User manual GENELEC 1032

[. . . ] Check that the mains voltage selector is correctly set. Audio input is made via a 10k Ohm balanced (XLR), but unbalanced leads may be used as long as pin 3 is grounded to pin 1 of the XLR (see figure 3). Once connection has been made, the speakers are ready to be powered-up. Drivers The bass frequencies are reproduced by a 10" (250 mm) bass driver loaded in a 24 liters vented cabinet. The -3dB point lies at 40 Hz and the low frequency response extends down to 36 Hz (-6dB). [. . . ] Variable input Setting tone controls The acoustic response of the system may also have to be adjusted to match the acoustic environment. The adjustment is done by setting the three tone control switches 'treble tilt', 'bass tilt' and 'bass roll-off' on the rear panel of the amplifier. The manufacturers default settings for these controls are 'All Off' to give a flat anechoic response. See Figure 1 for suggested tone control settings in differing acoustic environments. Figure 5 shows the effect of the controls on the anechoic response. Speaker acoustic axis and dimensions in horizontal and vertical mounting positions. adjustment by setting all switches to 'OFF' position. Then set only one switch to ON position to select response curve needed. If more than one switch is set to 'ON' (within one switch group) the attenuation value is not accurate. standards, to ensure safe operation and to maintain the instrument under safe operating conditions, the following warnings and cautions should be observed. Servicing and adjustment should only be performed by qualified service personnel. Opening the amplifier's rear panel is strictly prohibited except by qualified service personnel who are aware of the hazards involved. It is forbidden to use this product with an unearthed mains cable, which may lead to personal injury. 5. Accessories Several additional options are available for the 1032A: Flightcase Handles Grille Wall mount Floor stand 1032-401 1032-406 1032-409 1032-404 V/H* 1032-405 V/H* Vertical / horizontal mounting The speakers are delivered normally for vertical mounting. If horizontal mounting is needed the DCW plate can be rotated so that the GENELEC logo is located at the bottom left corner of the DCW. Remove the four corner screws of the DCW (use a Torx 20 screw driver) and pull the plate carefully out without stressing the wires and the gasket. Rotate the plate 90 degrees to the appropriate direction and remount the screws. Note that to get mirror image pair the DCW must be rotated to different direction in left and right speaker. In horizontal mounting position the bass drivers should point inwards to get better low frequency summing. - *State the desired speaker orientation V=vertical or H=horizontal when ordering these accessories - 6. Guarantee This product is supplied with a ONE YEAR guarantee against manufacturing faults or defects that might alter the performance of the 1032A unit. Refer to supplier for full sales and guarantee terms. WARNING!This equipment is capable of delivering Sound Pressure Levels in excess of 90 dB, which may cause permanent hearing damage. Console top mounting If the 1032A's are used for console top monitoring it is recommended not to mount the speakers directly on the console. [. . . ] The curves to the right show the effect of the treble and midrange 'level' controls. Figure 6. The upper curve group shows the horizontal directivity characteristics of 1032A in its vertical configuration measured at 1m. The lower curve is a 1/3 octave band power response, measured in an IEC approved reverberation chamber.
