3 Before starting to use this device, please read this instruction manual carefully. Keep these instructions in the place where the equipment will be used and with easy access to them. - Electrical appliance. The exclamation mark within a triangle identifies the presence of electricity. Use the system carefully without wet hands or feet. Avoid installing the speaker in wet or excesivelly humid places. Regularly check the condition of the cables and make sure these are not being walked on or pinched. Connect the speaker to bipolar, earthed mains. The mains plug must be connected to the appropriate protection (fuse or breaker). Connection to any other type of mains could result in an electrical shock and violate local electrical codes. DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT THE AC POWER CONNECTORS UNDER LOAD. - Hearing damage risk. These systems can reproduce large quantities of sound pressure which can damage hearing. Take precautions if you are going to be near them for extended amounts of time and do not get too close. - Hanging Flying. Do not hang the cabinets from the handles or from any other part other than the designated hanging point. When flying this system please observe the technical data carefully. Never exceed the maximum safe working loads or ignore the instructions included within this manual. Use Only flying accessories provided by LYNX. Rigging must be always carried out by professionals. - Delicate Material. Please ensure no foreign object or water enters the speaker. Do not place material that contains liquid on or near the unit. Only clean the unit with dry cloths. Do not use solvents. -Overheating Fire risk. To reduce the risk of the speaker over heating, avoid direct contact with sunlight. Avoid placing the unit close to heat inducing objects such as radiators. Do not cover the equipment in use and do not block any ventilation openings. Do not put naked flame, such as lighted candles, close or on top of the unit. - Electromagnetic and interferente emissions. Avoid placing objects which through electromagnetic waves can damage the unit, such as mobile phones, lap tops, magnetic strip cards etc. This system complies with normatives EN (1) EN (2) (1) This device may not cause harmful interferences. (2) This device may receive interference including interferences that may cause undesired working. -IMPORTANT NOTE. This Equipment must be used in accordance with these instructions and by trained professional personnel only. This equipment should not be used in places with extreme tropical climates. Don t expose this apparatus to extreme humidity and or temperature values. - Heavy equipment. Apply back protection when using the system. Avoid loading and unloading at heights. 3

4 INTRODUCTION To facilitate, correct and reliable use of the QB series we have designed this instruction manual. Please read the manual carefully before proceeding to install the cabinets. All QB Series components have been carefully selected to offer a lightweight, versatile series delivering dynamic sound whilst remaining as competitively priced as possible and guaranteeing utmost reliability. All cabinets deliver a linear phase response and have been engineered to reduce distortion. The series can boast exceptional coverage with wide horn-drivers fitted to all the cabinets. Cluster configurations are possible to increase both pressure and dispersion whilst maintaining excellent sound distribution and fidelity. QB Series Full Range cabinets are supplied with high frequency OCPP protection (Over Current Passive protection) whilst all Sub-bass models come with SWR (Stationary Wave Reduction) to reduce internal stationary waves. QB Series cabinets are finished in premium birch plywood, only the small QB-5 is constructed with MDF. All the cabinets are coated with high resistant polyurea in black colour. They are also available in white on request. Furthermore they include a protection steel grille (but SUB-08). Special attention to detail has been given to offer flexible application solutions ensuring simple and reliable setups. A selection of professional accessories and rigging is available providing installation solutions for any application. For QB Series simulation and planning the Rainbow Prediction software is available to all Lynx users. Rainbow offers an accurate prediction for any sound reinforcement project with both horizontal and vertical planning available. 4

7 2. CABINET CONECTIONS 2.1 Normative QB Series cabinets meet the following standards: EN :1996: Electromagnetic compatibility. Product family standard for audio, video, audio-visual and entertainment lighting control apparatus for professional use (-1 Emmision). EN :1996: Electromagnetic compatibility. Product family standard for audio, video, audio-visual and entertainment lighting control apparatus for professional use. (-2 Immunity) EN 60065:2002: Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus. Safety requirements. 2.2 Cable connection In the following table you can see the maximum power of the cabinets and their nominal impedance. Model Connector Speakon Per box Impedance Power QB-5 Neutrik NL4-MP ±1 x 2 16 ohm 80 W QB-8 Neutrik NL4-MP ±1 x 2 8 ohm 150 W SUB-08 Neutrik NL4-MP ±1/±2 x 1 8 / 8 ohm DR-N12 Neutrik NL4-MP ±1 x 2 8 ohm 1000 W 7

8 2.3 Connectors The QB Series has a connection panel at the rear of the cabinet. This consists of 2 internally bridged Neutrik NL4- MP connectors which apply no process to the signal. Note: If pins +-2 are not used they will still be internally bridged. To power the cabinet use NL4 speakon connectors as shown in the following diagram. Consult the Conection cable table on previous page, under the column Speakon Connections to see which pins are used for each cabinet. To connect the speakon follow the instructions in fig. 1 FIG1 Insert the male speakon in its corresponding hole and turn right until it clicks. This fixes it safely and strongly and helps stop it being pulled out by mistake. At the other end of the cable connect in the same way to the amplifier channel. 8

9 2.4 Recommendations: Always ensure cables are in good condition. Know the recommended cable length and thickness according to the cabinet and quantity you are installing. An incorrect connection can affect the functioning of the system or even damage it. Cable thickness will vary according to cabinet impedance, quantity and distance. This is especially important when connecting Sub-bass cabinets. As a guide, please see the following table which outlines the thickness depending on the power and length of cable. Bear in mind Ohm ratings on the amplifiers used to power the cabinets. For example 2 ohm amplifier configurations are not recommended due to the excessive power from the amp output. Never connect more cabinets than recommended in parallel. With parallel connections, the total impedance can be calculated by dividing the impedance of 1 cabinet by the number connected. E.g: 2 QB-8 cabinets in parallel have an impedance of 4Ohm (8Ohm impedance - for 1 cabinet - divided by 2 numbers of cabinets connected). 9

10 3. CABINET INSTALLATION 3.1 Mounting advices The QB Series is designed to be used in fixed installations such as pubs, bars, restaurants, conference halls, hotels etc. A large selection of accessories are available to help ease the installation and achieve the necessary angulation to direct the sound towards the required listening zones. 3.2 Accessories WB-10 Wall bracket for the QB-5.
