Setup - Omnitronic XIRA-215A User Manual

4 Setup

The speaker system can be placed as desired or mounted onto stands or distance tubes with a standard
tube diameter of 35 mm. A dual flange with 0° and 5° tilt angle enables flexible positioning.
General notes
• The location must be solid, plane, anti-slip,
vibration-free, oscillation-free, and fire-resistant.
The installation area must hold a minimum point
load of 5 times the system's load (e.g. weight
20 kg - point load 100 kg). The speakers must
never be installed higher than 100 cm without
secondary attachment.
• Always install the speaker systems in a way that
a minimum distance of three meters to the
audience is kept. This is the only way to avoid
hearing damage for unreasonable listeners.
Block the area in front of the speaker systems
with appropriate means.
• For transport, the speaker systems feature two
carrying handles. The speaker system should be
carried without force by two persons of the same
size. Carrying the speaker system as one
person alone should be avoided as the high
weight and the strain could lead to back
damages and torsions. Please note that all
speaker systems with more than 25 kg weight
must be transported with two persons.
Stands and satellite systems
• It is possible to put the speaker system onto a
PA speaker stand via the dual flange on the
lower side or on top of a subwoofer system via a
distance tube. For this, insert a distance tube of
35 mm (accessory) into the flange on the upper
side of the subwoofer; then fasten the speaker
system on top.
• Stands must only be installed on a plane area
with a maximum inclination angle of 5°.
• When using stands or satellite systems under
the influence of horizontal forces, e.g. through
wind, the standing safety can be impaired. This
is why additional safety measures like attaching
ballast weights have to be taken.
• If inclined tension cables or prolonged outriggers
are used, the area of danger has to be marked
or even be blocked.
• Before lifting or lowering the telescopic tubes,
you must always block a safety area around the
stand or satellite system. This safety area must
have a diameter of 1.5 times the maximum
height.
• Lifted telescopic tubes always have to be
secured with a secondary securing!
• The total weight of the installation (=total weight
of all individual parts) must never exceed the
maximum load of the installation area.
• The speakers have to be installed out of the
reach of people. An unintended movement of
the load has to be avoided - also in case of fire!
• The installer is responsible for adhering to the
carrying capacity given by the manufacturer, the
safety requirements and the qualification of
possible co-workers.
• When people are located below the load, all
necessary safety measures have to be taken in
order to avoid injury.
• The personnel have to be instructed on the
content of the user manual and on the dangers
related with operating stands.
• Depending upon the individual installation spot,
all necessary measures against movement and
for securing the standing safety have to be
created.
• The installation is only allowed on carrying
areas. In
substructure, e.g. via a balancing foot, has to be
created. When choosing the installation material,
optimum dimensions have to be chosen in order
to secure maximum safety.
• Speaker systems installed on stands or satellite
systems may cause severe injuries when
crashing! If installing on slippery surfaces, the
legs must be secured with screws or nails via
the provided holes or an anti-slippery mat has to
be used.
Making the Connections
To avoid interfering noise, switch off the speaker
system or set the output controls to minimum prior
to connecting and disconnecting equipment. Be
sure to use only high-grade cables.
• Feed the audio input signal via XLR or 6.3 mm
plug to the jacks of channel CH 1 and CH 2.
These inputs allow to connect audio units with
line level (e.g. mixer or CD player). When
connecting line level devices, make sure that the
MIC/LINE level of CH 2 switch is disengaged.
Alternatively, you can connect microphones to
the input of CH 2. In this case, depress the
MIC/LINE level switch.
• At the XLR output MIX OUT the master signal of
both is available. This output allows connecting
e.g. the input of another active speaker system
for additional PA applications.
• Finally, connect the supplied power supply cable
to the corresponding input and the mains plug to
an outlet.
