The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. For EC Declaration of Conformity please go to: www.voidacoustics.com/eu-declaration-loudspeakers 1.4 UKCA marking For details of the UKCA marking go to: www.voidacoustics.com/uk-declaration-loudspeakers 1.5 Warranty statement Safety instructions - read this first 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.

Refer servicing to Void-approved service agents. 4.2 Cable considerations for fixed installations 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.

No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to your dealer. 6.1 Return authorisation Before returning your faulty product for repair, please remember to get an R.A.N. (Return Authorisation Number) from the Void dealer who supplied the system to you. Your dealer will handle the necessary paperwork and repair. Failure to go through this return authorisation procedure could delay the repair of your product. Note that your dealer will need to see a copy of your sales receipt as proof of purchase so please have this to hand when applying for return authorisation. 6.2 Shipping and packing considerations · When sending a Cyclone Series loudspeaker to an authorised service centre, please write a detailed description of the fault and list any other equipment used in conjunction with the faulty product. · Accessories will not be required. Do not send the instruction manual, cables or any other hardware unless your dealer asks you to. · Pack your unit in the original factory packaging if possible. Include a note of the fault description with the product. Do not send it separately. · Ensure safe transportation of your unit to the authorised service centre. UG10588-2.2 - Cyclone 10 User Guide V2.2 Page 22 7 Appendix Application Note: Loudspeakers in Corrosive Environments Void Acoustics' weather protected and IP rated products are suitable for outdoor use, however installations in highly corrosive environments, such as high salinity or in the presence of corrosive chemicals such as chlorine, require additional care and maintenance. The following guide will help to prevent corrosion and prolong both the product aesthetics and sonic performance. It is recommended that this process is implemented weekly. Step 1: Remove the grill as applicable and wash with deionised water, ensuring all build-up of contamination is removed completely from the grille and the foam (where fitted). Allow the foam to dry completely before reinstalling, protecting the loudspeaker accordingly in the interim. Step 2: Using a clean microfibre cloth and deionised water, use circular motions working from the top of the product down to remove contamination. Dry the product with a clean, dry microfibre cloth. Step 3: Use a soft bristled brush and deionised water to clean the bracketry, ensuring all contamination is removed completely. UG10588-2.2 - Cyclone 10 User Guide V2.2 Page 23 7 Appendix Cyclone 10 architectural specification The loudspeaker shall be a passive two-way system consisting of one high power 10" (250 mm), direct radiating, reflex loaded low frequency (LF) transducer and one 1" (25 mm) diameter composite plastic exit high frequency (HF) compression driver mounted on a user rotatable constant directivity horn in a moulded fibreglass trapezoidal enclosure. The low frequency transducer shall be constructed on a cast aluminium frame, with a treated paper cone, 50.8 mm (2") voice coil, wound with copper wire on a high quality voice coil former, for high power handling and long-term reliability. The high frequency transducer shall project its sound through a high precision constant directivity waveguide with a 152.4 mm (6") baffle diameter to achieve pattern control and low distortion. Performance specifications for a typical production unit shall be as follows: the usable on-axis bandwidth shall be 52 Hz to 22 kHz (±3 dB), with an average 90° directivity pattern in the horizontal axis and 60° in the vertical one (-6 dB down from on-axis level) from 1 kHz to 15 kHz; and maximum SPL shall be 128 dB peak measured at 1 m using IEC268-5 pink noise. Power handling shall be 350 W AES at a rated impedance of 8 . The wiring connection shall be via a single removable lockable wiring connector with four screwdown terminals (one pair for input and one pair for loop-out to another loudspeaker) to provide secure wiring and allow for pre-wiring of the connector before the installation. This connector should then screw lock to the enclosure to ensure secure attachment. The enclosure, of any RAL colour, shall be of a moulded fibreglass reinforced plastic construction with a smooth cellulose finish and shall include integral threaded inserts for the fitment of wall and ceiling mounting hardware. The external dimensions of the cabinet are (H) 493 mm x (W) 320 mm x (D) 230 mm (19.4" x 12.6" x 9.1"). Weight shall be 14.5 kg (32 lbs). The loudspeaker system shall be a Void Acoustics Cyclone 10.
