This manual covers hardware features and functions for all three full-range
AI loudspeakers (312AI, 315AI, and 328AI) as well as the companion 18sAI
subwoofer. We suggest that you use the manual to familiarize yourself with
the features, applications, and connection procedures for your StudioLive
AI-series loudspeakers before trying to set up and operate them.
Except for low-frequency driver configuration and some technical specifications
(such as weight, frequency response, and maximum SPL), the features and
functions of the three full-range models are the same. In many respects, the
functions of the 18sAI are also the same. Whenever possible these features and
functions will be described for the entire line. Unless preceded by "full-range, "
the term "loudspeaker" will refer to both full-range models and the subwoofer.
Throughout this manual you will find Power User Tips highlighting
unique aspects of StudioLive AI-series loudspeakers, as well as
explanations of various audio terms. In addition, you will find tutorials
that cover the basics of room acoustics and speaker placement.
Thank you, once again, for buying our product. We are confident
that you will enjoy your StudioLive AI loudspeakers!
