The BGO30 Series In/Outdoor Speaker Set IPX5 is a versatile audio solution designed for both indoor and outdoor environments, offering robust performance and durability. This speaker set is part of the Power Dynamics Professional Audio range, indicating a focus on quality and reliability for professional applications.
Function Description:
The BGO30 Series speakers are designed to reproduce audio signals from an amplifier, delivering sound in various settings. They are suitable for use in both standard 2-loudspeaker setups, parallel 4-loudspeaker setups, and series parallel 4-loudspeaker mono setups, providing flexibility for different audio system configurations. The speakers are engineered to handle continuous operation and are equipped with features that ensure safe and efficient performance. They are particularly well-suited for environments where exposure to moisture or dust is a concern, thanks to their IPX5 rating.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Power Max.: 60W
- Power RMS: 25W
- Impedance: 8 Ohm
- Frequency response: 100Hz - 20kHz
- SPL @1W/1m: 89dB
- Woofer: 3" Polypropylene
- IP Rating: IPX5
- Dimensions per unit: 180 x 120 x 100mm
- Weight per unit: 0.45kg
These specifications highlight the speaker's capability to deliver clear audio within a reasonable frequency range, with sufficient power handling for its intended use. The 8-ohm impedance is standard for many audio systems, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers. The IPX5 rating signifies protection against low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor installation or in environments where splashes are possible.
Usage Features:
The BGO30 speakers are designed for straightforward connection and operation.
- Connection: To connect the speakers, ensure the audio system is turned off before making any connections. Connect the speaker(s) to the output of the amplifier, observing the correct polarity (negative pole to negative, positive pole to positive). When connecting several speakers, it is crucial to ensure that all speakers have the same polarity to prevent the amplifier from being overloaded. The manual provides diagrams for different wiring configurations (standard 2-loudspeaker, parallel 4-loudspeaker, series parallel 4-loudspeaker mono) to guide users in setting up their audio system correctly.
- Placement: The speakers should be placed on a stable surface, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and areas with high humidity or dust. Do not place the unit near vibrating surfaces or block ventilation holes. For optimal performance and safety, avoid placing the unit in an unstable position where it could fall or cause damage.
- Environmental Considerations: The IPX5 rating makes these speakers suitable for outdoor use, but it is important to note that this protection is against water jets, not submersion. For prolonged periods of non-use, especially outdoors, it is advisable to disconnect the unit from the mains to prevent potential damage from lightning or other electrical events. The operating temperature range is specified as 5°C/41°F and 35°C/95°F, indicating suitability for typical indoor and outdoor climates.
Maintenance Features:
Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the BGO30 speakers.
- Cleaning: Always disconnect the unit from the mains before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the unit. Avoid using chemical cleaning agents, abrasive cleaners, or sprays, as these can damage the finish or internal components. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth may be used, but ensure the unit is completely dry before reconnecting it to power.
- Storage: If the unit will not be used for an extended period, store it in a dry, dust-free environment. Disconnect all cables and store them neatly to prevent damage.
- Troubleshooting and Repairs: In case of malfunction, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. Repairs should only be carried out by a qualified technician to avoid electric shock or further damage. The manual emphasizes that unauthorized repairs will void the warranty. If the unit has been damaged (e.g., liquid ingress, physical damage, or exposure to extreme conditions), it should be inspected by a qualified technician.
- Safety Checks: Regularly inspect the cables and connections for any signs of wear or damage. Damaged cables should be replaced immediately by a qualified technician. Ensure that the ventilation holes are clear and not obstructed to prevent overheating.
The BGO30 Series speakers are designed with safety in mind, incorporating warnings about potential hazards such as electric shock, fire, and damage from improper use. Users are advised to read the instruction manual thoroughly before operating the device to ensure safe and correct usage. The CE certification indicates compliance with European safety, health, and environmental protection requirements.
