RIGGING

The FUSSION 1800SA and 1800S cabinets are not designed for rigging or flying. The cabinets are for floor-mounting only.

WARNING: Never attempt to suspend the FUSSION 1800SA or 1800S loudspeakers by their handles.

AC POWER

The FUSSION 1800SA is shipped with a connector that mates with the AC receptacle on the rear panel. Use heavy gauge wire for the linecord to avoid power losses across the wire.

The following guide should be followed when wiring a linecord:

AC Power Connectors

Be sure the FUSSION 1800SA is plugged into an outlet that is able to supply the correct voltage specified for your model. If the voltage should drop below 97% of the

specified line voltage, the built-in amplifiers will no longer be able to supply rated power. (They will continue to operate down to 80% of the rated line voltage, but won’t reach full power, resulting in lower headroom.)

Under maximum SPL conditions, where musical peaks are just clipping, the FUSSION 1800SA has the following current requirements:

 

115V

230V

Max. Continuous RMS

10A

6A

Max. Peak

12A

8A

 

 

 

Be sure the electrical service can supply enough amperage for all the components connected to it.

We recommend that a stiff (robust) supply of AC power be used because the amplifiers place high current demands on the AC line. The more power that is available on the line, the louder the speakers will play and the more peak output power will be available for cleaner, punchier bass. A suspected problem of “poor bass perfor- mance” is often caused by a weak AC supply to the amplifiers.

Never remove the ground pin on the power cord of the FUSSION 1800SA or any other component. This is very dangerous.
