    User manual - Uniline Compact 1. Safety note and general information • Information on the risk of exposure to high sound level APG loudspeakers are liable to generate levels of sound pressure hazardous to health, which may cause hearing impairment. It is recommended that you never stand in the immediate vi- cinity of the loudspeakers in operation and wear hearing protection when necessary.
  • Page 5 User manual - Uniline Compact • Use a secondary safety system for any APG speaker rigging. • The product is intended for be used by professionals trained in professional audio work. • APG declines all responsibility in the event of the use of non-validated accessories or non-compliance with safety instructions and rules.

    User manual - Uniline Compact 2. Uniline Compact range 2.1 Description of the product line The Uniline Compact modular line array is a versatile solution for a wide range of applications, indoors or outdoors, as varied as Public Address, sporting event, institutional, theater and live concert. It offers high dynamic and acoustic perfor- mance in a very compact, light and discreet format, easy to use thanks to its advanced ergonomics. The Uniline Compact and composed of 4 distinct elements: UC206N, UC206W, UC115B and UC118i.

  • Page 7: Products Description

    User manual - Uniline Compact 2.2 Products description UC206N / UC206W The UC206N is the main component of the Uniline Compact line array designed for medium and long range broadcasting due to its constant horizontal directivity of 70 °. The UC206W uses the same technologies and components as the UC206N but is designed and optimized for short and medium range and «downfill» broadcasting due to its constant wide horizontal directionality of 105 °. UC206N All other acoustic characteristics are common. The UC206N and UC206W are bi-amplified 3-way acoustic speakers: LO (60 - 600Hz) and HI (600Hz - 20kHz) section. The impedance of each section is 16 Ohms, allowing use of up to 8 speakers in parallel.
  • Page 8 User manual - Uniline Compact The speakers are connected to the amplifiers via two 4-pin SpeakonTM connectors on the back of each speaker: 1 + / 1- on LO section (low / medium) 2 + / 2- on HI section (medium / high) In the vertical plane, the directivity index is progressive and conditioned by the angular configuration of the system. The speakers’ pivot axis is located on the same plane as the exit groove of the APG ISOTOP waveguide. This guarantees a continuous sound source, regardless of angulation (tape type «line source»).
  • Page 9 User manual - Uniline Compact UC115B The UC115B is the dedicated bass reinforcement cabinet for the Uniline Compact system. The UC115B has been designed to extend and enhance low frequency response from 45 to 160 Hz. The recommended frequency connection with the UC206N / W is 110 Hz and 60 Hz with the UC118i. It can be used as a small-format subwoofer or as a bass extension by increasing the size and projection of the acoustic column in this frequency range, depending on the application. The bandpass acoustic load increases both the acoustic effi- ciency in the useful bandwidth, while limiting the excursion of the speaker membrane.
  • Page 10 User manual - Uniline Compact UC118i The UC118i is an infra-low frequency subwoofer dedicated to the Uniline Compact system. The UC118i has been designed for low frequency boost from 25 to 80 Hz. The recommended frequency connection with the UC206N / W is 80 Hz and 60 Hz with the UC115B. This model combines two complementary technological choices (a forced ventilation of the loudspeaker’s neodymium magnetic system and an acoustic bandpass load), which offer an extended dynamic capacity as well as a very high SPL level. The use of laminar vents facilitates airflow by minimizing near- field noise, which increases playback quality and minimizes distortion. The UC118i are connected to the amps via 4 Speakon ™ 4 point connectors: - 1 + / 1- on the rear panel - 2 + / 2- on the front for cardioid configuration.

    User manual - Uniline Compact 2.3 Accessories UCTRUSS The UCTRUSS element is the main rigging accessory of the Uniline Compact system. - Snap of UC206N / W clusters - Snap of UC115B clusters - Link between UC115B and UC206N / W. It can connect up to 22 UC206N / W or 11 UC115B for a maximum weight of 380kg. The quick click point offers great precision in adjusting the vertical angle of the clusters even with a single point of sus- pension. The Ease Focus acoustic and mechanical simulation tool allows precise calculation of the center of gravity and indicates the best mounting position for the spindles.
  • Page 12 User manual - Uniline Compact UCRAIL The UCRAIL accessory is an ideal alternative to UCTRUSS, for hanging small clusters. It can connect up to 8 UC206N / W, for a maximum weight of 140kg. Lighter and more economical than the UCTRUSS, this accessory guarantees a real gain in competitiveness, especially on small and medium-sized configurations when there is no need to suspend the UC115B both in rental and in permanent installation. APG reminds you to always secure your Uniline Compact system with an approved safety sling, connected to the UC- TRUSS or UCRAIL and to adjust the orientation angle of your cluster with an adequate halyard to maintain its value and avoid excessive swinging.
  • Page 13 User manual - Uniline Compact USTACK For posed and stacked configurations, a specific UCSTACK accessory must be used to safely configure the vertical angle of the UC206N / W clusters from -15 ° to + 10 ° (lower enclosure axis). This accessory can be used for three types of configurations: 1. UC206N / W stacking on the ground, thanks to its rubber feet, or on subwoofers (possibility of locking it with M20 thread). 2. UC206N / W speaker stand mounting via speaker stand with screw adapter such as K&M 24281. 3. In combination with UCRAIL or UCSTACK, to pull the lower part of a suspended assembly of UC206N / W to allow a more pronounced interior angle («Pullback»). DOP_1363_A 10/2021...
