Please observe the following instructions carefully for your own safety and that of equipment.

• If the speakers fall, it can cause serious damage to persons or properties.

• Read the instructions printed on the back of the speakers.

• Ask your nearest dealer or qualified installers for installation and wiring.

• Place the speakers on a stable surface.

• Secure the speakers with safety wires or equivalent.

• Detach the speaker and the speaker stand before adjusting their height.

• Separate the speaker and the speaker stand before moving the set to a different location.

• Do not install the speaker with the stand at a place where passers-by might stumble on them.

REGULATORY STATEMENTS

WS-AT300

• This speaker system is a 2-way bass-reflex type

incorporating a 38-cm (15”) woofer and a Square

Contour Wave Guide (SCWG) horn tweeter.

• The speaker system accepts a continuous program

input of 400 W or 200 W(RMS). It delivers high

outputs from its compact body with a maximum

sound pressure level of 122 dB.

• The SCWG horn minimizes the disturbing reflection

sound generated near the open end and to provide

a constant directivity of 60˚ (horizontal) and 40˚

(vertical). You can easily attach again the horn to

the enclosure by turning it 90˚ as required for

horizontal or vertical speaker installation.

• The enclosure has essential features such as

toughness to transportation, a recessed type

handle for carrying, the convex and concave for

stacking, holes for mounting bracket, safety wires,

etc.

PREFACE

WS-AT350

• This Subwoofer is a bass-reflex type incorporating

a 38-cm (15”) cone speaker and to be used with

the RAMSA Subwoofer Processor WS-SP2A.

• The WS-AT350 accepts an input of 400 W (RMS). It

delivers high outputs, though it is small in size, with

a maximum sound pressure level of 118 dB.

• The enclosure has essential features such as

toughness to transportation, a recessed type

handle for carrying, the convex and concave for

stacking, holes for mounting bracket, safety wires,

etc.

• Power loss may increase as the total speaker

impedance gets lower with a number of speaker

hookups. Use the largest speaker cable in wire

gauge to reduce power loss.

• Switch off the power amplifiers before connecting

the speakers or other peripherals.

• Avoid the followings all the time to protect the

speakers from damage.

*Turning on and off mixing consoles and other

peripherals may cause shock noise when the

amplifiers and subwoofer processor are on.

*Shock noise resulting from the connection/

disconnection of inputs/outputs with any

powered-up equipment

*Pop noise from microphones without

appropriate use of breath-pop screen and/or

high-pass filter

*Click noise caused by switching on or off the

phantom power for microphones

*Continuous operation at very low frequency

from an oscillator, synthesizer or program

sources

PRECAUTIONS

*High frequency noise developed by fast-

forward or fast-rewind operation of a tapedeck

*Out of tune noise in FM broadcast

*Feed-back from microphones or electronics

musical instruments.

• Match the polarities of all the speakers by

observing the connectors and wire colors when

using two or more speakers.

• Read “PROTECTION CIRCUITS” on page 8. Turn

down the volume control of the amplifier

immediately if the sound suddenly decreases.

• You should use the WS-AT350 Subwoofer all the

time with Subwoofer Processor WS-SP2A. The WS-

SP2A processes the signal to protect the speakers

from damage due to an excessive input signal.

• Changing the tweeter direction

You can alter the directivity when placing the WS-

AT300 horizontally.

1. Unscrew four bolts to detach the tweeter.

2. Turn the tweeter by 90˚.

3. Tighten four bolts to attach the tweeter again.

4. Rotate the RAMSA badge by 90˚.

INSTALLING THE SPEAKER

• Stacking

Speakers can be stacked one upon another as

illustrated.

Place an additional speaker on top of another, making

sure to match their convex and concave portions.

Sound dispersion angles

• On wall or ceiling

You can install the speaker on a wall or ceiling with a

mounting bracket (not supplied).

qPlace the bracket on the enclosure.

wScrew the eye bolts into the screw holes of the

enclosure by hand.

eFix the speaker to a wall or ceiling.

rTake safety protections mentioned in “Secure the

speaker.”

Note: Installers should seek advice on the building

structure and load capacity, if unknown, from

an architect or a structural engineer.

• Secure the Speaker

Use safety wires (not supplied) when hanging the

speaker from a wall or ceiling. This is not a major

means of support but just a safety relief.

qTighten the eye bolts with washers and bolt nuts

(not supplied) into the screw holes of the enclosure

by hand.

wSet the direction of the eye bolts to be in the best

position for binding safety wires.

eFasten the bolt nuts with wrench.

rBind one end of safety wires to the eye bolts.

tSecure the other end of safety wires to the

supporting structure of the building.

• Mounting on a stand

1. You can mount the speaker on a speaker stand by

using the stand hole in the enclosure bottom.

2. The stand should have a supporting pipe of ø1.5

inches.

3. Take safety protections by placing it in a safety

location, for exemple.

You can find the TS (tip-sleeve) phone jack and

SPEAKON connector on the back of the enclosure.

These two are usable as input or output terminals since

they are wired in parallel. See the block diagram on

page 9.

CONNECTING SPEAKER CABLES

Notes:

• Do not connect more than two speakers in parallel.

Excessively low impedance can cause distorted

output sound or damage to the amplifier.

• Match the sound phase of all speakers by

confirming the polarities of connection when using

two or more speakers.

1. Connect signal input from an amplifier to either TS

phone jack or SPEAKON connector.

2. Bridge the first speaker and the second when using

two speakers in parallel as illustrated.

• The WS-AT300 has separate overload protection

circuits for woofer and tweeter. When activated by an

excessive input signal, they mute the output sound.

Turn down the volume control for 2 to 20 seconds to

reset the circuits.
