Introduction

The 650-P, Meyer Sound’s most powerful self-powered

subwoofer, contains independent amplifier and control

electronics for two 18” drivers in a compact enclosure.

This integrated design improves performance, durability,

and reliability, eliminates amplifier racks, and simplifies

setup and installation.

The 650-P has the following acoustical specifications:

Frequency Response ±4 dB 28  100 Hz

Phase Response ±30° 45  145 Hz

Dynamic Range > 110 dB

See page 14 for complete specifications.

The 650-P is compatible with the Meyer MSL-4, CQ™

Series, and MTS-4 self-powered speakers and can be

used in any system requiring additional low frequency

reinforcement..

The 650-P can be equipped to operate with the Remote

Monitoring System (RMS™) interface network and

software application. RMS displays signal and power

levels, driver and cooling fan status, limiter activity, and

amplifier temperature for all speakers in the network

on a Windows-based PC. Contact Meyer Sound for

more information about RMS.

AC Power

When AC power is applied to the 650-P, the Intelligent

AC™ supply automatically selects the correct operating

voltage, allowing the 650-P to be used in the US, Eu-

rope, or Japan without manually setting a voltage switch.

The Intelligent AC power supply also protects the 650-

P by performing surge suppression for high voltage tran-

sients (up to 275V), minimizing inrush current, and

filtering EMI. The 650-P uses a NEMA L6-20P or IEC

309 male power inlet and satisfies UL, CSA, and EC

safety standards.

Continuous voltages above 275VAC may damage

the unit!

Voltage Requirements

The 650-P operates safely and without audio discon-

tinuity if the AC voltage stays within the ranges 85–

134V or 165–264V, at 50 or 60Hz. Immediately after

applying AC power, the green Active LED on the user

panel illuminates and the proper operating voltage is

automatically selected, but the system is muted. During

the next three seconds, the primary fan turns on, the

main power supply slowly ramps on, and the system is

enabled to pass audio signals.

TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: If the Active LED does not

illuminate or the system does not respond to audio input

after ten seconds, remove AC power to avoid possible

damage to the unit. Experienced electronics technicians

with access to a test bench can verify proper operation

for the power supply and amplifier system with The

Meyer Sound Self-Powered Series MP-2 and MP-4 Field

Verification Procedure (part # 17.022.066.01; contact

Meyer Sound to receive this document). All other users

should contact Meyer Sound or an authorized Meyer

service center.

If the voltage decreases below the lower bound of either

operating range (known as a brown-out period), the

supply uses current from its storage circuits and continues

to function briefly. The unit turns off if the voltage does

not increase above the threshold before the storage

circuits are depleted. The length of time that the 650-P

continues to operate during brown-out depends on how

low the voltage drops and the audio source level during

this period.

If the voltage fluctuates within either operating range,

automatic tap selection stabilizes the internal operating

voltage. This tap selection is instantaneous and there

are no audible artifacts. If the voltage increases above

the upper bound of either range, the power supply

turns off rapidly, preventing damage to the unit.

If the 650-P shuts down due to either low or high voltage,

the power supply automatically turns on after three

seconds if the voltage has returned to either normal

operating range. If the 650-P does not turn back on after

ten seconds, remove AC power and refer to the TROUBLE-

SHOOTING NOTE above.

Current Requirements

The 650-P presents a dynamic load to the AC mains

which causes the amount of current to fluctuate be-

tween quiet and loud operating levels. Since different

types of cables and circuit breakers heat up (and trip) at

varying rates, it is essential to understand the types of

current ratings and how they correspond to circuit

breaker and cable specifications.

The maximum continuous RMS current is the maxi-

mum RMS current over a duration of at least 10 sec-

onds. It is used to calculate the temperature increase in

cables, which is used to select cables that conform to

electrical code standards. It is also used to select the

rating for slow-reacting thermal breakers.

The maximum burst RMS current is the maximum

RMS current over a one second duration. It is used to

select the rating for most magnetic breakers.

