Installation & operating instructions
2Handling.
Don’t force connector and knobs: they have been designed to respond to a light
touch and could be damaged if treated with excessive force.
2Protection and maintenance.
To avoid jeopardizing correct operation, it is best not to position the enclosure for
long periods in exposed places (damp, high temperature, etc.), in dusty environments
or those subject to strong vibrations. On this subject, it’s advisable to always leave the protective grille
mounted on the enclosure. In the event of breakdown, do not open the enclosure, but contact the nearest
GENERALMUSIC Service Centre.
2Connections.
It is a good rule to connect loudspeaker enclosures and amplifiers with the latter switched off, thus avoiding
signal peaks, which can be annoying and sometimes dangerous for the loudspeaker enclosures
themselves.
2Conservation of documentation and packing.
Keep this user’s handbook for future reference. Keep all the packing material as well for future shipments.
Remember that on the secondhand market, products always have better valuation if, as well as being in
good condition, they also have their original documentation and packing.
AMPLIFIED VERSION ONLY
2Connections and prevention or identification of possible interference.
Avoid installing your equipment in the vicinity of radios, televisions, etc., since this could cause noisy
disturbance. When connecting other equipment to your sound system, pay close attention to so-called
earth-loops, which can cause hum: in the event of interference, try using the EARTH switch on the
enclosure’s control panel.
2Connection to the mains supply.
Before connecting the enclosure to the mains supply, make certain that the current corresponds with
that indicated on the rear of the unit (there is an allowance of ±10%). Always connect the power cable to
the enclosure before switching on the enclosure and always remove it after having switched off.
2Switching on and off.
Remember to always connect or disconnect other equipment with the enclosure off and to always switch
on the mixer first, then the enclosure: in this manner, annoying and often dangerous peaks are avoided.
The SIGN/COMP LED may light up for a few moments when the mixer is switched on.
2Connector cables.
When connecting amplified enclosures to the mixer, make certain to always use only signal cables
(screened cables made up of two wires plus a braid/screen) and not power cables (speaker cables made
up of just two wires, normally with a larger cross-section): the use of unscreened cables could in fact
probably cause annoying hum and noise. Take good care of the connector cables, very frequently the
cause of problems. Always grip them by the plugs, never pull the cables, and always avoid knots and
twists when coiling them: they will last longer and be more reliable, a great advantage.
