INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the recommended installation procedure for the Ionic-V24.
The Ionic series is Lynx Pro Audio’s answer to light, portable and permanent column speakers. The Ionic series comprise four full-range modular columns (Ionic-100, Ionic-50, Ionic -v24 and Ionic- v28), one small coaxial cabinet (Ionic-5CX) and two subwoofers (Ionic-18S and Ionic-12S).
The columns are very low profile, versatile, aesthetically pleasing and are designed for reverberant installations where intelligible, clear voice reproduction is paramount and where a low profile, discreet column is required. They are very easy to install and can be done so either horizontally or vertically.
The full range columns can be powered from the active subwoofers and also offer various preset configurations from the integrated DSP.
Please note that a wide range of mounting accessories is available.

Ionic Series User Manual
Before starting to use this device, please read this instruction manual carefully. Keep these instructions in the place where the equipment will be used and with easy access to them.
· Electrical appliance
The exclamation mark within a triangle identifies the presence of electricity. Use the system carefully without wet hands or feet. Avoid installing the speaker in wet or excesivelly humid places. Do not place material that contains liquid on or near the unit. Avoid dripping or splashing water or any liquid over the unit. Regularly check the condition of the cables and make sure these are not being walked on or pinched. Connect the speaker to bipolar, earthed mains. The mains plug must be connected to the appropriate protection (fuse or breaker). Connection to any other type of mains could result in an electrical shock and violate local electrical codes. CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT THE AC POWER CONNECTORS UNDER LOAD.
· Heavy equipment Apply back protection when using the system. Avoid loading and unloading at heights.
· Electrical shock risk
The diagonal mark within a triangle identifies the presence of dangerous voltage. Do not open or handle the interior of the box. These parts are not to be adjusted by the user. For maintenance and/ or repair please go to an authorized service centre.In order to reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect from AC before plug in or unplugging Audio signal cables. Reconnect to AC only if all signal connections are made and secured. Never manipulate the ground type plug provided. The AC mains plugs should always remain accessible for operation. Unplug the loudspeaker during storms or when it’s being used for a long time.
· Hearing damage risk These systems can reproduce large quantities of sound pressure which can damage hearing. Take precautions if you are going to be near them for extended amounts of time and do not get too close.
· Hanging / Flying
Do not hang the cabinets from the handles or from any other part other than the designated hanging point. When flying this system please observe the technical and “Rainbow” software data carefully. Never exceed the maximum safe working loads or ignore the instructions included within this manual. Use Only flying accessories provided by Lynx Pro Audio S.L. Rigging must be always carried out by professionals.
· Delicate Material Please ensure no foreign object or water enters the speaker. Only clean the unit with dry cloths. Do not use solvents.

CONNECTORS AND CONNECTIONS
· ACOUSTIC CENTRE When mounting an ionic column is essential to understand that the height of the unit above the floor level is extremely critical. The correct operational height is the height of the ionic’s “acoustic centre”. The acoustic centre of the Ionic-v24 is located between the four speakers of the top.
When two Ionic-v24 columns have to be used to form one column then the upper column must be placed upside down, so its acoustic centre is in touch with the acoustic centre of the above cabinet. Note that the Lynx round logo indicates which way is up, so you can see when a column is upside down, when you see that the round logo of the cabinet is at the top of the column, and the L is inverted.
Column placed upside down, the round logo is at the top of the cabinet and the L is inverted
These four speakers are the full range section of the column. This is the acoustic centre of the system.
Column in its normal position, the round logo with the L is at the bottom of the cabinet

RAINBOW 3D Acoustic Prediction Software
Lynx Pro Audio’s R&D department is working on Rainbow 3D, a new acoustic simulation software with dynamic 3D features. With a sophisticated design, Rainbow 3D stands out for its speed, being able to provide a simulation in just a few seconds. It also provides algorithms for beam steering and optimizing the listening area.
· Designed from scratch by professionals
Rainbow 3D has been programmed from scratch by Lynx Pro Audio engineers, using new programming procedures that achieve an effective simulation with really low calculation time.
· Multiple listening zones The program can simulate all Lynx Pro Audio’s acoustic enclosures located in a 3D space, including the classic side, top and front views. It can also define multiple listening zones and allows offset positioning and symmetry. Blueprint images, textures and PNG format pictures can be imported. · Unlimited sound sources
Allows the acoustic simulation for an unlimited number of sound sources and audio systems. You can place as many systems (subwoofers, line arrays, columns and individual boxes) as you desire. Also, the line arrays can be placed in stack or flown configuration. · Beam steering
Rainbow 3D has the ability to add DSP processing to the simulation and uses algorithms to control the directivity (beam steering) in columns, without the need to tilt them physically, being able to divide the column into several beams that point to different zones. · Accurate optimization thanks to FIR filters Optimized algorithms are used in the listening area to improve the sound coverage and the frequency response. This feature can be executed in a matter of seconds. Additionally, the export of FIR coefficients can be performed with the optimization for later loading in the DSP via Ethernet or a USB device. In the near future direct communication with Lynx Pro Audio and OCS will be available. · Multiple measures and tools Likewise, the R&D department is developing multiple measurement and analysis tools for the calculated data. For example, the sound pressure curves (SPL) in the listening areas and the capture of virtual measurements that show the frequency response in the points of location indicated and added. Among other tools you will find autosplay and a wizard to set up different subwoofer arragements.
