PRECAUTIONS

Important Notice

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD – DO NOT OPEN

The flashing light with an arrowhead symbol inside an equilateral triangle on it is intended to alert the user of the presence of non-insulated “dangerous voltage” within the enclosure, which might be of sufficient magnitude to pose a risk of electric shock to users.

The exclamation mark within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the requirement for important operating and maintenance (servicing), for which instructions may be found in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING (If applicable): Terminals marked with the symbol “ ” may be of sufficient magnitude to pose a risk of electric shock. The external wiring connected to terminals requires installation by a technician or the use of ready-made leads or cords.
WARNING: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or humidity.

WARNING: A device with Class I manufacturing ought to be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
WARNING: Ecler products have a long lifetime of more than 10 years. This product must never be discarded as unsorted urban waste, but must be taken to the nearest electrical and electronic waste treatment centre.

DESCRIPTION & FEATURES

MIA Series is a family of elegant, uni,que and compact design column loudspeakers, built in a single aluminium piece to avoid vibrations and mechanical stress.

MIA-81 includes 8×1.5” drivers with an RMS rating of 40W, and MIA-82 includes 8×2.5” drivers with an RMS rating of 150W. Both models behave as a mini line array with the disposition of 8 drivers per column and the possibility of working in 16 Ω or 64 Ω by selecting them behind the logo without the need to remove the grille.
MIA Series is available in black and white colour, AISIP44 graded, ready for outdoor applications.
As a highlight, a stainless-steel wall-mount bracket is included for height adjustment at any point along the length of the column. MIA-81 includes the FLATY bracket that allows the column to be mounted against the wall and
MIA-82 includes the incredibly versatile HANDY wall-mount smart pan and tilt bracket.

Main Features

Column passive loudspeaker for surface mounting.
Possibility of working in 16 Ω or 64 Ω by selecting them behind the logo without the need to remove the grille.
Aluminium one-piece non-resonant compact enclosure.

Stack Output.
FLATY bracket allows the column to be mounted against the wall (MIA-81).
HANDY wall-mount versatile pan and tilt bracket included (MIA-82).

Weather-protected with an IP44 rating.
Available in white (RAL9003) and black (RAL9005).
EASE files available.

IMPEDANCE SELECTOR

MIA Series has 2 impedance options (16Ω and 64Ω) to install more or fewer speakers in parallel. In this matter, it has a 2-position switch on its front panel (behind the logo) that allows selecting its working mode without removing the grill.

CONNECTIONS

The connection cables that connect the amplifier’s output and the speaker should be of good quality, have sufficient conductors, and be as short as possible. The latter fact is especially important when the distance is long and the load impedance is 16 Ω. A cross-section of at least 2.5mm2 is recommended for distances up to 10m; 4 or 6mm2 for longer distances. The following formula gives the required section, assuming 4% losses:

High Impedance Amplifiers

Always respect the polarity. The loudspeaker has an INPUT Euroblock connector and a second STACK Euroblock connector, thereby facilitating the parallel connection of speakers.

RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER
The output power of the recommended amplifier for MIA-81 is 80W RMS, and for MIA-82 is 300W RMS.

POSITIONING & INSTALLATION

Positioning

Consider the following general rules.
Place the speaker on a solid and firm surface. No obstacles should stand between the enclosures and the audience. The high frequencies are very directive compared to the low frequencies, so that any obstacle will impair their response. In case large audiences must be addressed, a better long-distance sound propagation will be achieved if the enclosures are flown high enough.
