3. INTRODUCTION

The VERSO 8P, 10P and 12P powered loudspeaker cabinet have been designed to cover

a wide range of applications. From conference rooms, where considerable intelligibility is required, to

outdoor applications such as marquees, mobile discos, meetings, presentations, etc. These are

situations in which good sound projection is necessary, together with a high sound pressure level,

reliability of operation and easy placement on stage. The VERSO P series is adapted to a wide

range of applications in which simplicity of installation and use is an important requirement.

All the models are made of high density plastic and protected by an acoustically

transparent perforated grille at the front. All the models have an efficient Larsen high-frequency

protection system (acoustic regeneration or coupling) and signal clipping. The connection plates are

fitted with XLR3 connectors for the audio signal inputs and outputs.

4. MODELS AND CHARACTERISTICS

The VERSO P series is formed by thee models, all two-way and self-powered separately:

VERSO 8P (200W RMS):

•Low-medium frequency: 8” bass speaker (woofer).

•High frequency: 34mm motor.

VERSO 10P (300W RMS):

•Low-medium frequency: 10” bass speaker (woofer).

•High frequency: 34 mm motor.

VERSO 12P (450W RMS):

•Low-medium frequency: 12” bass speaker (woofer).

•High frequency: 44 mm motor.

Characteristics common to all three models:

•Two MICRO/LINE inputs with selectable sensitivity level.

•Two way mixer.

•3-band tone control at mixer output.

•Balanced "STACK OUT" output that enables the VERSO P to be connected to other

self-amplifying units or conventional amplifiers.

•Active selectivity filter and slope of 24dB/oct for separating the two ways.

•Efficient protection system for reducing signal clipping, thereby protecting the speakers

against occasional saturation. A red LED indicator marked “CLIP” warns the user when

this is happening.

5. QUICK START

1. Location:

Choose a site from where the audience area can be covered in which there are very few

obstacles between audience and speaker. The higher the speaker is placed, the greater and better

the audience coverage will be.

Since this is a self-amplifying box, it requires direct connection to a power socket. This

must be taken into consideration.

2. Connecting to the mains:

Read the WARNINGS paragraph in section 2.

Check that the red switch is at “0”.

Insert the network cable connector into the MAINS input and connect the pin to the other

end of a network connection with an earth clamp.

3. Audio connections:

The VERSO 8P, 10P and 12P enable direct connection of two simultaneous sound

sources through the respective balanced XLR3-type plugs. Each plug can be configured to receive

LINE level signals (high level: MP3, CD, DVD players, keyboard, etc.) or dynamic microphones (low

level). A MICRO/LINE button next to each input connector allows you to select the type of signal it

will operate with: button pushed for LINE signals and not pushed for MICRO signals. Check that the

selected position is the correct one.

If connecting a self-amplifying box to a stereo mixing, select the LINE position and connect

each mixer output channel at each side of the unit inputs. In this case, reproduction will be mono, the

result of mixing the left and right channels delivered by the mixer.

If you want to connect the unit to other self-amplifying boxes or amplifiers, first check that

the levels of the initial box are correct and also check that it functions correctly when separated.

4. Start-up:

Check that both volume controls are at "MIN" and that the tone controls are in the central

position. First of all turn on the signal generating source (MP3, CD, keyboard, DVD, etc.)

Then put the on switch at “I”. This should light up immediately, in addition to the blue "ON"

light, indicating that the amplifiers are correctly supplied with power.

As soon as the inputs receive the signal, even with the volume adjusted to minimum in the

unit, the green “SP” indicates should light up. Slowly turn the respective volume control until it

reaches the required volume, NOT the maximum.

If necessary, adjust the equalizer until you obtain the desired result. Then check the

available reserve power by increasing the volume slowly, in all cases trying to prevent the red “CLIP”

indicator from lighting up. If this should occur, reduce the level, as the internal amplifiers will

continuously be saturated and the sound reproduced will be distorted.

6. USE

1. Location and installation:

The following general rules should be observed:

•Stand or hang the cabinets on or from solid, firm surfaces.

•There must be no obstacles between the acoustic box and the audience. High

frequencies, unlike low ones, are extremely directive and any obstacle will cause an

attenuation in its response.

•For large audience areas, the higher the boxes are placed, the better the propagation of

the sound over the distance. To achieve this, use standardised tripods (with a stem 35 mm

in diameter, such as the ECLER TRIPO1 model), which should be inserted into the casing

specially provided for that purpose which is located on the inner side of the box.

•The VERSO 8P, 10P and 12P are also prepared for operation on the ground when laid flat

(e.g., for use as a stage monitor), without the need to use any optional accessories.

•For wall mounting, an optional accessory is required: reference SR12 for the VERSO 12P

model / reference SR8 for the VERSO 10P and 8P models. In this case, an additional

safety cable should also be used (see details in section 9).

•If the boxes are hung, 6 anchoring points will be required: 3 nuts embedded on the top

side and 3 more on the lower side, located under the rubber feet (see diagram in section

9).

