Introduction

Active speaker system

The ARES5A is a 2-way active speaker system consisting of an active and passive unit to be linked witch each other.

It offers an easy and exible solution for a wide variation of applications, producing a clear and powerful sound.

The integrated amplier can deliver a power of 2 x 40 Watt and includes a stereo line input which is implemented

balanced and unbalanced, allowing convenient connection to any kind of audio source. Unbalanced audio sources

are connected through a 3.5 mm jack connector, while balanced sources can be connected to the terminal block

input connection allowing long signal runs without interference. A volume potentiometer allows the user to adjust

the level of loudness while the two-band tone control allows equalization of treble and bass. The auto-standby

mode reduces the power consumption when no input signal is detected. The active speaker includes an stereo

amplier module, also delivering the input signal to the passive unit.

A special designed bracket systems allows close to wall installation of the speakers, while the recessed bracket

structure guarantees an optimal cosmetic outlook of the system.

A remote input connection implemented trough an RJ45 connector allows wall panel connections, allowing

expansion of the system through remote input modules. A variation of optional remote input units with different

input possibilities is available.

Overview ARES5A: Rear

1) Volume control

This button controls the general volume of the speaker

system.

2) Treble control

This button allows you to increase or decrease the high

frequencies by 12 dB. By adding high frequencies, the

intelligibility can be improved. In the center position, the

sound is neutral. You can adjust it to the desired level.

CAUTION: To reduce risk of fire or electrical

shock, do not expose this unit to rain or

moisture

ATTENTION: Pour réduire les risques

d’incendie ou d’électrocution, ne pas

exposer cet appareil à la pluie ou à l’humidité

ARES5A - User manual010

3) Bass control:

By adding bass, you can add warmth to your music.

Decreasing bass can improve the intelligibility of spoken

messages, certainly in reverberant rooms. These values

can be increased or decreased by 12 dB

4) Unbalanced line input 3.5mm:

The audio source from a portable device like a laptop,

a phone, … can be connected to this unbalanced line

input. The applied signal should be a line-level signal.

6) Remote connector:

Remote input units can be connected to this RJ45 input

connector. For more information about compatible devices

and further information about pinouts, cable runs and

technical possibilities, check additional documentation on

our websites or from the optional accessories.

5) Balanced line input:

These inputs can be used when connecting source

devices with a balanced output signal. The balanced

input connections are performed using three-pin

Terminal block connectors. Balanced signals are less

sensitive for interference caused by external devices.

For this reason is balanced wiring recommended when

using long cable runs between the source device and

the speakers, or when installed in areas where a lot of

interference occurs.

7) Stereo/mono switch:

The operation mode can be switched between mono

and stereo mode with this switch. When the speaker is

used in mono mode, the input signal applied to the left

input signal will be fed to the amplier.

8) Standby switch:

In normal operation, the speaker switches to standby

mode after ~20 minutes of inactivity (no signal detection).

It automatically wakes-up in presence of an input signal.

This switch allows to enable & disable the auto standby

mode in situations where this behavior is not desirable.

When switched ON, the power LED illuminates in blue

color, while orange when switched to standby.

9) Speaker output:

This two pin terminal block connector should be used to

connect the supplied passive loudspeaker. Using other

loudspeakers can give bad results and even cause

damage to the main unit. Be sure that the polarity of

the speakers is correct.

10) Power supply socket:

The unit should be connected to the mains circuit by using

a standard IEC C7/C8 power cord.
