D) AC MAINS INPUT/LINK: Mains supply connection via PowerCon.

•Blue connector for AC in.

•Grey connector to feed other units in parallel. Linking up to ten units is

possible, provided that a quality cable of a minimum section of 3 x 2.5mm

used. Connecting more than ten units in parallel may lead to a voltage drop in

the cable that will reduce the equipment performance.

Always use mains power cable supplied by manufacturer. Never connect

NÍTID cabinets to an unearthed mains supply or by using an unearthed

mains cable

E) AUTHENTICATION QR CODE: This QR code is a smart label that ensures that

the product is an original Amate Audio product. To verify the authenticity, please

follow the instructions in the following link:

3. CONFIGURATIONS

3.1. Parallel connection

Connect the signal (mixing desk output) to INPUT on the first unit. Use the LINK

output to transfer the INPUT signal to the second unit and thus sequentially for

further units. All of the units in this chain must be switched on.

For the mains connection use the cable with the blue PowerCon.

You can use the mains connection in parallel by using a cable with grey PowerCon

at one end and the blue PowerCon at the other end.

Fig. 3. Parallel connection for S10 (signal and mains)

Do not connect NÍTID series units using PowerCon without earth.

Do not connect more than ten units using the AC output link connector.

3.2 Parallel connection with subwoofer

You can connect the S10 in parallel with a subwoofer. Please, follow the same

parameters as explained in figure 3, both for audio signals and mains. The maximum

number of subwoofers that may be linked depend on the used model. Check the

subwoofer user manual for more information.

4. MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION

Flying an S10 system is easy, fast and secure. To perform any operations related to

flying the system, read the present document, and act on the warnings and advice

given.

Only experienced installers with adequate knowledge of the system and local safety

regulations should fly speaker cabinets.

It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the systems to be flown and the flying

accessories (such as chains, eyebolts, lock pins...) comply with state and local

regulations. They should be regularly inspected and replaced if in doubt.

When flying enclosures from ceiling support structures, extreme care should be

taken to assure the load bearing capabilities of the structures. Do not fly systems

from unsafe structures.

All flying accessories that are not supplied by Amate Audio are the user's

responsibility. Use at your own risk. Remember that no risks should be taken with

regards to public safety.

4.1. Placement

When possible, cabinets should be

located in a high position, slightly

inclined to the audience. If the

loudspeakers are located too low, the

listeners at the end of the room will not

hear a good sound quality.

Fig. 4. Flying placement

4.2. S10 with subwoofer

The S10 is equipped with a 35 mm socket for mounting

the speaker on a subwoofer (use SP/CRTL bar) or on

a tripod. Be careful not to use this system on non-flat

surfaces as it may become unstable.

4.3. Asymmetrical and rotatable horns

The S10 incorporates an asymmetrical dispersion horn which will optimise coverage.

To rotate the horn, unscrew the frontal grille, and then, unscrew the four fixing

screws of the horn. Rotate it 180 degrees taking care of the wires. Screw the horn

again and finally place the frontal grille in its right position.

Good coverage of audiences often is a conflicting combination of:

•wide coverage for the closest audience (short throw)

•narrow coverage for distant areas (long throw)

The asymmetrical dispersion horn coverage varies from "short throw" to "long throw"

along the vertical axis (keeping a constant vertical directivity). In conclusion,

directivity feature of (50º to 100º(H), 55º(V)) can be seen as if the horn itself had

"two" horizontal directivities, which depend on the distance. For short distances the

horn should be used with its "wide" dispersion (100º). For long distances the horn

should be used with its "narrow" dispersion (50º). We suggest you to pay attention

to the following examples.

4.3.1. Vertical-Positioned Cabinets (Flown and aiming to the audience)

We need wide coverage (100º) for the closest listeners and narrow coverage for the

distant audience.

4.3.3. Stage monitor use

Case 1

We need wider coverage (100º) when musicians are closer to the cabinet than when

they move away from it (50º).

Case 2

We need wider coverage (100º) when performers move away from the cabinet (long

stages) than when they are close to it (50º).