The maximum instantaneous peak current during burst

is used to select the rating for fast-reacting magnetic

breakers and to calculate the peak voltage drop in long

AC cables according to the formula

Vpk

drop

= Ipk x Rtotal cable

Use the table below as a guide to select cables and

circuit breakers with appropriate ratings for your oper-

ating voltage.

The minimum electrical service amperage required by a

system of Meyer speakers is the sum of their maximum

continuous RMS currents. We recommend allowing an

additional 30% above the minimum amperage to prevent

peak voltage drops at the service entry.

TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: In the unlikely case that

the circuit breakers trip (the white center buttons pop

out), do not reset the breakers! Contact Meyer Sound for

repair information.

Safety Issues

Pay close attention to these important electrical and

safety issues.

Use a power cord adapter to drive the 650-P

from a standard 3-prong outlet (NEMA 5-15R;

125V max).

earth

ground

chassis

ground

The 650-P requires a grounded outlet. Always use

a grounding adapter when connecting to un-

grounded outlets.

Do not use a ground-lifting adapter or cut the AC

cable ground pin.

Keep all liquids away from the 650-P to avoid hazards

from electrical shock.

Do not operate the unit if the power cables are frayed or

broken.

Tie-wrap anchors on the amplifier chassis provide strain

relief for the power and signal cables. Insert the plastic

tie-wraps through the anchors and wrap them around the

cables.

The cabinet, exposed electronic circuitry, and drivers

can receive protective treatment that permits safe use in

wet conditions. Additionally, a rain hood can be fitted to

shield cables and electronics. Do not install a unit out-

doors without weather protection! Contact Meyer Sound

for more information.

Power Connector Wiring Conventions

Use the following AC cable wiring diagram to create

international or special-purpose power connectors:

brown = hot

blue =

neutral

yellow/green =

earth ground

(chassis)

AC cable color code

If the colors referred to in the diagram don't correspond

to the terminals in your plug, use the following guide-

lines:

• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked

with an N or colored black.

• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked

with an L or colored red.

• Connect the green and yellow wire to the terminal

marked with an E (or ) or colored green (or

green and yellow).

Audio Input

The 650-P presents a 10 kOhmbalanced input imped-

ance to a three-pin XLR connector wired with the fol-

lowing convention:

Pin 1 — 220 kOhm to chassis and earth ground (ESD

clamped)

Pin 2 — Signal

Pin 3 — Signal

Case — Earth (AC) ground and chassis

Shorting an input connector pin to the case can form

a ground loop and cause hum.

Pins 2 and 3 carry the input as a differential signal; their

polarity can be reversed with the input polarity switch

on the user panel. If the switch is in the up position,

pin 2 is hot relative to pin 3, resulting in a positive

pressure wave when a positive signal is applied to pin 2.

Use standard audio cables with XLR connectors for

balanced signal sources.

TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: If abnormal noise (hum,

hiss, popping) is produced from the loudspeaker, dis-

connect the audio source from the speaker. If the noise

stops, then the problem is not within the loudspeaker;

check the audio input and AC power.

A single source can drive multiple 650-Ps with a paralleled

input loop, creating an unbuffered hardwired loop

connection. Make certain that the source equipment

can drive the total load impedance presented by the

paralleled input circuit. For example, since the input

impedance of a single 650-P is 10 kOhms, cascading 20

650-Ps produces a balanced input impedance of 500

Ohms. If a 150 Ohm source is used, the 500 Ohm load

results in a 2.28 dB loss.

Amplification and Protection

Circuitry

Each driver in the 650-P is powered by one channel

of the Meyer MP-2, a 1240 W amplifier (620 W/ch)

utilizing complementary power MOSFET output stages

(class AB/H). The following sections discuss the MP-2’s

limiting circuitry and the two-fan cooling system.

TruPower™ Limiting System

Conventional limiters assume that the resistance of a

speaker remains constant and set the limiting threshold

by measuring voltage only. This method is inaccurate

because the speaker’s resistance changes in response to

the frequency content of the source material and ther-

mal variations in the speaker’s voice coil and magnet.

