Never operate this product or touch the power supply cord during an electrical storm, electric shock may result.

Never exceed the power rating on the product when connecting equipment. Fire and/or property damage may result.

Operate the product only with the voltage specified on the unit. Fire and/or electric shock may result if a higher voltage is used.

Do not modify, kink, or cut the power cord. Do not place the power cord in close proximity to heaters and do not place heavy objects on the power cord, including the product itself, doing so may result in fire or electrical shock.

Ensure that the safety ground terminal is connected to a proper ground. Never connect the ground to a gas pipe as a catastrophic disaster may result.

Be sure the installation of the product is stable, avoid slanted surfaces as the product may fall and cause injury or property damage.

Always make sure your system is set up on a level surface and will not fall over.

Always assure power is Off to amplifiers before making any connections. Assure that all electrical equipment is properly grounded.

Suspension or “flying” speaker systems requires training and expertise. Improper rigging of a flying speaker may result in injury, death, equipment damage, and legal liability. Installation must be carried out by fully qualified installers, in accordance with all required safety codes and standards at the place of installation.

A 5:1 design factor is a generally accepted minimum standard. However, legal requirements for overhead suspension vary by municipality, please consult your local safety standards office before installing any product. We also recommend that you thoroughly check any laws and bylaws prior to installation.

Loudspeakers flown in theaters, nightclubs, conference centers, or other places of work and entertainment must be provided with an independent, correctly rated and securely attached secondary safety, in addition to the principle suspension point(s).

If you lack the skills, training, and proper ancillary equipment to fly a speaker system, do not attempt to do so.

Never place heavy objects on the product, causing it to fall and/or break, resulting in personal injury and property damage. In addition, the product itself may fall and cause injury and property damage.

All professional loudspeaker systems are capable of generating very high sound pressure levels. Use care with placement and operation to avoid exposure to excessive levels that can cause permanent hearing damage.

Ensure that the power supply plug is securely plugged into the wall outlet. Never allow dust to accumulate on the power plug or inside the wall outlet.

When cleaning the unit or the unit is not to be operated for an extended period, unplug the power cord from the wall.

1. Power Switch: Turns unit power ON or OFF. Note: There are two programs loaded into the DSP at the factory. When switching between the two programs the power on the amplifier must be in the OFF position.

2. Powercon Input: Connect included Powercon to 3 prong plug to this port in order to deliver electrical power to the amplifier.

3. Powercon Output: Daisy chain multiple amplified speaker systems using this output reducing number of wall plugs required.

4. PGM SEL: This selects between two programs loaded into the DSP. To switch programs, the amplifier must be OFF. Press the button to the IN or OUT position to make a selection, then turn the power ON to store the new selection. Program IN mode is for speech and acoustic music. Program OUT mode is for prerecorded music, with a +4dB boost on the woofer.

5. MUTE CH1 & CH2: These are two mute switches. When depressed, the channel is active. CH1 controls the woofer and CH2 controls the line array. Press a button a second time to activate the mute function.

6. LED Indicators:

• PWR: Green LED indicates unit is receiving power from a wall outlet.

• CLIP: Yellow LED indicates the unit is operating outside its normal range. Reduce the output of the source unit to avoid damage. This unit can flash occasionally during normal use.

• PROT: Red LED indicates the amplifier is in Protect mode. Do not operate the unit when the red LED is illuminated.

7. SIGNAL LED: Green LED indicates the unit is receiving a signal from the source unit.

8. Volume Control: Adjusts the volume of the speaker unit from 0 to -36dB in reference to the master volume set at the source/mixer.

9. Input: XLR connection delivers a signal from the source unit.

10. Looping Output: XLR connection delivers a signal from the source unit.

11. Speakon Output 1: Connect to Line Array Speakon input to deliver signal to the line array speaker.

12. Speakon Output 2: Connect to Speakon input of ELW110X-B unit to transmit signal to a second ELI unit.

1. Speakon Input 1: Connect to the Subwoofer Speakon output to deliver a signal to the line array speaker.

2. Speakon Output 1: Connect to an auxiliary line array or to other speakers if necessary.

1. Position all speakers in the area in which they need to be set-up. Place both of the subwoofer cabinets (ELW110A-B & ELW110X-B) upright with the hole for the mounting pole facing up. Locate their positions in the venue making sure they are on a level surface for the best support for the arrays. Note: The system can be set up slightly behind the performer so that the performer is hearing the same mix as the audience.

2. Insert the included 45″ pole into the pole mount hole on the subwoofer cabinet. Position the EL1503-B array on top of the pole making sure the complete system is level. NOTE: The vertical coverage of the EL1503-B is +/- 5° off of the top and bottom of the cabinet. A shorter mounting pole may be necessary to keep the array energy aimed to cover the audience. This shorter pole is optional.

3. Repeat these two steps with the 2nd pair of cabinets.

4. First, connect the included long NL4 speaker cable between the two subwoofer cabinets. Second, connect the short NL4 cables from the subwoofer cabinet to the 1503 arrays (it does not matter which NL4 female output is used). Connect your signal male XLR cable to the input of the amp.

5. Turn on the unit power and adjust volume as needed.

6. The system can be dismantled following the previous steps in reverse order to ensure proper disconnection and future functionality.
