Introduction; Instructions (Fig. 1 / 2 / 3) - PROEL FLASH8XD User Manual

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for having chosen a PROEL product.
With FLASH X PROEL introduces the third generation of a series of loudspeakers that represented a reference for
compact, portable systems for years. The new FLASH XD continue a long history of high-definition sound, reliability and
rugged construction in an affordable package, adding now significant steps forward in technology and a brand new style,
and still offering the best-in-class performance, features and design.
FLASH8XD is powered by newly designed amplifier module able to provide up to 600W of clean and undistorted power.
The high-efficiency Class D output stages, combined with light-weight and compact Switch Mode Power Supply, gives a
massive punch and a consistent reserve of power. The built-in 2-channel mixer with independent LINE and MIC inputs
can turn any FLASH8XD system into an instant PA system.
The use of a high-definition compression drivers and a long-excursion woofer carefully selected and customized provides
an accurate acoustic response and an amazing sound pressure level with very low distortion.
FLASH8XD is controlled by the powerful PROEL CORE LT DSP, featuring high-performance signal processing and high-
definition 24bit converters, capable to deliver an outstanding sound definition and a dynamic performance typical of
top-end systems. The CORE DSP signal processing includes a sophisticated Dynamic EQ, able to shape accurately the
system's sound while maintaining a full dynamic range at any level. In addition the CORE LT DSP offers an extensive
dynamic protection to the system, for getting always the maximum undistorted output. 5 EQ PRESETS (MUSIC, LIVE, DJ,
MONITOR, SPEECH) can be easily selected to adapt the speakers to any kind of application.
Other features of FLASH8XD are a compact and lightweight PP cabinet with extended internal ribbing and symmetrical
wedge angle, a constant wide-coverage (90° x 60°) horn for a uniform and coherent sound dispersion, a newly-designed
ergonomic aluminium handle and built-in flying points for the use in fixed installation.

INSTRUCTIONS (FIG. 1 / 2 / 3)

1. LINE IN (combo XLR-JACK input)
This is a female combo connector, which accepts a XLR or a JACK plug from almost any type of equipment with a
balanced or unbalanced outputs. The XLR input is wired as follows:
Pin 1 = shield or ground
Pin 2 = + positive or "hot"
Pin 3 = - negative or "cold"
The JACK input is wired as follows:
Tip = + positive or "hot"
Ring = - negative or "cold"
Sleeve = shield or ground
When connecting an unbalanced signal, wire them as follows:
Pin2 / Tip = + positive or "hot"
Pin 1-3 / Sleeve = shield or ground
NOTE: whenever possible, use always balanced cables. Unbalanced lines may also be used but may result in noise over
long cable runs. In any case, avoid using a balanced cable for one channel and an unbalanced one for the other.
2. MIC IN (XLR input balanced)
This is a female XLR connector, which accepts a balanced microphone input from almost any type of Microphone. The
XLR input is wired as follows:
Pin 1 = shield or ground
Pin 2 = + positive or "hot"
Pin 3 = - negative or "cold"
3. MIX OUT (XLR output unbalanced)
These XLR connectors provide an unbalanced line-level signal that represent the mixed mic and line signal. Connect
these to the inputs of other powered speakers to make an array.
4. LINE LEVEL control
Rotary level control: it attenuates the level of the signal sent to the LINE IN input, the attenuation ranges from "0" fully
closed (the signal is completely attenuated) to "10" fully open, nominal level (the signal is not attenuated in any way,
so is fed to the internal amplifier at the same level at which it arrives on input).
