Operation manual VERA S17i
Introduction
Thank you for choosing a high-quality product “MADEIN GERMANY” from TW AUDiO.
The VERA S17i is a compact, flyable install subwoofer in a symmetrically vented enclosure,
equipped with one 18” long excursion driver.
The specifically developed integrated rigging hardware allows a tightly screwed installation for
perfect integration into VERA20i arrays with nearly invisible rigging parts, without the use of
expensive locking pins and additional frames.
The fully symmetrical design of the rigging also allows to set up cardioid sub arrays with
mechanically reversed enclosures. There is also the possibility to mount an optional front grill
to the rear side of the enclosure giving a seamless look of the entire array.
The two recessed panels with screw terminals - one on the top and one on the bottom of the
enclosure - allows for the signal connection between cabinets to be hidden. There are also
installer options of plates with speakON™, cable gland and blanking plates available.

Operation manual VERA S17i
1. Safety | Intended use
Please adhere to the following safety instructions to avoid risks when operating loudspeakers.
The VERA S17i loudspeaker was developed for use in professional sound systems. The
loudspeaker may only be used by trained and qualified personnel.
Note the operating modes described in this operating manual. Other uses are not permis-
sible.
Damage caused by improper use is not covered by TW AUDiO.
Loudspeakers generate an electromagnetic field. Persons with pacemakers are not permit-
ted to remain in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers as the electromagnetic fields can
cause pacemakers to malfunction.
When working with heavy loads exceeding 20 kg (44,09 lbs.), use suitable aids (dollies, hois-
ting slings, etc.). Multiple persons may be required depending on the situation.
Ensure that the units are in a stable position and are firmly attached. A falling loudspeaker can
result in serious personal injury and property damage.
When using and assembling TWAUDiO loudspeakers, only use materials specified by
TW AUDiO. These tasks must be performed by qualified personnel. Adhere to the applicable
safety regulations.
WARNING
When setting up loudspeakers, ensure that they are not exposed to the following ambient
conditions:
• direct sunlight
• Humidity
• Jolting
• Dust
Keep away from the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers that are operated at high sound pres-
sure levels. These loudspeaker systems are capable of endangering your health. Sound levels
beginning as low as approximately 90dBSPL can lead to long-term hearing impairment.
WARNING
Avoid:
• Feedback
• Distorted signals (clipping) and
• Peaks resulting from switching on devices, plugging in devices or unplugging devices during
operation.
Such signals can lead to loudspeaker overload and ultimately to loudspeaker failure.
WARNING
NOTE
NOTE

Operation manual VERA S17i
Ensure that the loudspeaker is not exposed to permanent thermal overloads. Thermal over-
loads may cause a fire and result in serious personal injury and property damage.
WARNING
Note that TW AUDiO does not provide a warranty for damage that can be attributed to this
type of overload and therefore cannot be held liable for any secondary damage.
A permanent magnetic field is present in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers. Ensure that
objects which react sensitively to magnetic fields are not located in the immediate vicinity of
the loudspeaker. In particular, this applies to magnetic storage media, magnetic stripe cards
such as debit cards and CRT displays. A distance of approximately one meter is sufficient to
avoid damage.
Check loudspeakers and accessory parts regularly for visible wear. This is essential to ensure
continuing fault-free operation. Worn parts should be replaced immediately. Spare parts are
available from TWAUDiO.
