Fig. 2.1: Connecting an amplifier + Always mute your amp before connecting the speakers. Please follow these steps to connect your CE1000P to a power amp: s Mute your amp before connecting the speakers. s Loosen the plus screw (red ring with a +) and the minus screw (black ring with a ). s Insert the plus cord of the speaker cable connecting the amp to your CE1000P into the plus opening. s Connect the minus cable into the minus opening. s Tighten the screws. Connect the second loudspeaker the same way. + + Make sure that all connections are done properly. Speaker cables are color-coded to help avoid confusion. Always make sure that bare wire ends never touch the open end of another speaker cable, speaker connectors or metal parts of your amp. 2.2 Length and diameter of loudspeaker cables Loudspeaker cables whose diameter is too small can limit the power amp performance considerably. The longer the cable, the greater the problem. As a result, users often simply turn up the amp, which can lead to loudspeaker damage. For most applications, this will not be necessary. Cable diameter should be at least 2.5 - 4.0 mm (AWG 6). 2.3 Power amp rating and impedance Selecting the right amp can turn out to be rather difficult. Therefore, stick to the following rule of thumb: the power rating of your amp should be roughly twice the speaker load capacity. A speaker rated at 300 Watts continuous performance can easily be powered by an amp rated at 600 Watts output power. An optimal addition to your speaker system would be the BEHRINGER EUROPOWER EP1500 power amp, for example. 6 2. INSTALLATION BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT SPEAKERS CE1000P Also, you should keep in mind the impedance of your amplifier in order to guarantee optimal power delivery. The CE1000Ps impedance is 8 Ω. Use an amp whose power rating corresponds to an impedance of 8 Ω. 2.4 Protecting your speakers s Always turn down the volume on your amp before switching it on or off. s When powering your equipment up/down, the amp should always be the last one to be powered up and the first one to be powered down. This way, you avoid switch-on thumps that occur when you turn connected equipment on or off. s Always make sure your audio signal level is optimally set. Avoid overdriving your amp. s Do not push your loudspeakers beyond their physical limitations. Even though your CE1000P has sufficient power overhead, you can still damage it if you drive it too much or crank the volume all the way up for longer periods of time. s Use a limiter to restrict the output signal level. Place the limiter between the mixing console and the power amp. For this purpose, our proven AUTOCOM PRO-XL MDX1600, COMPOSER PRO-XL MDX2600 and MULTICOM PRO-XL MDX4600 compressors offer an outstanding solution. All models can be used as a limiter: the audio signal doesnt overdrive any more, and unpleasant peaks are effectively avoided. 3. TROUBLESHOOTING 3.1 No signal when loudspeaker is connected s Make sure that your mixing console is indeed carrying a signal (is the master fader raised? Are channels active?) and that the gain control on your amp is turned up. s When using a crossover, make sure that the relevant channels are active. s Check if the cable connection is interrupted/damaged somewhere in your setup. s To test your configuration, connect another amp. If you now get a signal, the power amp is the culprit. s To test your configuration, connect another speaker. If you now get a signal, the fault lies within the speaker. s Check if the cable connection is interrupted/defective somewhere along the path. 3.3 Poor sound characteristics (treble signal too low/bass signal too low) s Check the EQ settings on your mixing console or on an external EQ, if applicable. s Make sure that the tweeters on your loudspeakers are positioned at the same height as the ears of the people in the audience. If not, please modify the speaker position. s Make sure your loudspeaker cables are properly wired. Incorrect wiring may result in phase cancellations, which in turn may create frequency incursions. s Check if large objects are placed in front of the loudspeakers. They too can negatively influence sound dispersion. s Check the sound quality of the input signal by listening to it on a set of headphones. s Also see the instructions in the chapters 3.1 and 3.2. 4.

(10.1kg) 3.2 Signal distorted s Make sure that all signals on the mixing console have been set to optimal levels in order to avoid distortion. s Make sure that the power amp channels are not overdriving. If so, turn the gain control down a little. However, it could also be the case that your power amp doesnt have enough power headroom, so that the required volume can not be generated without starting to distort. s Make sure that the level of the signal getting into the speakers is not too high, causing distortion. s Check your EQ settings. Excessively increasing the frequencies can result in distortion. s If distortion is still occurring despite everything you have tried to eliminate it, try connecting a different power amp. If you no longer hear distortion, its cause was with the power amp. s As a test, connect another speaker. If you no longer hear distortion, its cause was with the loudspeaker (perhaps a defective loudspeaker). BEHRINGER is constantly striving to maintain the highest professional standards.
