System Setup

To get your SxA system into operation as quickly as possible, please observe the following steps

·Plug the 3-terminal IEC 16-gauge ac cable into a grounded line receptacle. Extension cords can be used to lengthen the ac cable as necessary but make sure that they are 3-conductor 14 gauge or greater, and that are properly grounded to avoid electrical hazards and extraneous noise.

·Be sure that the SxA system is plugged into an ac power source that is capable of supplying the correct voltage. If the line voltage drops too much, the built-in amplifiers won’t be able to develop their rated power and sound quality will suffer. Under high signal conditions, the SxA amplifier section can pull 2 – 4 amps of current (120 volt models) (1 – 2 amps at 240 volts). That means that no more than 4-SxAsystems should be plugged into a single 15 amp electrical service. Be cautious of what else is plugged into the same electrical service line to avoid electrical problems and poor performance.

·BEFORE TURNING THE POWER ON, MAKE SURE THAT THE LEVEL CONTROLS ARE DOWN TO AVOID TRANSIENTS OR UNEXPECTED LOUD SOUND. Turn on the power switch and ensure that the system is receiving power by monitoring the status LED to the left of the switch above the EQ controls. If the system is receiving power, the LED will illuminate green.

·SxA loudspeakers have narrower coverage than other compact loudspeaker systems. Their narrower coverage will help you avoid room acoustics problems by delivering the sound where the speaker is aimed. You will find that precisely aiming the speakers at the audience area away from walls will give you better sound quality.and precautions (see Figures 3-7)
