EAW SMS5 instruction manual Installation, Connections

4. INSTALLATION

The special hexagonal shape of the cabinet makes it possible to position the speaker in various way, as shown in the figure. The EAW Commercial plate on the front protective grille can be rotated to adapt it to the position of the speaker. The speaker body has four M6 threaded inserts, one each on the top and bottom and two on the back, used for attaching accessories for installing the speaker in different ways.

The SMS5 (SMS5W) loudspeakers are supplied with a black (white) ball joint support for wall mounting.

WARNING: Consult a professional rigger or structural engineer prior to suspending loudspeakers from a structure not intended for that use. Always

know the working load limit of the structure supporting the loudspeaker array. Always make sure that the rigging hardware minimum rating is at least five times the actual load.

5. CONNECTIONS

The gold-plated banana jacks are designed to accept single or double banana plugs and two-pole cables. They provide a method of quickly connecting and disconnecting speaker cables to and from the speaker. Double banana plugs have a tab on own side to indicate the ground (GND) side of the connector. The side connects to the negative (–) terminal. If you use bipolar cables, we recommend choosing cables that have a suitable cross-section (maximum diameter 6mm), as poor quality cables or those of unsuitable size may cause power loss and sound degradation.
