2. Safety Precautions
Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent personal injury and property damage.
- Installation: Ensure the speaker is securely mounted to a structure capable of supporting its weight. Incorrect installation may cause the speaker to fall, resulting in injury.
- Power: Connect the speaker to an amplifier with appropriate power output and impedance. Overloading can damage the speaker.
- Environment: While the speaker has splash-proof construction (IPX3), avoid direct exposure to heavy rain or prolonged submersion. Do not install in locations with extreme temperatures or high humidity beyond specified operating conditions.
- Servicing: Do not attempt to open or modify the speaker. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
3. Key Features
- 2-Way Bass-Reflex Design: Features a 4.72" (12 cm) cone woofer and a 1" (dome-type) tweeter for a wide frequency response (80 Hz - 20 kHz).
- Versatile Impedance Options: Selectable between low impedance (8 Ohms) and high impedance (100V/70V line) via a rotary switch.
- Splash-Proof Construction: IPX3 compliant, allowing installation under eaves where direct rain exposure is limited.
- Durable Enclosure: Constructed with ABS resin and a steel mesh grille, both in white (RAL9010 PURE WHITE).
- Rated Input: 30 W.
- Sound Pressure Level: 90 dB (1 W, 1 m).
4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Package Contents
Please verify that all components are present before proceeding with installation:
- TOA BS-1030W Speaker Unit
- Mounting Bracket
- Instruction Manual (this document)
- (Additional mounting hardware may be required depending on installation surface, not included)
4.2 Mounting Considerations
The BS-1030W speaker is designed for wall mount or floor standing applications. The included bracket facilitates secure wall mounting.
- Choose a mounting location that can structurally support the speaker's weight (approximately 5.5 pounds).
- For outdoor use, install the speaker under eaves or in a sheltered area to protect it from direct heavy rain, leveraging its IPX3 splash-proof rating.
- Ensure adequate space around the speaker for proper sound dispersion and heat dissipation.
4.3 Impedance Selection and Wiring
The speaker features a rotary switch on the rear for selecting between low impedance (8 Ohms) and various high impedance (100V/70V line) tap settings. Ensure the amplifier is turned OFF before making any impedance selections or wiring connections.
- Select Impedance: Rotate the switch to the desired setting (e.g., 8Ω for low impedance, or a specific wattage tap for 100V/70V line systems). Refer to your amplifier's specifications for compatible impedance and power requirements.
- Connect Speaker Wires: The speaker is equipped with a 2-core cabtyre cord. Connect these wires to the appropriate speaker output terminals on your amplifier. Observe correct polarity (+ to +, - to -).
- Secure Connections: Ensure all wire connections are tight and secure to prevent intermittent sound or short circuits.
5. Operation
Once the speaker is securely installed and wired, you can begin operation.
- Power On: Turn on your amplifier and any connected audio sources.
- Volume Adjustment: Start with the amplifier volume at its lowest setting and gradually increase it to a comfortable listening level. Avoid excessively high volumes that may cause distortion or damage to the speaker.
- Audio Source: Play audio from your connected device (e.g., music player, microphone for paging).
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your speaker.
- Cleaning: Wipe the speaker enclosure and grille with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong chemicals.
- Inspection: Periodically check mounting hardware for tightness and signs of wear. Inspect speaker wires for any damage.
- Environmental Protection: Ensure the speaker remains protected from direct, heavy weather conditions to maintain its splash-proof integrity.
