To prevent potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, anyone subjected to such levels must use suitable protection. When a EAW Commercial product capable of producing high sound levels is being used, it is therefore necessary to wear ear plugs or protective earphones when the limits shown in the table are exceeded.
The result is superior full-range performance in any distributed loudspeaker system. The CIS991 offers a broader high-frequency coverage pattern than the CIS961. (Please refer to the polar diagrams on pages 12–15.) Apart from this difference the two loudspeakers are identical, and this instruction guide covers both models.
16 W, 32 W, 64 W, and 128 W. For 100 V systems, select power taps from 32 W, 64 W and 128 W. – CIS961 and CIS991 Transformer/Direct Selector 3. FRONT GRILLE The loudspeaker is supplied with the front grille not attached to the front baffle.
Secure the connections with screws. 7. STRAIN RELIEF This sliding screw clamp allows the wiring to and from the loudspeaker to be secured. The clamp can also be removed, and standard conduit fittings (not supplied) connected. CIS961 and CIS991 –...
The downside of higher density coverage, of course, is that more loudspeakers are required for a given area. Note: The EAW website contains free PC software to help you calculate the coverage for various loudspeakers and room sizes. Please visit www.EAW.com/downloads and look under "software"...
Amplifier connections The following examples of 70 V and 100 V connections show an EAW Commercial CAM160, a typical mixer/amplifier. Its speaker-level output is a screw terminal strip, with outputs for 25 V, 70 V, 100 V, Ground, and 4 ohm.

4. If connecting another loudspeaker in a distributed system (in parallel), connect the speaker cable running to the next speaker to the outer “+” and “–” terminals labeled LOOP THRU. 5. Press the Phoenix-type connector in place. 6. Tighten the strain relief screws to secure the speaker cable or flexible conduit.

80% of the rated power of the amplifier being used. 2. If the speaker is being used in a low-impedance system, use the direct position. This bypasses the tapped transformer, and the amplifier load will be an average impedance of 8 ohms.
Design refinements are introduced into existing products without notice as a routine expression of that philosophy. For this reason, any current EAW Commercial product may differ in some respect from its published description, but will always equal or exceed the original design specifications unless otherwise stated.
