Introduction
Brilliant sound at high sound pressure levels, high quality components, a reliable service, and all this to a reasona-
ble price – these are the pretensions of the LD PREMIUM series.
The series consist of 8”(A), 10”(A), 12”(A) and 15(A)” multi – purpose speakers, as well as of the VA-4 and VA-8
Line-Array systems. Subwoofers from 1x15”, 2x15” and 2x18” complement the product line.
Concept
Specially manufactured high quality components are exclusively used in the LD PREMIUM series. The whole
range was developed by experienced audio-developers and FOH engineers in the USA and Germany. The uniquely
designed cabinets are all made of 15/18mm birch multiplex and coated with the DURACOAT LX coating – which
helps stand up to the tough daily demands of touring and live applications. The fly ware and stacking components
are easy to use and meet the highest demands in terms of safety.
Thanks to the high manufacturing quality, which we constantly control in all areas, from the individual components
through to the finished product, all LD Premium customers are given a 3 Year guarantee.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES:
1. Please read the attached safety instructions as well as the following instructions carefully.
2. Please keep all the instructions.
3. Please use the device only as intended.
4. Please respect the valid waste management rules. Please deliver the packaging divided into plastic and
paper/ cardboard to the recycling management.
5. Please refer all servicing to qualified personel only, if the device is damaged, exposed to liquid/rain or if it does
not operate normally.
6. Please, do not expose to any kind of heat such as ovens, radiators, or any other devices (incl. amplifiers).
Please check for enough distance between amplifiers and walls, racks, etc. to prevent overheating.
7. After connection please check the wiring to prevent any kind of accident or damage.
Please never use any kind of damaged cable and wiring.
8. Only use authorized and stable stands, brackets, shelfs, tables etc.. for installations. Please check for
adequate stability against collapse.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servic-
ing to qualified personnel.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product´s enclosure that may be
of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk to persons.
The exclamation mark within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the
appliance.
CAUTION! HIGH VOLUME!
You will operate this system for professional use. Therefore the commercial use of this equipment is liable to the
rules and regulations of the Accident Prevention & Insurance Association of your industry sector. Adam Hall as a
manufacturer is bound to inform you formally about the existence of eventual sanitary risks.
These speakers are able to induce high acoustic sound pressure levels. 85 db is by law the maximum audio pres-
sure level which your ear can be exposed to during a work day. It was set according to the technical expertise of
the occupational medicine as a basis for the noise rating level. Higher sound levels or longer exposition times could
damage your ear. The time of exposition by higher sound pressure levels should be shortened in order to prevent
from ear damages. Here are a few reliable warning signals which show that you have exposed yourself for a too
long period to excessive sound pressure levels:
- You hear bell- or whistling sounds!
- You have the impression that you can’t hear high tones anymore!

INSTALLATION & OPERATING:
TRANSPORT & INSTALLATION
During the transport of the LDV8(A)/10(A)/12(A)/15(A) speaker please take care of a sufficient protection against
drop over, drop down etc. (e. g. protection with fastening belts during transport). Wearing of working clothes
during carrying of the speakers is recommended (especially work gloves, work boots). Because of the weight the
speakers should not be carried overhead.
Please do not install the items directly beside an edge like a stage border. If a stand is used please make sure to
use only undamaged stands (Ø 36 mm) fitting correctly into the support. The speakers LDV8(A)/10(A)/12(A)/15(A)
should be placed only on a stable and licensed speaker stand (speaker stand SPS56B / SPS56S recommended).
Using the adjustable tophat SM707 (patent pending) the satellites can be adjusted in +/- 4° steps to maximum 12°
(LDV10(A)/12(A)/15(A)).
FLYING INSTALLATION
LDV8(A)/10(A) are equipped with M8 threads for M8 eyebolts to suspend the LDV8(A)/10(A) using carabiner with
chains / wire cables. LDV12(A)/15(A) are equipped with cargo retain tracks to install the cargo stud (art. no 5740).
Using carabiner and
chains / wire cables the LDV12(A)/15(A) can be suspended for a flying installation.
Please use only certified and intact flyware (cargo studs, eyebolts, carabiner, chains. wire cables etc.).
Please notice also the corresponding requirements for a flying installation above people listed in the BGVC1 or
other valid regulations (depends on country)!
OPERATING
Please take care for an accurate wiring of the speaker. Please use only undamaged cables of an adequate size
(min. 2 x 1.5 mm² for speaker connection). Please check the wiring for any kind of trip hazard etc. to prevent any
kind of accidence or damage (Gaffa-Tape).
The terminal of the LDV8(A)/10(A)/12(A)/15(A) is equipped with an 4-polar Speakon input as well as a 4-polar
Speakon output seat. The connections 1+/- are used by the LDV8(A)/10(A)/12(A)/15(A). All 4 poles of the input seat
are connected directly to the 4 poles of the output seat enabling the connection of further speakers even if the
connections 2+/- are used.
The connection of further speakers decreases the total impedance. Please take care that the total impedance does
not fall below the required impedance of the amplifier.
STAGEMONITOR OPERATION
If the LDV8(A)/10(A)/12(A)/15 (A) speakers should be used as a stage monitor they must be installed horizontally as
shown in the drawing on page 6. When necessary the horntweeter can be rotated by 90° to get a better horizontal
dispersion of high frequencies. To do that please remove the front grille first. Then remove the 8 screws located in
the mounting flange of the horn. Afterwards the horn can be rotated by 90° (please do never turn the horn by more
than 90°). If the horntweeter should be turned back for vertically use of the speaker, it is strictly recommend, that
the horn is rotated in the opposite direction. If the horntweeter is rotated in the same direction for several times,
wiring or terminals of the horntweeter can be damaged.

Application notice regarding the SM707 adjustable speaker stand receptacle (LDV10(A)/12(A)/15(A))
The built-in, patented SM707 adjustable speaker top hat offers unparalleled possibilities for adjustment
+/-12° in 4° increments. To do this, simply lift the cabinet slightly on the speaker stand, causing the set angle to
loosen, and lower the cabinet on the stand again to cause it to engage at the desired angle (see drawing).
