Introduction, What’s Included, Mounting

Introduction

Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of the AcousticDesign™ AD-S32T multi- use, weather resistant loudspeakers. These products represent the state-of-the-art in all- weather, lightweight SR (sound reinforcement) loudspeaker systems. To get the most from your investment, we encourage you to review this manual carefully.

The AD-S32T loudspeaker systems are full range, high output, two-way designs delivering superior sound quality and high SPL in a lightweight, weather resistant enclosure. The low frequency driver is magnetically shielded and the neodymium high frequency driver has very little stray magnetic field, making the AD-S32T perfect for use near video monitors. The included ball mount and yoke mount provide secure and versatile installation. These loudspeakers make an excellent choice for a wide variety of SR applications.

AD-S32T models have a 70V/100V matching transformer and tap selector switch. The transformer may be bypassed.

The illustration (at right) highlights product features:

1- one set of threaded inserts for yoke mount (top and bottom) 2- transformer tap selector

3- screw terminal style input connectors

Mounting

Stand Alone Mounting

If using the loudspeaker only (no ball mount or yoke mount) the loudspeaker can be set on any appropriate surface. The cabinet will lean back at a slight angle when set on a flat sur- face.

When operated at high output levels, the cabinet can vibrate, causing the cabinet to move or creep if set on a hard surface.

Safety Cable Attachment

On the back of the loudspeaker, near the bottom, is a safety cable attachment point.

Install a safety cable strong enough to support several times the weight of the loud- speaker assembly in the event it may fall. The safety cable should be no more that 1 foot in length and provide at least 6" in slack.

IMPORTANT! ENSURE THAT THE LOUDSPEAKER IS MOUNTED PROPERLY AND A SAFETY CABLE IS INSTALLED TO RETAIN THE LOUDSPEAKER IN THE EVENT OF A MOUNTING FAILURE.
