VOID CYCLONE BASS (02) PDF Document

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with a dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat source such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other such apparatus that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect power cords from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments and accessories specified by Void Acoustics.

12. Only use with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15. Since the mains power supply cord attachment plug is used to disconnect the device, the plug should always be easily accessible.

16. Void loudspeakers can produce sound levels capable of causing permanent hearing damage from prolonged exposure. The higher the sound level, the less exposure needed to cause such damage. Avoid prolonged exposure to the high sound levels from the loudspeaker.

Inspect your shipment for any signs of contamination, abuse or transit damage as soon as you receive it.

Check your delivery fully against your order.

If your shipment is incomplete or any of its contents are found to be damaged; inform the shipping company and inform your dealer.

Cyclone Series loudspeakers come double boxed are stapled shut; take care when unboxing and removing the staples to avoid injury or damage to the loudspeaker.

If you need to place the loudspeaker on a flat surface ensure you use a lint free product to protect the finish.

When you have removed the loudspeaker from the packaging inspect it to ensure there is no damage and keep all original packaging in case it needs to be returned for any reason.

We recommend specifying installation-grade Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) cables for permanent installations. The cables should use Oxygen Free Copper (OFC) of grade C11000 or above. Cables for permanent installations should be compliant with the following standards:

IEC 60332.1 Fire retardancy of a single cable

IEC 60332.3C Fire retardancy of bunched cables

IEC 60754.1 Amount of Halogen Gas Emissions

IEC 60754.2 Degree of acidity of released gases

IEC 61034.2 Measurement of smoke density.

We suggest using the following maximum copper cable lengths to keep level losses below 0.6 dB.

The rear panel of a Cyclone Series loudspeaker has a Phoenix connector. When viewed from the rear, the connectors are labelled as follows from left to right:

Negative (-)

Positive (+)

Negative (-)

Positive (+)

1. Remove both M6 bolts from the rear of the connector plate.

2. Undo the glanded connectors from the rear of the connector plate.

3. Insert the cable through the glanded connectors and tighten.

4. Attach the cable to the phoenix connector.

5. Position the connector plate and insert the two M6 bolts.

For applications requiring wide horizontal coverage, use two Cyclone 10 in pairs, angled at about 40° for Cyclone 10 and 50° for Cyclone 55.

Vertical dispersion is often overlooked. With optimum vertical positioning and aiming applied the loudspeaker system can be used at maximum efficiency. With a point source loudspeaker in this configuration the speaker is placed 2m-4m from the ground, aimed half way to two thirds of the way back from the audience area.

Avoid directing the loudspeakers straight forward. This will result in a proportion of the power being directed towards the walls, creating possible reflective issues, as well as causing a gap in coverage at the centre of the audience area.

Taking measurement on site and using your ear are still the most reliable way to achieve the best results. However, a guide for calculation is as follows:

When four loudspeakers sit on a circle of radius R with its centre point at O, and the low frequency enclosure is situated at a distance A from the origin and a distance B from the circumference of the circle:

The distance B will determine the delay required for the low frequency enclosure of 2.9 ms per metre.

To calculate delay for a secondary focal point (E) at the south edge of the circle, where D is the distance from E to the south edge:

(A – D) x 2.9 ms/m = delay time.

5 mm Allen key (Cyclone 55)

6 mm Allen key (Cyclone 8/10)

Safety regulations vary in different regions. Full compliance with those regulations must be your priority.

Rigging must only be undertaken by fully-qualified and experienced riggers who understand local regulations.

This may include consulting a structural engineer before installation of wall brackets.

Remember that all personnel have a duty of care to themselves, to their assistants, to the venue staff and to the public.

Before lifting any part of the system above head height, check the whole rig for loose tools or other items that may fall and cause injury.

Do not use a telephone (even if hands-free) while rigging. Always concentrate fully on the rigging operation.

Do not rig equipment that is worn, damaged, corroded, mishandled or over-stressed in any way.

Use only Void-approved mounting equipment and accessories.