Conventional limiters begin limiting prematurely, which

under-utilizes system headroom and deprives the speaker

of its full dynamic range.

The TruPower limiting (TPL) system accounts for varying

speaker impedance by measuring current, in addition

to voltage, to compute the power dissipation and voice

coil temperature. TPL improves performance before and

during limiting by allowing the speaker to produce its

maximum SPL across its entire frequency range. TPL

also extends the lifetime of the drivers by controlling

the temperature of the voice coil.

Differential Inputs

When the safe continuous power level is exceeded, a

single limiter engages, affecting both amplifier channels

equally. TPL activity is indicated by the Sub Limit LED

on the user panel. The limiter ceases operation when the

power level returns to normal and does not affect the

signal when the LED is inactive.

The 650-P performs within its acoustical specifications

and operates at a normal temperature if the TPL LED is

on for no longer than two seconds, and off for at least

one second. If the LED remains on for longer than three

seconds, the 650-P is hard limiting with these negative

consequences:

• Increasing the input level will not increase the

volume.

• The system distorts due to clipping and nonlin-

ear driver operation.

• The life-span of driver and amplifier components is

reduced because they are subjected to excessive

heat.

The TPL LED can indicate an imbalance in a system of

speakers by functioning like a spectrum analyzer. If

speakers in a subwoofer, mid-bass, or mid-hi subsystem

begin to limit before reaching the required operating

level for the entire system, then that subsystem needs to

be supplemented with additional speakers.

NOTE: Although the TPL limiters exhibit smooth sonic

characteristics, we do not recommend using them for

intentional compression effects. Use an outboard

compressor/limiter to compress a mixed signal.

Driver Excursion Clamp

The drivers in the 650-P are protected from over-excursion

by an excursion clamping circuit that does not have

attack or release time constants. The circuit provides

instantaneous braking for the drivers without the

pumping effects commonly produced by compressor/

limiters.

The circuit uses sophisticated filters to minimize the

distortion normally caused by clamping and clipping.

As the 650-P’s input signal is increased past the clamping

point, the output signal remains at a fixed level, protecting

the drivers and minimizing negative sonic effects. The

650-P operates safely if the Exc. Clamp LED is on for no

longer than two seconds, and off for at least one second.

Fans and Cooling System

The 650-P uses a forced-air cooling system with two

fans to prevent the amplifiers from overheating. The

fans draw air in through ducts on the front of the

cabinet, over the heatsinks, and out the rear of the

cabinet. Since dust does not accumulate in the amplifier

circuitry, its life-span is increased significantly.

A foam insert filter, in combination with the entire front

grill surface, acts as an air filter for the cooling system.

Despite the filtering, extensive use or a dusty operating

environment can allow dust to accumulate along the

path of the airflow, preventing normal cooling. We

recommend periodically removing the grill, filter, and

amplifier module and using compressed air to clear

dust from the grill, filter, fans, and heatsinks. Make sure

that the air ducts are clear and that there is at least six

inches clearance for exhaust behind the cabinet.

supply

A variable-speed primary fan runs continuously with

an inaudible operating noise of 22 dBA at 1 m at its

slowest speed. The speed of the primary fan begins

increasing when the temperature of the heatsinks reaches

42°C. The fan reaches full speed at 62°C and is barely

audible near the cabinet, even without an audio signal.

In the unusual event that the heatsink temperature

reaches 74°C, the secondary fan turns on; it turns off

when the temperature decreases to 68°C. The second-

ary fan is audible at close proximity without an audio

signal and turns on in response to

• primary fan failure (check its status immediately);

• a prolonged period of high source levels in hot

temperatures or direct sunlight;

• accumulation of dust in the cooling system path;

• driver failure.

TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: In the highly unlikely event

that the secondary fan does not keep the temperature

below 85°C, the 650-P automatically shuts down until AC

power is removed and reapplied. If the 650-P shuts down

again after cooling and reapplying AC power, contact

Meyer Sound for repair information.