•Do not hang the equipment by its carry handles.

2. Connecting to the mains:

The VERSO 8P, 10P and 12P models operate at a voltage of 115/230 V AC (selector

switch on rear panel) and at 50-60Hz. Always ensure the mains selector switch is correctly

positioned before starting up the unit: otherwise serious damage might be caused.

Ensure that the mains cable is not mixed with the audio signal cables, thereby preventing

interferences and buzzing.

To protect the system from potential electrical overloads there is a T5A 250V 5x20 type

mains fuse for model 12P, T3.5A 250V 5x20 for model 10P and T2.5A 250V 5x20 for model 8P. In

the event of fusing, disconnect the appliance and replace it by another with identical characteristics.

If the new fuse blows immediately, consult our Technical Service.

ATTENTION: DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT THE PROTECTION CIRCUIT OR INSTALL A

FUSE WITH A VALUE HIGHER THAN THE ORIGINAL ONE.

WARNING: The fuse must be replaced by a qualified technician.

3. Audio input connections:

These are of the balanced type and XLR3-type connectors, as indicated:

Phase or direct signal (+) > Pin 2

Non-Phase or inverted signal (-) > Pin 3

Ground > Pin 1

Depending on the position in which the LINE /MICRO switch is set, the input will admit

signals from one level or the other:

4. Line Inputs:

Their sensitivity is –10dBV (316mV). CD, DAT, MP3, DVD Audio players, keyboards, tape

recorders, synthesisers, etc. and the signal from audio mixers can be connected to this type of input.

If the signal source is not the balanced type, care must be taken to ensure that terminals 1 and 3 are

short-circuited, terminal 2 being the active signal.

To adapt the output of this type of source, normally stereo, to the unit input (mono), the

Ecler professional cable range can be used, which is designed specially for this purpose:

CNX2RCAXLR2 (2xRCA to XLR), CNXRCAXLR2 (1xRCA to XLR) or CNXMJXLR2 (jack 3.5 mm to

XLR). These connections contain a device for adding the L+R signals of a stereo source and

converting them to mono.

5. Microphone Inputs:

The MICRO input is prepared for a nominal input level of -40dBV (10mV).

The microphones must be dynamic, with low impedance (from 200 to 600 Ω) and mono.

This type of microphone is usually balanced but in the rare case of having a NON-balanced

microphone, terminals 1 and 3 must be short-circuited.

To connect the microphones to these inputs, the ECLER professional cable range can be

used, in the XLR/XLR format, with three optional lengths: 5, 10 and 20 metres:

CNXXLRXLR5 / 10 / 20.

6. Audio output connection (STACK OUT):

This is balanced, and has a male XLR3 connector. Its nominal level is -10dBV (316 mV).

This output can be used to connect the unit to another self-amplifying box or conventional external

amplifier, mixer or even a recording device. It should be considered that this output is affected by the

volume controls, so that in the event of having to connect various self-amplifying boxes, the last units

may become saturated. Be very careful with the levels when using this output.

Next to the connector there is a button to select the output signal between mix or from

input 2

7. Indicators:

The blue “ON” light indicates that the power amplifiers are correctly supplied with power.

Each of the inputs has an “SP” signal presence indicator. These indicators will light up

when there is a signal in the inputs that is higher than -35 dBV, and are very useful for checking the

level with which the external signal sources enter the unit.

Lastly, the "CLIP" indicator warns you that the power amplifiers are saturated due to

excess signal. To prevent distortion and prevent the speakers from becoming damaged, it is very

important that this indicate is off while the unit remains in normal operation.

8. Tone control:

The VERSO 8P, 10P and 12P have an efficient 3-band tone control system, with a margin

of action of –20 at +10dB in each one. The cut-off frequencies are 250Hz and 5.5kHz. For the best

result, do not make drastic equalisations, and it is recommended not to exceed a level of ¾ in each

band.

7. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Ground loops: Ensure at all times that the signal sources reaching the unit and all the

devices connected to its output do not have interconnected grounds, i.e., they should not be

connected to ground through two or more different routes, since this could cause buzzing that would

affect the sound reproduction quality. If cable shielding are connected to the chassis, they should be

never interconnected, in order to avoid ground loops.

Audio connections: As a general rule, try to ensure that the signal connections are as

short as possible and use the best quality connectors and cables. Poor quality of the connections

and/or cable used could lead to an important deterioration of the sound reproduction quality. The

Ecler catalogue contains the necessary cabling references.

Background noise: The use of active short-circuitry will product a more or less high level

of background noise, depending on the configuration. The VERSO P series has been designed to

reduce background noise level to a minimum. In all cases, it should be mentioned that the noise level

obtained is directly dependent on the quality of all the elements connected in the installation, and the

correct installation and use thereof.

Cleaning: The front panel should not be cleaned with dissolvent or abrasive substances

because silk-printing could be damaged. To clean it, use a soft cloth slightly wet with water and

neutral liquid soap; dry it with a clean cloth. Be careful that water never gets into the unit through the

holes of the front panel.
