3.3 Waveguide Rotation

The 90° x 50° Progressive Transition™ waveguide can be rotated to optimize coverage depending on the loudspeaker's orientation (horizontal or vertical). To rotate the waveguide:

  1. Susa ngokucophelela i-grille yangaphambili.
  2. Unscrew the mounting screws securing the waveguide.
  3. Gently rotate the waveguide to the desired orientation.
  4. Securely fasten the waveguide with the mounting screws.
  5. Namathisela kabusha i-grille yangaphambili.

3.4 Uxhumano lomsindo

The AM5212/95 offers both Bi-Amp and Passive operation modes. Select the appropriate mode based on your amplifier and system configuration.

  • Imodi yokwenziwa: In passive mode, a single amplifier channel powers both the low-frequency and high-frequency drivers through the loudspeaker's internal crossover. Connect your amplifier output to the input connectors on the loudspeaker.
  • Bi-Amp Imodi: Ku-bi-amp mode, separate amplifier channels are used for the low-frequency and high-frequency drivers, requiring an external electronic crossover. Ensure the internal Bi-Amp/Passive switch is set to Bi-Amp. Connect the low-frequency amplifier output to the LF input and the high-frequency amplifier output to the HF input.

Always use high-quality speaker cables with appropriate gauge for the cable length and power requirements.

4. Iziqondiso Zokusebenza

4.1 Ukuvula kanye nokusetha kokuqala

  1. Ensure all audio connections are secure and correctly configured for either Passive or Bi-Amp imodi.
  2. Qinisekisa ukuthi eyakho amplifier(s) are powered off and their volume controls are set to minimum.
  3. Power on your audio source (mixer, processor, etc.).
  4. Amandla ku- ampi-lifier(s).
  5. Khulisa kancane kancane amplifier volume to the desired listening level.

4.2 Bi-Amp/Passive Mode Selection

I-Bi-Amp/Passive switch is located on the input panel of the loudspeaker. This switch determines how the internal crossover functions.

  • I-Passive: For single-amplifier channel operation with the internal crossover.
  • Bi-Amp: Okwesibili-amplifier channel operation with an external electronic crossover.

Qinisekisa njalo amplifier is powered off before changing this switch setting to prevent damage to the loudspeaker or ampokokuphila.

5. Isondlo

The JBL Professional AM5212/95 loudspeaker system requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-term performance.