Configuration, Placement,

and Polarity

Designing a full-range system requires an understanding

of how subwoofers respond when grouped together,

how they interact with nearby walls and floors, and how

their location in a system affects the choice of polarity to

use for other speakers. These topics are introduced as

background for the section Full-Range Systems.

Configuration

A single subwoofer has an essentially omnidirectional

coverage pattern. A horizontal line with two adjacent

subs narrows the horizontal coverage area, without

changing the vertical coverage, compared to one sub. A

vertical stack of two subs narrows the vertical coverage

without changing the horizontal coverage. In both cases,

there is 3 to 6 dB SPL of on-axis addition.

Increasing the size of the horizontal or vertical array

from two to three subs further narrows the respective H

or V coverage without changing the corresponding V or

H coverage. Both the vertical and horizontal three-sub

arrays provide approximately 10 dB SPL addition more

than one sub.

Increasing the number of subs in the horizontal or verti-

cal array increases the corresponding H or V directional

control and the system SPL. A properly designed vertical

array steers low frequencies to include balconies and

upper tiers but avoids unnecessary interaction with the

ceiling; a horizontal array focuses low frequencies for

the longer throw distances required by large venues.

The three-by-two array (below left) narrows the H and

V coverages, and produces 10 to 15 dB SPL more than a

single sub. Combining the vertical and horizontal ar-

rays in an L-configuration (below right) provides more

on-axis SPL and directional control than the three-by-

two array.

Both the three-by-two group and L-configuration increase the

SPL and directional control.

Placement

One of the most important factors governing subwoofer

response is their placement relative to adjacent sur-

faces. Subwoofers gain significant power by coupling, or

loading, with nearby floors and walls. Half-space loading

describes a speaker coupling with one surface. Subs

placed on the floor benefit from half-space loading,

while flown subs in free-space (without a nearby wall or

ceiling) do not. In general, subs in half-space generate

twice the SPL (+6 dB) compared to the same number in

free-space.

It can be beneficial to fly subwoofers, despite the lack of

half-space loading. Placing subwoofers within a flown

cluster of mid-hi speakers creates a smooth frequency

image because the subs are not separated by the dis-

tance from the cluster to the floor.

NOTE: SPL values refer to an on-axis measurement

position. The actual SPL addition and narrowing of coverage

varies with frequency and depends on the physical

displacement between cabinets, loading conditions, and

room acoustics.

Polarity

The cabinets in the next section, Full-Range Systems,

are in a close-proximity coplanar orientation, unless

otherwise stated. Separating a mid-hi speaker from a

subwoofer by more than 5 ft may require setting the

speakers to opposite polarities to compensate for the

propagation delay from each speaker to the designated

listening or measurement position.

In a coplanar orientation, externally amplified Meyer

subwoofers require the opposite polarity setting to all

Meyer self-powered speakers.

Measurement and System

Integration Tools

It is essential that even the most carefully assembled

sound systems be analyzed with precise measurement

tools. We recommend using the Meyer SIM® System II

Sound Analyzer and CP-10 Parametric Equalizer to

• assist the process of choosing and configuring

speakers;

• measure propagation delays between subsystems

to set the correct polarity and delay times;

• measure and equalize variations in frequency

response caused by the acoustical environment

and the placement and interaction of speakers.

Contact Meyer Sound for assistance with your application.

We recommend using the Meyer LD-1A Line Driver to

integrate different types of Meyer self-powered speakers

into a complete system. The LD-1A has two channels

equipped to control a full-range main system, and six

auxiliary channels for down-fill, front-fill, and delay

systems. The LD-1A maintains signal integrity for long

cable paths and provides the following useful functions:

• The Lo Cut switch activates a high-pass filter

(160 Hz, –12 dB/oct, Q = 0.8) that performs a

crossover function for the Mid-Hi output.

• The DS-2 & Sub Crossover switch (channels 1

and 2 only) activates a crossover network opti-

mized for the DS-2P when used with the 650-P.

