6. USE

- Placement and Setup
Please consider the following general rules:
Place the acoustic enclosures on solid and firm surfaces. No obstacles should exist
between the acoustic enclosures and the audience. In contrast with low frequencies, high
frequencies are extremely directive and any obstacle will impair their response. When addressing a
large audience, the higher the enclosures are flown, the better long distance sound propagation will
be achieved. Given the enclosures characteristics, it's recommended the use of normalised stands
(35mm diameter rod) that will be inserted in the so for designed room in the lower side of the
enclosure.
The Philos 12A unit is also prepared for performing in the stage in a landscape format,
being used as stage monitor.
The unit can be flown using the optional accessory SR 12 or by means of its 10 rigging
points (see diagram). These rigging points consist of four embedded nuts in the back of the
enclosure and six in the top and the bottom. When using SR 12 fixings, an additional safety cable
must be attached.
The units must never be flown from its transportation handles.
- Mains connection
The Philos 12A unit works at 115/230 ACV 50-60 Hz, having a mains tension selection
switch in its rear panel. Make sure that the mains wire is not engaged with the signal wires in order
to avoid possible hum.
As a protection against possible mains overloads, the unit includes a T5A 250V 5x20 type
fuse. In case the fuse blows, the unit must be disconnected and the fuse would be replaced by
another one of the same characteristics. If it blows again, please ask our Technical Service.
ATTENTION: DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, SHORT-CIRCUIT THE
PROTECTION CIRCUIT OR USE A HIGHER VALUE FUSE.
WARNING: Fuse replacement must be done by a technician.
- Audio input connections
Audio input connections are electronically balanced, and use XLR3 connectors. The pin
assignment is as follows:
Depending on the LINE/MIC switch position, the input will hold a different signal level:
- Line inputs
Their sensibility is -10dBV (316mV). CD players, DAT, MP3, DVD Audio, keyboards, tape
recorders, deck players, tuners, as well as signals from other consoles, will be connected to this
kind of inputs. Given that, normally, this sound sources are not electronically balanced, extra caution
will be required to make sure that pins 1 and 3 are shortcircuited and connected to earth, being pin 2
the carrier of active signal.
