‘treble tilt’ to -2 dB, if too bass heavy, set ‘bass tilt’ to -2 dB. The adjustment is done by setting the three groups of room response control switches ‘treble tilt’, ‘bass tilt’ and ‘bass roll-off’ on the front panel of the amplifier. The manufacturer default settings for all controls are ‘All Off’ to give a flat response in half space, i.e. when the speaker has been installed in a wall. Always start adjustment by setting all switches to the ‘OFF’ position. Then set only one switch within each group to the ‘ON’ position to select the desired response curve. The switches are not cumulative. If more than one switch is set to ‘ON’ (within one switch group) the attenuation value is not accurate.

Using Autostart and Remote control functions

In daily use, the RAM1 amplifier can be switched to “STANDBY” mode to save energy by activating the signal sensing Autostart function or by using a remote control unit (not included in the AIW26 system). If the system is left unused for several days, we recommend that you power it down using the RAM1’s main power switch or a central power switch if one has been installed.

The Autostart function is activated by turning switch 4 (AUTOSTART) on the first switch group to “ON”. Autostart turns the amplifier to “STANDBY” mode if there is no signal present for about 30 minutes. When the signal returns the amplifier switches on immediately and the speaker functions normally.

If you are using a remote control to switch the RAM1 between “STANDBY” or “ON” modes (see chapter “Connecting the RAM1 ampli- fier”), turn switch 3 (REMOTE CONTROL), on the first switch group to “ON”. This activates the remote control function. In this setting the remote control will override the Autostart function. If you want to use Autostart, turn the “REMOTE CONTROL” switch to “OFF”.

Protecting the settings

The control group of the RAM1 can be cov-

ered with a piece of plexiglass to protect the settings. Attach the plexiglass over the switch groups with two Phillips screws when you have completed the adjustments. Do not overtighten the screws.

Status indicator LED

The status indicator LED on the RAM1 changes colour to indicate amplifier status. If the LED is yellow, it indicates that the amplifier is in “STANDBY” mode. When the amplifier is switched to “ON” mode, the LED changes to green colour.

Automatic protection circuits

The AIW26 system has protection circuits against speaker driver thermal overload and amplifier overheating. The protection system resets automatically so the user only has to turn the input level down to ensure that it does not reactivate.

Driver thermal overload protection protects the drivers from damage caused by prolonged overdriving with excessively high or distorted signal. The circuit automatically reduces the volume of the channel that is being overloaded. To avoid this, lower the listening volume if the sound becomes harsh and distorted at high sound pressure levels.

Amplifier thermal protection turns the amplifier to “STANDBY” mode if the amplifier over- heats. Let the amplifier cool down and check that there is sufficient clearance around the amplifier for cooling (see chapters “Space requirement for the RAM1 amplifier” and “Mounting the RAM1 amplifier to an equipment rack” above). If the problem persists, consult your Genelec dealer or Home Theater Installation company for an improved cooling solution for your equipment cabinet or rack.

Maintenance

There are no user serviceable parts within the loudspeaker or the amplifier. Any maintenance or repair should only be undertaken by qualified service personnel.

Safety considerations

•Servicing and adjustment must only be performed by qualified service personnel. The loudspeaker or amplifier must not be opened.

•Do not use this product with an unearthed mains cable as this may compromise electrical safety.

•Do not expose the loudspeaker or the ampli- fier to water or moisture. Do not place any objects filled with liquid, such as vases, on or near them.

•Do not place naked flame sources like lighted candles on or near the loudspeaker or the amplifier.

•This loudspeaker is capable of producing sound pressure levels in excess of 85 dB, which may cause permanent hearing damage.

•Free flow of airaround the amplifier is nec- essary to maintain sufficient cooling. Do not obstruct airflow around the amplifier.

•Note that the amplifier is not completely dis- connected from the AC mains service unless the mains power cord is removed from the amplifier or the mains outlet.

WARNING!

This equipment is capable of delivering Sound Pressure Levels in excess of 85dB, which may cause permanent hearing damage.
