4. Description
4.1. General
Plug & Play - EasySat Systeme
EasySat systems are passive systems. Only a standard power
mixer or a stereo amplifier is required to operate the bass and
satellite speakers (mid-high speakers). The power mixer and the
stereo amplifier are both connected to the subwoofers via two
Speakon cables (configuration 1+/1-). Each satellite speaker is
also connected to the subwoofer via a Speakon cable
(configuration 1+/1-). The integral crossover electronics do the
rest for you. Subwoofers and satellite speakers are therefore
perfectly balanced. You require 2-wire Speakon cables.
The satellite speakers can also be connected to a power mixer
without a subwoofer.
The optional FCï3PRO controller, 19“ 1 HE, protects the entire
system. (See brief description on page 4)
4.2. Recommended accessories
this may effect safety. Decommission the unit and label it as
being unsafe for use.
Secure the unit in such a way that it cannot be operated
unintentionally by third parties.

4.3. Controls (see page 6)
All connections and controls are located on the rear of the
speaker. All speakers are fitted with practical carrying handles.
Speaker transport wheels enable easy transport.
(7) Switch (mode - subwoofer settings)
Recessed mode switch to protect from incorrect use. This
switch is for switching the integral crossover from stereo
mode with one subwoofer to a mode using two subwoofers.
Please always make sure that this switch is in the correct
position.
(1) Speakon jacks on the satellite speakers (configuration 1+/1-) 1 x bassbox (1x subwoofer)
(2) Connector jacks for satellite speakers. Please use standard
Press recessed switch (7) with a pointed object e.g.
Speakon cables to connect up with the first system. Both
jacks are connected internally in parallel. One of the two
jacks can be used to connect (loop through) another
satellite speaker. The minimum impedance for the system is
4 ohms per side (left + right channels). That means that you
can connect two satellite speakers at any time, each with 8
ohms per side.
(3) Speakon jacks on ch1 subwoofer
This Speakon jack is connected to the amplifier output via a
standard Speakon cable.
If you are working with two subwoofers, this jack is not
used. (Configuration 1+/1-)
pencil:
>Status display turns black.
2 x bassbox (2x subwoofer)
Press recessed switch (7) with a pointed object e.g.
pencil::
>Status display turns orange.
!
Moving the switch to the incorrect position (7)
may switch off the amplifiers connected!
(4) Speakon jacks on ch2 subwoofer
This Speakon jack is connected to the amplifier output via a
standard Speakon cable.
If you are working with two subwoofers, only this jack is
used. Jack (3) is not used. (Configuration 1+/1-)
(5) Speakon jacks on the subwoofer for satellite speakers
Connector jack for satellite speaker. Please use standard
Speakon cables to connect up with the first system. The
minimum impedance for the system is 4 ohms per side (left
+ right channels). That means that you can connect two
satellite speakers at any time, each with 8 ohms per side. If
you are working with two subwoofers, only jack (5) is used.
Jack (6) is not used. (Configuration 1+/1-)
(6) Speakon jacks on the subwoofer for satellite speakers
Connector jacks for satellite speaker. Please use standard
Speakon cables to connect up with the first system. The
minimum impedance for the system is 4 ohms per side (left
+ right channels). That means that you can connect two
satellite speakers at any time, each with 8 ohms per side. If
you are working with two subwoofers, jack (6) is not used.
(Configuration 1+/1-)
!
Using jacks (3)+(4) by mistake instead of (5)+(6)
switches off the amplifiers connected!

4.2. Option: Controller FC•3PRO
Brief description:
The FC•3PRO is a 2-way stereo crossover with integral 3band limiter for bass, mid and high frequencies. The
fullrange stereo, 2-way stereo and mono-bass modes can be
selected from the back of the unit. There are two
potentiometers located on the front of the unit that are for
adjusting the bass level to that of the mid-high loudspeaker
and for horn correction. The bass controller enables you to
adjust the volume of the bass at any time to suit the room
size or the music.
Internal signal processing is analogue.
There are 16 digital stored subwoofer and mid-high speaker
presets available for configuring the unit to incorporate the
speakers being used. These presets were programmed during
manufacture.
The CAS procedure is used when configuring the controller
to incorporate the amplifiers. The volume and the maximum
output power of the amplifiers are measured by an integral
computer via a standard speaker cable with 4-pin Speakon
connector.
Measuring is carried out simply by pressing a button before
the speakers are connected to the amplifiers; no previous
technical knowledge is required, no sound is generated and
the process takes no longer than 60 seconds. The measured
amplifier data are calculated in combination with the 32
presets and are stored in an EEPROM. The data is also stored
after the power is switched off and can remain stored for a
minimum of 40 years. The unit does not require a battery to
store this data.
Once the measuring process is completed, a sensing line is
no longer required.
LEDs indicate which channels were measured successfully.

6. Operating instructions
5.1. Operating conditions
6.1. Installing the EasySat systems
1.
In order to attain the most balanced sound possible and ensure
that speech can be understood in the back row at the venue, the
satellite speakers must be mounted as high up as possible. You
will require speaker stands for this.The satellite speakers should
be easily visible from every seat and standing space. People or
objects should not absorb the sound from the satellite speakers.

5.2. Audio connections
1.
2.
3.
4.
The SHM1 and VT-3 swivel stand are also available to face the
speakers in an optimized direction. The speaker stand and the
stand fork mean that the speaker can be raised and directed
downwards towards the audience.
It may help to think of the satellite speakers as headlights that
shine on every member of the audience.
When using the speaker as a ground monitor, lay it on the
chamfered side panel in order to face the FH08-Mini, FH1Entertainer or the FH3 ND-Top40 in an optimized direction.
Connect the speaker outputs from the amplifier or the
power mixer to Speakon jacks (3)+(4) on the rear of the
subwoofer.
Connect the satellite speakers to speaker outputs (5)+(6) on
the subwoofer.
Check switch position (7) before switching on the
amplifier.
Switch the amplifier or the power mixer on.

The permitted ambient temperature during operation is
between -5°C and +4°C.
The unit may be stored or transported at a temperature of
between -15°C and +40°C.
If during transport or storage, dew forms on the unit, in
particular on the back panel, leave it to acclimatize for
approx. 2 hours before using it.
The speaker should be operated in a dry environment with
normal dust and moisture levels in the air. Do not expose
the unit to aggressive chemical liquids or vapors.
The unit can be set up in any position. Please make sure
that the point of sound output on the subwoofers is kept
free.
Wrongly connected audio cables cause the
connected amplifiers switch off!
6.2. Avoiding acoustic feedback
!
Bridge-connected amplifiers should not be
connected up.
Operating with a microphone can cause acoustic feedback,
where the speaker produces shrill whistles.To avoid feedback:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Make sure that the microphone is as far behind or away
from the speakers as possible in order to avoid feedback.
Avoid directing the head of the microphone towards the
speakers.
Avoid covering the head of the microphone with your
hand.
If the speaker still whistles, turn down the microphone
volume at the mixing desk until the whistling stops.
7. Cleaning
Use a damp cloth to remove dust from the speaker housing.
