1. Introduction and Overview 1.1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Blaze Audio CCA10i-BA loudspeaker. The CCA10i-BA is a constant curvature, arrayable point source loudspeaker, designed for medium-sized venues to large distributed systems that require a flexible and scalable loudspeaker solution. Mounted horizontally with tight acoustic centres to minimize comb filtering, each CCA10i-BA enclosure provides fixed 20°...

2. Applications and Deployment 2.1 Applications The CCA10i-BA can be configured as an individual point-source loudspeaker or in a vertical array with multiple CCA10i-BA loudspeakers. Integrated rigging enables easy and secure box-to-box deployment. Flying CCA10i-BA loudspeakers, requires the CCA10i-BA Rigging Grid. This separately sold item enables the suspension up to five (5) CCA10i-BA loudspeakers.
No one should be allowed to pass beneath the loudspeakers during installation. • Blaze Audio strongly recommends that the system be inspected at least once a year and logged. If any sign of weakness • Do not suspend any other components or loudspeakers other or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken than the supported configurations described in this manual.
2.3 Rigging Instructions CCA10i-BA loudspeakers feature integrated rigging hardware. Use of the rigging hardware is similar whether multiple CCA10i-BA loudspeakers are to be joined, or are to be attached to a CCA10i-BA Rigging Grid. 2.3.1 Connecting One CCA10i-BA to Another Step 1.

CCA10i- BA loudspeakers. Deploying loudspeakers that exceed the maximum configuration can lead to serious damage, injury, or death. Blaze Audio has tested the configurations below for safety. Please note that the structure from which CCA10i-BA loudspeaker arrays are suspended must be able to support that total weight.

The “Input” is used for connection directly to the Blaze PowerZone Connect 3004 Amplifier and the “Link” can be used to connect in parallel to a second CCA10i-BA. Both Neutrik sockets are wired in a bi-amp configuration and use all four pins.

PowerZone Connect 3004 is a four channel power amplifier able to drive two CCA10i-BA loudspeakers. It is not recommended that more than two CCA10i-BA loudspeakers are connected to a single PowerZone Connect 3004 amplifier. CCA10i-BA loudspeaker and PowerZone 3004 amplifier connections are illustrated in the diagram.

A preset for CCA10i-BA loudspeakers is available for download from the Blaze website and must be used for correct loudspeaker performance. The procedure for downloading and applying loudspeaker presets is described in the following paragraphs.

Step 6. The PowerZone 3004 amplifier will now proceed to implement the appropriate CCA10i-BA loudspeaker equalization preset. Select OK to confirm application of the new loudspeaker preset. The CCA10i-BA and PowerZone Connect 3004 system will now be ready for use.