With the switch in, frequencies below 80 Hz are

sent to the Sub output (for the 650-P), and above

80 Hz to the DS-2 output. When the 650-P is used

without the DS-2P, the switch should be out,

which sends a full-range signal to both the DS-2

and Sub outputs.

• The DS-2 f and Sub f switches (channels 1 and 2

only) toggle the polarity for the DS-2 and Sub

outputs.

• The Mid-Hi, DS-2, and Sub outputs (channels 1

and 2 only) each have their own gain control and

mute switch.

POLARITY NOTE: The polarity for Meyer self-powered

speakers may be reversed using the input polarity switch

on the user panel. The LD-1A also allows polarity reversal

with the DS-2 f and Sub f switches for speakers con-

nected to the DS-2 and Sub outputs. When making

polarity decisions in applications that include the LD-1A,

check the state of all polarity switches.

Full-Range Systems

Meyer Speaker Types

The following Meyer speakers are mentioned in the

example applications.

MSL-4 Self-powered mid-hi speaker

CQ Series Self-powered mid-hi speaker

MTS-4 Self-powered full-range speaker

PSW-2 Self-powered subwoofer

650-R2 Externally amplified subwoofer

The Meyer self-powered speakers listed above have a

loop connection to send the input signal to another

speaker. Full-range signals may be applied to all Meyer

self-powered subwoofers because they have built-in

active crossovers that filter mid-hi frequencies.

650-P and MSL-4

The 650-P is compatible with the MSL-4, CQ, and MTS-4.

However, since the low frequency response for each

speaker overlaps with the 650-P, the system frequency

response exhibits a rise in the range 65 – 100 Hz (MSL-

4), 40 – 100 Hz (CQ), and 30 – 100 Hz (MTS-4). It is

important to emphasize that the speakers are in phase in

this region. The rise can be corrected using the Meyer

CP-10 Parametric Equalizer, if desired.

LD-1A with 650-P and MSL-4

Using the LD-1A’s Lo Cut filter for the CH 1 Mid-Hi

output also eliminates the low frequency rise caused by

the frequency response overlap between the MSL-4 and

650-P. Although a typical MSL-4:650-P ratio is 2:1, CH 1’s

Sub and Mid-Hi level controls allow this ratio to vary

while maintaining control of the spectral balance of the

system. The DS-2 & Sub Crossover switch should be

out.

650-P on the Floor

Including subwoofers in a flown cluster provides a

smooth frequency image because the low and mid-hi

frequencies are produced from speakers located close

together. The identical dimensions of the PSW-2 and

MSL-4 allow them to be easily flown together.

The CH 1 Mid-Hi output drives the MSL-4 with the Lo

Cut filter in. The CH 1 Sub and DS-2 outputs drive the

650-Ps and PSW-2s with the DS-2 & Sub Crossover

switch out, which sends a full-range signal with inde-

pendent level control to each speaker.

Set the MSL-4 and PSW-2 to the same polarity. The polarity for

the 650-P depends on the height and distance of the measure-

ment position from the subwoofers and flown cluster.

LD-1A with MSL-4, DS-2P, and 650-P

Adding the DS-2P to an MSL-4/650-P system enhances

LF power and clarity. With the DS-2 & Sub Crossover

switch in, the DS-2P and 650-P each receive signals

optimized for their frequency response capabilities.

The MSL-4 is driven from the CH 1 Mid-Hi output with

the Lo Cut filter in to minimize the overlap in frequency

response with the DS-2P and 650-P. Set the 650-P to the

opposite polarity to the MSL-4 and DS-2P.

Set the 650-P to the opposite polarity to the DS-2P and

MSL-4.

650-P and 650-R2

Although it is preferable to employ the 650-P in a

completely self-powered system, the 650-P can be used

with the 650-R2 externally amplified subwoofer if:

• the B-2EX CEU is set to the maximum output

level;

• the 650-R2’s amplifier is set to 26 dB gain;

• the 650-R2’s amplifier is set to the opposite polarity

of the 650-P.

