Important !

Product care and maintenance:
• Do not expose the enclosure to heat sources (heaters or other
products that produce heat).
• Never expose the enclosure to direct sunlight, excessive vibrations
or mechanical shocks.
• Avoid operating and storing the enclosure in damp or dusty
places: this may lead to malfunctions and premature degrading
of specifications.
• Avoid using the enclosure close to strong sources of electro-
magnetic interferences (e.g. video monitors, high power electrical
cabling). This may lead to degradation of audio quality.
• When setting up the system up outdoors, be sure to protect it
against rain.
• Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquid is
not spilled onto the enclosure. In public event don't let people,
musicians, technicians or anyone put glasses, cups, ashtrays or
cigarettes on the enclosure.
• Always leave the protective grid mounted on the enclosure.
• Use a soft brush or a jet of air to clean the enclosure.
Do not use alcohol, solvents or detergents.
• Take care of your connector cables. Make sure that they are
not damaged, knotted or twisted.
• Do not force connectors and controls.
• Make sure the mains power switch is off ('0') before starting
any connection.
Power supply connection:
• Make sure the mains power switch is off ('0').
• Check that mains voltage corresponds to the voltage
indicated on the panel, under the mains socket.
• Use only the factory supplied mains cable or, if a different plug
style is needed, a suitable cable with a ground connection and
marked with the safety approvals valid in the country of use
Connection to the mixer:
If the mixer has XLR balanced outputs:
- use standard balanced XLR connectors.
If the mixer has XLR unbalanced outputs:
- in this case, unless using a Montarbo mixer, make sure that
the XLR outputs on the mixer are unbalanced to IEC 268
standard: 1 = GND, 2 = HOT, 3 = GND.
If the mixer has JACK balanced outputs (stereo jacks):
- it is possible to use stereo Jack-stereo Jack cables or stereo
jack-XLR adapters, wired according to IEC 268:
pin 1 = ground (sleeve), pin 2 = tip, pin 3 = ring.
If the mixer has JACK unbalanced outputs (mono jacks):
- use suitable Jack-XLR male adapters unbalanced according
to IEC 268: pin 1=ground, pin 2= tip, pin 3=ground
☛ See 'connectors' at page 26.
• Always use only heavy gauge, high quality SHIELDED cables
(signal cables).
• Always make sure that the mixer and the powered enclosures
are switched off before connecting them.
This will to avoid annoying noises and signal peaks, which can
also be dangerous for the enclosures themselves.
Parallel connection of two or more systems:
• Always make sure to use only heavy gauge, high quality SHIELDED
cables. Connect the LINK OUT of the first T10A to the LINK IN of
the second one, the LINK OUT of the second system to the LINK IN
of the third one and so on.
