active, processor controlled, bi-amped speaker system
W400A
Power supply connection:
• Make sure that the mains voltage corresponds to
the voltage indicated on the rear panel, under the
mains socket.
• Use only the factory supplied mains cable or, if a
different plug style is needed, a suitable cable with
a ground connection and marked with the safety
approvals valid in the country of use.
Connection to the mixer:
• Always make sure that the 'Line/mic' switch is up.
If the mixer has XLR balanced outputs: use standard
balanced XLR connectors.
If the mixer has
XLR unbalanced outputs, unless you
are using a Montarbo mixer, make sure that the XLR
outputs on the mixer are unbalanced to IEC 268
standard: 1 = GND, 2 = HOT, 3 = GND.
If the mixer has
JACK unbalanced outputs, use suitable
jack to Jack cables.

See 'connectors', 'connections' and 'applications' at
pages 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25.
• Always use only heavy gauge, high quality SHIELDED
cables (signal cables).
• Always make sure that the mixer and the powered
enclosures are switched off before connecting them.
This shall to avoid annoying noises and signal peaks,
which can also be dangerous for the enclosures
themselves.
Parallel connection of two or more systems:
Use male-female XLR 3 pin balanced extension cables.
Connect the first W400’s LINK OUT to the second’s
LINK IN, the second’s LINK OUT to the third LINK IN,
and so on.

Product care and maintenance:
• Do not expose the enclosure to heat sources
(lamps, lights, high power light sources, radiators
or other products that produce heat).
• Never expose the enclosure to direct sunlight,
excessive vibrations or mechanical shocks.
• Avoid operating and storing the enclosure in damp
or dusty places: this will avoid malfunctions, premature
degrading of specifications.
• Avoid using the enclosure close to strong sources of
electromagnetic interferences (e.g. video monitors, high
power electrical cabling). This may lead to degradation
of audio quality.
• Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and
liquid are not spilled into the enclosure. In public event
don't let people, musicians, technicians or anyone put
glasses, cups, ashtrays or cigarettes on the enclosure.
• Use a soft brush or a jet of air to clean the enclosure.
Do not use alcohol, solvents or detergents.
• Do not remove the protective grid.
•
Take care of your connector cables. Make sure that
they are not damaged, knotted or twisted.
• Do not force connectors and controls.
• Make sure the mains power switch is off ('0') before
starting any connection.
