BASIC PRECAUTIONS

Do not open the speaker system or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any

way. The speaker system contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning

or damaged, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified NEXO service personnel.

Water exposure: Do not expose the speaker system to direct rain, do not use it near water or in wet

conditions. Do not place containers with liquid on speaker system as they might spill into openings. If

any liquid such as water seeps into the speaker system, have it inspected by qualified NEXO

personnel.

Sun exposure: Do not expose the speaker system to direct sun.

Operating temperature with temperate climate: 0°C to +40°C (-20°C to +60°C for storage).

SYSTEM DEPLOYMENT SAFETY RULES

Read User Manual before deployment. Before use of enclosed speaker system,

please ensure that anyone involved in system deployment understands the rigging –

stacking –pole mounting safety rules as described in the speaker system User Manual.

Failure to do this exposes people to potential injury or death.

Please check the web site www.nexo-sa.com for the latest update.

Always consult qualified NEXO personnel if the device installation requires construction work and make

sure to observe the following precautions:

Mounting precautions

- choose mounting hardware and an installation location that can support 4 times the weight of the

speaker system;

- do not use speaker system handles for suspended installation;

- do not expose speaker system to excessive dust or vibration, or extreme cold or heat to prevent

possibility of component damage;

- do not place the speaker system in an unstable position from which it might fall accidentally;

- if speaker systems uses a stand, ensure that stand specifications are adapted, and that stand

height does not exceed 1.40m/55”; never move the stand while the speaker is in position.

Connection and powering precautions

- remove all connected cables before moving the speaker system;

- turn off AC power of all power amplifier units before connecting the speaker system;

- when turning on the AC power to the audio system, always turn on the power amplifier last; when

turning the AC power off, always turn off the power amplifier first;

- when used in cold conditions, a gradual power ramp up should applied to the system on an 5 mn

period to allow the loudspeaker components to stabilize during the very first minutes of usage.

Inspect the speaker system periodically.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR NEXO TD CONTROLLERS

NEXO ANALOGUE PSTDCONTROLLERS, NX242 DIGITAL CONTROLLER,

NXAMP4x1 AND NXAMP4x4 POWERED CONTROLLERS ARE CLASS 1

APPARATUS AND MUST BE EARTHED.

THE GREEN AND YELLOW WIRE OF THE MAINS CORD MUST ALWAYS BE CONNECTED TO AN

INSTALLATION SAFETY EARTH OR GROUND. THE EARTH IS ESSENTIAL FOR PERSONAL

SAFETY AS WELL AS THE CORRECT OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM, AND IS INTERNALLY

CONNECTED TO ALL EXPOSED METAL SURFACES.

- Read these instructions.

- Keep these instructions.

- Heed all warnings.

- Follow all instructions.

- Do not use this apparatus near water.

- Clean only with dry cloth.

- Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

- Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

- Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two

blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding

prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not

fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. (US market)

- Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

- Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

- Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

- Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has

been damaged in any way, such as 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.

HIGH SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS

Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss.

Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss but nearly

everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient

period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational and Health Administration (OSHA)

has specified the following permissible noise level exposures: Sound Duration Per

Day In Hours

Sound Level dBA, Slow Response

100

1 ½

102

105

110

¼ or less

115

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some

hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors to the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating

this amplification system in order to prevent permanent hearing loss, if exposure is in excess of the

limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure

levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound

pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in

operation.

INTRODUCTION Page 9/82

As for all NEXO systems, PS Series are controlled, powered and monitored by dedicated NEXO

TDControllers:

PS analogue TDController provides full control for PS Series and dedicated subwoofers. It has 2

analogue inputs (Left and Right) and 3 analogue outputs (Sub-Bass, PS Left and PS Right);

NX242-ES4 Digital TDController provides comprehensive control of PS loudspeakers in multiple

configurations. It allows EthersoundTM digital audio networking, as well as remote control for all

units in the network. It has 2 analogue / 4 digital inputs and 4 analogue / 4 digital outputs;

IMPORTANT

NX242 must be equipped with NX-Tension Card (NX-ES4) to access PS setups

NXAMP4x1 and NXAMP 4x4 are Powered Digital Controllers, providing full control and

amplification for PS Series in multiple configurations. Both devices feature 4 analogue inputs and

4 speaker outputs. When equipped with optional card, 4 digital inputs in EthersoundTM digital

audio network format as well as remote controlfor all units in the network become available.

For a complete description of these controllers, please refer to User Manuals. The NX242 and NXAMP

DSP algorithms and parameters are fixed in software and updated regularly: Please consult the NEXO

web site (www.nexo.fr) for the latest software releases.

2PS GENERAL SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Speaker connection

PS Series connected with Speakon NL4FC plugs (not supplied). A wiring diagram is printed on the

connection panel located on the back of each cabinet.The 4 pins of the 2 Speakon sockets identified in /

out are connected in parallel within the enclosure.

Either connector can be used to connect amplifier or to link to an additional PS range cabinet or to link

to an optional Sub (if present). Therefore, a single 4-conductor cable can connect two amplifier

channels to various PS and/or dedicated Sub Bass.

2.1.1 PS8 –PS10R2