POLARITY NOTE: It is advisable to check the polarity of

adjacent 650-P and 650-R2 cabinets by following the

instructions in the Verifying Driver Polarity section on

page 10.

Driver Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting with TPL

The TPL LED can indicate serious driver problems, if

interpreted correctly. If one 650-P in a system exhibits

substantially more TPL activity than others receiving

the same audio signal, then one or both drivers in that

unit may have a short circuit. This is a potentially

dangerous condition for the electronics; shut the 650-P

down immediately.

The TPL circuit does not activate if there is no power

dissipation in the driver, regardless of the input signal

level. Therefore, if all 650-Ps in a system receiving the

same audio signal exhibit TPL activity except one, then

that unit may have an open voice coil; disconnect it and

contact Meyer Sound for repair information.

NOTE: The Remote Monitoring System (RMS) provides

precise information about peak power, peak voltage,

and average voltage (VU) for each amplifier channel,

enabling a more complete driver diagnostic than the TPL

LEDs. Contact Meyer Sound for more information about

RMS.

Driver Replacement

To determine whether a driver is functioning properly,

or replace a damaged driver, contact Meyer Sound to

obtain the Low Driver Inspection and Evaluation

Procedure for Self-Powered Series Products (part #

17.010.120.01).

Verifying Driver Polarity

Incorrect driver polarity impairs system performance

and may damage the drivers. All Meyer loudspeakers

are shipped with the drivers in correct alignment. How-

ever, if the driver or circuit wiring has been removed or

disassembled in any loudspeaker in a system for any

reason, it is essential to check the polarity between

drivers in the same cabinet and between adjacent loud-

speakers.

NOTE: Since polarity reversal causes excessive driver

excursion at high source levels, use moderate levels for

these tests.

Driver Polarity in the Same Loudspeaker

Use the following test procedure to verify polarity

between drivers in the same loudspeaker:

1. Place a monitoring microphone 3 ft from the front

of the loudspeaker at the midway point between

the two drivers.

2. Connect a signal source to the loudspeaker and

note the frequency response.

The polarity is correct if the frequency response is

±4 dB 28 – 100 Hz. Cancellation greater than 6 dB in

the same range indicates polarity reversal.

Polarity Between Adjacent Loudspeakers

Use the following test procedure to verify the polarity

between adjacent loudspeakers of the same type:

1. Position two loudspeakers adjacent to each other.

2. Place a measurement microphone 3 ft from the

speakers on the axis between them.

3. Connect a signal source to one speaker and note the

frequency response and overall level.

4. Apply the same signal to the second speaker with

the first speaker still connected.

The polarity is correct if the frequency response remains

constant with a significant increase in amplitude. Broad-

band cancellation (decreased overall level) indicates

polarity reversal.

NOTE: Do not attempt to check more than two adjacent

speakers in one test. Detecting polarity reversal among

more than two speakers is difficult and may damage

the drivers in the cabinet with reversed polarity.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the loud-

speaker from the AC mains before installing audio cable.

Reconnect the power cord only after making all signal

connections.

• Connect the loudspeaker to a two-pole, three wire grounding

mains receptacle. The receptacle must be connected to a

fuse or circuit breaker. Connection to any other type of

receptacle poses a shock hazard and may violate local

electrical codes.

• Do not install the loudspeaker in wet or humid locations

without using weather protection equipment from Meyer

Sound.

• Do not allow water or any foreign object to get inside the

loudspeaker. Do not put objects containing liquid on, or

near, the unit.

• To reduce the risk of overheating the loudspeaker, avoid

exposing it to direct sunlight. Do not install the unit near

heat emitting appliances, such as a room heater or stove.

• This loudspeaker contains potentially hazardous voltages.

Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. The unit contains

no user serviceable parts. Repairs should be performed

only by factory trained service personnel.

angeschlossen wird. Das Netzkabel erst nach Herstellung

aller Signalverbindungen wieder einstecken.

