1 Safety and Regulations

1.1 Important safety instructions

1.3 EC declaration of conformity

The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
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.

1.6 WEEE directive
If the time arises to throw away your product, please recycle all the components possible.
This symbol indicates that when the end-user wishes to discard this product, it must be sent to separate collection facilities for recovery and recycling. By separating this product from other household-type waste, the volume of waste sent to incinerators or land-fills will be reduced and natural resources will thus be conserved.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) aims to minimise the impact of electrical and electronic goods on the environment. Void Acoustics Research Ltd complies with the Directive 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC of the European Parliament on waste electrical finance the cost of treatment and recovery of electronic equipment (WEEE) in order to reduce the amount of WEEE that is being disposed of in land-fill sites. All of our products are marked with the WEEE symbol; this indicates that this product must NOT be disposed of with other waste. Instead it is the user's responsibility to dispose of their waste electrical and electronic equipment by handing it over to an approved reprocessor, or by returning it to Void Acoustics Research Ltd for reprocessing. For more information about where you can send your waste equipment for recycling, please contact Void Acoustics Research Ltd or one of your local distributors.

1.2 Limitations

This guide is provided to help familiarise the user with the loudspeaker system and its accessories. It is not intended to provide comprehensive electrical, fire, mechanical and noise training and is not a substitute for industry-approved training. Nor does this guide absolve the user of their obligation to comply with all relevant safety legislation and codes of practice. While every care has been taken in creating this guide, safety is userdependent and Void Acoustics Research Ltd cannot guarantee complete safety whenever the system is rigged and operated.

2 Unpacking and Checking
All Void Acoustics products are carefully manufactured and thoroughly tested before being despatched. Your dealer will ensure that your Void products are in pristine condition before being forwarded to you but mistakes and accidents can happen.
Before signing for your delivery:
· Inspect your shipment for any signs of contamination, abuse or transit damage as soon as you receive it
· Check your Void Acoustics 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.
When you are removing your Stasys Xair loudspeaker from its original packaging:
· Stasys Xair loudspeakers come packaged in a lid and base carton that has a protective sleeve around it; avoid using sharp implements to remove the cardboard to protect the finish
· If you need to place the loudspeaker on a flat surface make sure it is free from debris · When you have removed the Stasys Xair 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.
See section 1 for warranty conditions and see section 7 if your product needs servicing.

4 Cable and Wiring

4.1 Electrical safety
To avoid electrical hazards please note the following:
· Do not access the inside of any electrical equipment. 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.

5 Operating Modes
5.1 Manual handling guidelines
To avoid manual handling hazards please note the following:
· Be sure to secure any loudspeaker systems following correct local procedures/guideline
· Low frequency enclosures are heavy and require a minimum of two people to move; for more information on safe handling consult INDG143.
5.2 Typical modes
Although the modes of arrangement shown here are typical operating modes for low frequency enclosures, the Stasys Xair system's symmetrical design lends itself to wide range of configurations. Simple planer arrays and stacks to directional and steerable arrays are possible given suitable electronics and presets. Contact your local Void distributor/dealer for more information.

6 Adjustments
To avoid damage when making adjustments please note the following: · Removing the grille can cause debris to collect within the enclosure, take
care to remove anything that may have collected internally · Do not use impact tools.
6.1 Wheel removal
Step 1: Remove all four M8 bolts with a 13 mm spanner/wrench.

Step 2: Remove/add the wheels and keep in a safe place. Repeat the process for the other three wheels.

Figure 6.1: Bolt removal

Step 3: Replace the M8 bolts by hand until finger tight before using hand tools.
Note: Replacing bolts is of particular importance as without them there can be air leakage and detuning.
