Proficient Audio Systems AW8070V/blk Owner's Manual

70V Distributed Indoor/Outdoor Speaker System
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the AW8070V 70 Volt Distributed Indoor/Outdoor Speaker System from Proficient. The
AW8070V is ideal for installations that require a high number of speakers for paging and background music in large facilities such
as malls, restaurants and office facilities. The number of speakers is only limited by the total draw (in watts) of all the speakers
(as configured for the system) and the power of the amplifier. The AW8070V features a convenient five-position rotary switch for
selecting tap wattage and a dual two-terminal barrier strip, providing easy 'in' and 'out' parallel connectivity. The case is a sturdy
and attractive ABS enclosure that is weather resistant, but the AW8070V System should not be installed in direct sunlight or where
it will be exposed to water. To be sure that you optimize the performance of your AW8070V Speakers, please read this manual
carefully.
PLACEMENT
AW8070V Speakers can be installed indoors or outdoors. When installing indoors,
placement high on a wall or on a ceiling is recommended to provide best coverage
over the paging/background music area. Mounting the speakers too low will cause
the sound to be muffled or blocked by planters, furniture, fountains or even foot
traffic. Space the speakers evenly over the paging/background music area to provide
even coverage over the entire area.
Outdoor Placement
When mounting your speakers outdoors, the eaves of a roof provide an ideal loca-
tion. They reduce the exposure of constant direct sunlight, salt spray, and precipita-
tion. Avoid areas near sprinklers, fountains, misters or any location that could be
exposed directly to rain. Space the speakers evenly over the paging/background
music area to provide even coverage over the entire area.
Installation
AW8070V Speakers should be installed horizontally as shown in Diagram 1 for
maximum dispersion of sound over the widest area. The AW8070V Speakers can be
mounted vertically but will not cover as wide an area as a horizontal mount.
Be sure the Speaker Mounting Slots on the Mounting Bracket are directed in an
upward position as shown in Diagram 1. This is necessary to assure that the speakers
do not fall out of the bracket, should the mounting hardware come loose over time.
Attach the Mounting Bracket to an eave, frame or studs whenever possible for a
secure mount. Test the security of the Mounting Bracket before attaching the speaker.
Loosely screw on washers and bolts, slide the Speaker into the Mounting Bracket.
Make sure washer is outside of bracket as shown in Diagram 2 . Do not fully tighten.
Leave enough play to rotate the speaker to make connections and set Tap Wattage.