• Der Lautsprecher an eine geerdete zweipolige Dreiphasen-

Netzsteckdose anschließen. Die Steckdose muß mit einem

geeigneten Abzweigschutz (Sicherung oder

Leistungsschalter) verbunden sein. Der Anschluß der

unterbrechungsfreien Stromversorgung an einen anderen

Steckdosentyp kann zu Stromschlägen führen und gegen

die örtlichen Vorschriften verstoßen.

• Der Lautsprecher nicht an einem Ort aufstellen, an dem

sie mit Wasser oder übermäßig hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit in

Berührung kommen könnte.

• Darauf achten, daß weder Wasser noch Fremdkörper in

das Innere den Lautsprecher eindringen. Keine Objekte,

die Flüssigkeit enthalten, auf oder neben die

unterbrechungsfreie Stromversorgung stellen.

• Um ein Überhitzen dem Lautsprecher zu verhindern, das

Gerät vor direkter Sonneneinstrahlung fernhalten und

nicht in der Nähe von wärmeabstrahlenden

Haushaltsgeräten (z.B. Heizgerät oder Herd) aufstellen.

• Im Inneren diesem Lautsprecher herrschen potentiell

gefährliche Spannungen. Nicht versuchen, das Gerät zu

öffnen. Es enthält keine vom Benutzer reparierbaren

Teile. Reparaturen dürfen nur von ausgebildetem

Kundenienstpersonal durchgeführt werden.

• Pour réduire le risque d’électrocution, débrancher la

prise principale de l’haut-parleur, avant d’installer le

câble d’interface allant à l’audio. Ne rebrancher le bloc

d’alimentation qu’après avoir effectué toutes les connections.

• Branchez l’haut-parleur dans une prise de courant à 3

dérivations (deux pôles et la terre). Cette prise doit être

munie d’une protection adéquate (fusible ou coupe-circuit).

Le branchement dans tout autre genre de prise pourrait

entraîner un risque d’électrocution et peut constituer une

infraction à la réglementation locale concernant les

installations électriques.

• Ne pas installer l’haut-parleur dans un endroit où il y a de

l’eau ou une humidité excessive.

• Ne pas laisser de l’eau ou tout objet pénétrer dans l’haut-

parleur. Ne pas placer de r´cipients contenant un liquide

sur cet appareil, ni à proximité de celui-ci.

la à l’abri du soleil. Ne pas installer à proximité d’appareils

dégageant de la chaleur tels que radiateurs ou appareils

de chauffage.

• Ce haut-parleur contient des circuits haute tension

présentant un danger. Ne jamais essayer de le démonter.

Il n’y a aucun composant qui puisse être réparé par

l’utilisateur. Toutes les réparations doivent être effectuées

par du personnel qualifié et agréé par le constructeur.

• Para reducir el riesgo de descarga eléctrica, desconecte de

la red el altoparlante antes de instalar el cable de

señalización de interfaz de la segnale. Vuelva a conectar

el conductor flexible de alimentación solamente una vez

efectuadas todas las interconexiones de señalizatción.

• Conecte el altoparlante a un tomacorriente bipolar y

trifilar con neutro de puesta a tierra. El tomacorriente

debe estar conectado a la protección de derivación

apropiada (ya sea un fusible o un disyuntor). La conexión

a cualquier otro tipo de tomacorriente puede constituir

peligro de descarga eléctrica y violar los códigos eléctricos

locales.

• No instale el altoparlante en lugares donde haya agua o

humedad excesiva.

• No deje que en el altoparlante entre agua ni ningún objeto

extraño. No ponga objetos con líquidos encima de la

unidad ni cerca de ella.

• Para reducir el riesgo de sobrecalentamiento, no exponga

la unidad a los rayos directos del sol ni la instale cerca de

artefactos que emiten calor, como estufas o cocinas.

• Este altoparlante contiene niveles de voltaje peligrosos en

potencia. No intente desarmar la unidad, pues no contiene

piezas que puedan ser repardas por el usuario. Las

reparaciones deben efectuarse únicamente por parte del

personal de mantenimiento capacitado en la fábrica.
