3. geNerAL DeScrIpTION The TOA SR-D8-M and SR-D8-S are all-in-one Active Line Array Speaker Systems, each featuring a CobraNet digital audio input (SR-D8-M only), digital signal processor, digital power amplifier, and speakers configured in a line array. Precise control of the speaker’s vertical directivity and acoustic beamwidth makes it possible to create fully optimized sound spaces in a wide range of locations.
5. INSTALLATION precAUTIONS To avoid equipment failures, do not install the speaker in locations exposed to high temperatures or high humidity, such as indoor swimming pools. 6. HANDLINg precAUTIONS • The supplied power supply cord is designed for exclusive use with this unit. Never use it with other equipment. • Install the unit in locations where the temperature is between 0 and +40 °C (32 and 104°F) and the moisture is less than 90% (no dew condensation must be formed). • The units are precision audio components. To prevent failure, avoid locations where the unit may be exposed to strong shocks or vibrations.

Outputs signals from SR-D8-M to SR-D8-S’s Connects to a 100BASE-TX-compatible network. Local link input terminal (14) when interconnecting Connect this terminal to a PC via a switching hub. SR-D8-M and SR-D8-S units in 3-unit or 4-unit Use RJ45 connector.
9. cOMMUNIcATIONS beTWeeN pc AND SpeAkerS Connect the PC to the SR-D8-M’s/SR-D8-S’s LAN connection terminal via a switching hub. Use a straight through cable (STP Category 5 or higher cable fitted with RJ45 connectors) for connection. Up to 4 stacks (up to 16 speakers) can be controlled by a single PC.

10.5. removable Terminal plug connection Notes • Avoid soldering stranded or shielded cable, as contact resistance may increase when the cable is tightened and the solder is crushed, possibly resulting in an excessive rise in joint temperatures. • When connecting 2 cables or a shielded cable to a single terminal, use a ferrule terminal with an insulation sleeve to crimp the cables because such cable conductors could become loose. Use the No. 4 ferrule terminal when connecting 2 cables to a single terminal.
10.6. Fixing power Supply cord To prevent the power supply cord from being SR-D8-M rear SR-D8-S rear accidentally pulled out, fix it using the supplied cord clamp as shown at right. Cord clamp Cord clamp Power cord (supplied Power cord (supplied with the SR-D8-M) with the SR-D8-S)
10.7. System expansion Using cobraNet connection 10.7.1. cobraNet connection outline The system can be expanded by connecting the SR-D8-M’s CobraNet terminals to the D-2008SP with the D-2000CB CobraNet Interface Module. Connect the SR-D8-M to the D-2008SP via a switching hub. Connect each of CobraNet Primary and Secondary ports of the SR-D8-M to the same switching hub or different switching hubs connected in cascade.
