF (Low Pass Filter) and HPF (High Pass Filter) connections for subwoofers and full-range speakers. It emphasizes selecting appropriate cable thickness based on speaker count, impedance, and cable length to ensure sound quality and minimize power consumption.
- Constant Voltage Mode: For Artist T3 and T4, an external transformer box (Artist T-Box40) is required for constant voltage mode. One T-Box40 can support up to four T3/T4 full-range speakers, offering impedance and voltage output switching (40Ω, 100V/70V with various wattage settings).
- Installation Flexibility:
- Point Source Speakers (T3, T4): Can be used with the Artist T-Box40 for constant voltage applications.
- Line Array Speakers (T6, T8): Support vertical hanging with dedicated frames (Artist T6/T8 vertical hanging frame) and wall mounting with specific frames (Accessories for line array wall mounting frame 1 & 2). Vertical angle adjustment examples are provided (0°, 10°, 20°).
- Column Speakers (T43, T83, T65): Feature W03 vertical wall mounting brackets with adjustable angles (0°, 2.5°, 5°) and W04 horizontal wall mounting brackets with a maximum adjust angle of 45° up and down. These brackets allow for precise aiming of the sound.
- Subwoofers (TW8, TW28): Can be installed via wall mounting, ground mounting, or ceiling hanging using U-shaped wall mounting brackets (Artist TW8/TW28 U-shaped wall mounting bracket).
- Safety Precautions: The manual stresses strict adherence to safety measures during setup, installation, and use. This includes checking hardware for damage, ensuring professional installation, complying with local regulations, using specified voltage and power cables, proper grounding, avoiding humid environments, and immediately addressing abnormal operations. It also advises against blocking air vents and using the product at excessively high volumes to prevent hearing damage.
Maintenance Features:
The manual provides guidance on maintaining the system and troubleshooting common issues:
- Troubleshooting: A dedicated section helps users diagnose and resolve problems such as:
- No sound: Possible causes include incorrect cable connection or too small gain. Solutions involve correcting connections and adjusting output gain.
- Feedback in the sound: Often caused by the microphone being too close to the speaker or high sound levels. Solutions include repositioning speakers and lowering output gain.
- Sound discrepancy from different speakers: May be due to different gains or presets, or subwoofers being out of phase. Solutions involve setting uniform gains and presets, and adjusting subwoofer phase.
- Sound distortion: Typically results from excessive input or output volume. Solutions include reducing input volume of equipment and lowering speaker output gain until the Limiter LED is lighter.
- Not enough SPL with full-range speakers and subs: Suggests subwoofers might be out of phase, requiring phase adjustment.
- Regular Checks: Users are advised to regularly check the power cord and plug for any damage.
- Professional Repair: The product does not contain user-serviceable components. In case of abnormal operation, users should immediately stop using the product and contact qualified Audiocenter maintenance personnel.
- Storage: If the product is not used for a long time or during thunderstorms, the power plug should be disconnected.
- Contact for Service: For any service needs, users should contact the Audiocenter service center, agent, or distributor in their area.
The manual emphasizes the importance of reading it thoroughly before use to ensure the best performance and to keep it for future reference.
