Page 6: Operating Instructions
Operating instructions Satellite speaker: HF Limit LED: The HF Limit LED illuminates yellow when the HF amplifier is beginning to clip. The LED indicates to the user the amplifiers limit has been reached, the overall system gain or the HF gain should be reduced until the LED ceases to illuminate. Failure to observe the instruction may result in component failure within the loudspeaker enclosure. LF Limit LED: The LF Limit LED illuminates red when the LF amplifier is beginning to clip. The LED indicates to the user the amplifiers limit has been reached, the overall system gain or the LF gain should be reduced until the LED ceases to illuminate. Failure to observe the instruction may result in component failure within the loudspeaker enclosure. Active LED: This LED illuminates when the unit is switched on and ready for use. Should the LED fail illuminate please carefully check the mains voltage supply and mains inlet fuse, if the main supply and fuse have been verified and the unit does not show active please consult you’re W Audio dealer for advice and service. Bass (LF) Control: The bass response for the DSR-A loudspeaker can be adjusted by +- 10dB. During normal operation the bass control should be set to the centre (0) position and then adjusted in small amounts to suit the room acoustics or musical content. Treble (HF) Control: The treble response for the DSR-A loudspeaker can be adjusted by +- 10dB. During normal operation the treble control should be set to the centre (0) position and then adjusted in small amounts to suit the room acoustics or musical content. Line Input Gain Control: Input gain control for the balanced XLR line level signal input. Before connecting signal cables the gain control should be turned fully clockwise. Turn clockwise to increase input gain. Master Volume Control: Volume (level) control for the DSR-A loudspeaker. Before connecting signal cables the Volume control should be turned fully clockwise. Turn clockwise to increase loudspeaker output level. - Page 7 Operating instructions & example setups Start Up Place the speaker to the desired installation area and carefully turn it onto its feet. Make sure that the power switch is set to “OFF” before you connect any audio cables. Inputs This speaker system is to be directly connected to the outputs of your audio mixer or keyboard etc. A good quality cable run improves the sound quality considerably. Input cables should be short and direct, since high frequencies may be absorbed if the cables are unnecessarily long. Also a longer cable may lead to humming and noise problems. If long cables runs are unavoidable, you should use balanced cables. Connection • Before connecting the speakers and audio source to this device, make sure that all volume/gain controls are turned fully anti-clockwise in the minimum position. • Turn on the mains power switch and the mains LED will illuminate. • IMPORTANT! DO NOT OVERDRIVE THE SYSTEM. If any distortion or clipping is audible you must reduce the input signal level or reduce the volume of the satellite speakers and bass. Failure to do so will cause damage to the amplifier and or speakers. www.prolight.co.uk DSR Series Active Speakers User Manual...

- Page 12 Operating instructions Balanced XLR Connection Connection With The Mains Connect the unit to the mains via the IEC mains inlet using the 13A UK - IEC cord supplied. The earth has to be connected. Switch the unit on. After switching on the speaker system, wait 8-10 seconds before you turn the volume control up in order to avoid speaker damage. CAUTION! Increase the level of each channel up to the point where the clip LEDs illuminate. Always check the sound pressure level with a meter in order to keep to the legal threshold. Jack plug Replacing The Fuse CAUTION! Before replacing the fuse, please make sure that mains cable is unplugged. Procedure Step 1: Unscrew the fuse holder and the rear panel with a screw driver (anti-clockwise). Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.

Page 13: Installation Instructions
Installation instructions Installation on a Speaker Stand The speaker system may only be installed on a speaker stand if the original speaker system is equipped with an appropriate stand adaptor. Stands or satellite systems must only be installed on a plane area with a maximum inclination angle of 5°. CAUTION: Speaker systems installed under the influence of horizontal forces, e.g. wind, can be impaired. This is why additional safety measures like attaching ballast weights have to be taken. If inclined tension cables or prolonged outriggers are used, the area of danger has to marked or blocked. Before lifting or lowering the telescopic tubes, you must always block a safety area around the stand or satellite system. This safety area must have a diameter of 1.5 times the maximum height. Lifted telescopic tubes always have to be secured with a secondary securing attachment. The total weight of the installation (total weight of system including individual parts) must never exceed the maximum load of the installation area. Unintended movement of the load has to be avoided - also in case of fire! Loosen the fixing screws of the legs, pull the legs out until the cross struts are at a 90˚ angle to the legs. Tighten the fixing screws of the legs. Installation Of The Speaker System CAUTION: The loads have to be installed in a balanced way. CAUTION: The carrying capacity of the stand or speaker stand must never be exceeded. (Note: Stand/s not included) Wall Installation The speaker system can only be installed on a wall, if the original speaker system is equipped with an appropriate mounting point. - Page 14 Installation instructions Overhead Installation If the speaker system is to be installed with a mounting height of more than 1m (e.g. on a stage or framework), the speaker system must always be secured with an appropriate secondary securing attachment. The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment. e.g. an appropriate catch net. The secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails. When rigging, derigging, or servicing the speaker system standing in the area below the installation place, on bridges or other endangered areas are forbidden. The operator has to make sure that the safety data is approved by an expert before operation for the first time and after any changes are made. The operator has to make sure that the safety data is approved by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test. The operator has to make sure that the safety installation data is approved by a skilled person once a year. Procedure The speaker system should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or seated. IMPORTANT! OVER HEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE including (but not limited to) calculating working limits, installation materials used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation materials and the speaker system. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and damage to your property. The speaker system has to be installed out of the reach of people. CAUTION: Speaker systems in overhead installations may cause severe injuries when falling! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do not install the speaker system! Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the speaker systems weight. www.prolight.co.uk DSR Series Active Speakers User Manual...

Page 15: Flying The Speakers
Flying the speakers The speaker must always be secured with three appropriate eye bolts and three appropriate safety ropes. The eyelets and the safety ropes must always hold at least 12 times the weight of the speaker system. (Note: Wall bracket/s not included) Please note: Before installing the eye bolts, make sure that the thread is is always in perfect condition and free from dirt. Install the eye bolts in the threaded holes on the speaker system. The eye bolts must be tightened until the stop position, hand tight with out any tools. Insert the quick links of the safety ropes in the eye bolts of the speaker system. Pull the safety ropes over a safe fixing spot. Insert the end into the quick link and tighten the safety screw. The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20cm. A safety rope which has already held the strain of a fall and is defective must not be used again. DANGER TO LIFE - DUE TO FALLING SPEAKERS SYSTEMS! THE SPEAKER MUST ONLY BE SUSPENDED BY EXPERIENCED AND TRAINED PERSONS, AND SHOULD BE APPROVED BY AN EXPERT www.prolight.co.uk DSR Series Active Speakers User Manual... -
