[. . . ] Now we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy! Matthew Bramble Technical Director About this unit The AS10 pair is made up of one speaker with the amplifier attached (active AS10-A) and one conventional (passive AS10-P) speaker. The AS10 is A-BUS compatible for use where an installer wishes to avoid the complication of a separate keypad and speakers. The drive unit and crossover have been designed to take account of the angles, frequencies and energy distribution characteristics of in-wall and in-ceiling applications. The discreet visual design of this product ensures that it is the quality of the audio performance rather than their appearance that holds the attention.

If your speakers are wired incorrectly they will be out of phase and sound hollow and indistinct, with a weak bass.

We recommend that high quality cables of 16 gauge or higher be used. Your professional dealer will give you good advice. powered components before making any loudpeaker or component connections. This will avoid the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment. Separate about 100 mm of speaker cable at each end, then using a wire stripper, remove about 10mm of insulation from both ends of the conductor, and then twist the strands (see fig. 1 above opposite). When connecting the AS10-A to the AS10-P, observing polarity is of the utmost importance. Ensure that the red (+) terminals on your active speaker are connected to the red (+) terminals on the passive speaker, WIRING GUIDE EIA / TIA 568A wiring standard (View from contact end) 1 white /green 2 green 3 white /orange 4 blue 5 white /blue 6 orange 7 white /brown 8 brown Cat5e cable terminated at AS10 8-way punch down connector 12345678 1 white /brown 2 brown 3 white /blue 4 blue 5 white /green 6 green 7 white /orange 8 orange Incognito active ceiling speakers 7 USING THE REMOTE HANDSET The AS10 s are operated via the LR10 which is a learning remote control capable of controlling not only the AS10 but also the source equipment. 1.
