1. Introductions
Congratulations for having chosen the CYCLOP EWT
loudspeaker system!
To make the best use of the system, please read this
manual thoroughly before operating the equipment.
2. Instructions for use and installation
1. Protection and maintenance.
To avoid jeopardizing correct operation, it is best
not to position the enclosures for long periods in
exposed places (damp, high temperature, etc.), in dusty
environments or those subject to strong vibrations.
On this subject, it’s advisable to always leave the
protective grid mounted on the enclosure. In the event
of breakdown, do not open the enclosures, but contact
the nearest GENERALMUSIC Service Centre.
2. Prevention of possible interference.
Avoid installing your equipment in the vicinity of
radios, televisions, etc., since this could cause noisy
disturbance. When connecting other equipment to
your sound system, pay close attention to so-called
earthloops, which can cause hum: in the event of
interference, try using the SHIELD switch on the sub’s
control panel.
3. Connections.
Before connecting the sub-woofer to the mains supply,
make certain that the current corresponds with that
indicated on the rear of the unit (there is an allowance
of ±10%). Always connect the power cable to the sub-
woofer before switching on the enclosure and always
remove it after having switched off. Remember to
always connect or disconnect other equipment with the
sub-woofer off and to always switch on the mixer fi rst,
then the enclosure: in this manner, annoying and often
dangerous peaks are avoided.
4. Connector cables (fi g. 3).
When connecting the sub-woofer to the mixer, make
certain to always use only screened signal cables
made up of two wires plus a braid/screen: the use
of unscreened cables could in fact probably cause
annoying hum and noise. When connecting the satellites
to the sub-woofer, make certain to always use only
power cables made up of just two wires with the same
cross-section: the use of signal cables could cause
an excessive loss of power. Check periodically that
your cables are in good condition, correctly wired and
with perfectly effi cient contacts: in fact many problems
and drawbacks (false contacts, ground hum, crackles,
etc.) are caused by the use of unsuitable or damaged
cables.
3. Connection panel (fi g. 2)
1. STEREO XLR-F + JACK sockets connected in
parallel for the signal input to the sub-woofer and the
linking to other units.
2. STEREO power outputs for the SATELLITES with
SPEAKON connectors.
3. Controls of the signal level sent to the two
SATELLITES. You can use these controls to balance
the mid-high and low sections of your system: reduce
the satellite volume if you want to enhance the low
response of your system, increase the satellite volume
if you need a brighter sound and a better defi nition at
the mid-high frequencies.
4. Control for separating the electrical earth from that
of the chassis.
5. ON/OFF switch with LED indicator.
6. Power supply socket.
4. Installation, connections and transport
(fi g. 1&3)
CYCLOP EWT is a 3-way bi-amplified P.A. system
made of a sub-woofer and two satellites. The system is
powered by 3 amplifi ers (one with 300W for the sub and
two with 150W each for the satellites) housed inside the
subwoofer.
1. Installation
The best position for the sub is on the fl oor, because
the low frequency response is enhanced by the fl oor
reflections. The sub can also lean on one side, if
needed. It’s not necessary to place the sub in a central
position, because the low frequencies don’t have
directivity and therefore they are evenly diffused also if
the sub stays at one side of the stage.
The satellites must be placed on a higher position to
ensure a proper sound diffusion. The more they will be
spaced one from the other the more the stereo image
will be enhanced.
2. Connections
Make use of BALANCED signal cables for the
connection of the sub-woofer to the mixer. Both 1/4”
JACK and M-XLR connectors can be used.
Make use of SPEAKON power cables for the connection
of the satellites to the sub-woofer.
3. Transport
CYCLOP EWT SUB has four wheels on the bottom
side and a housing for the satellites on the front panel.
Once the sub is on the wheels, the two satellites can be
placed on top of it and the whole system can be easily
transported also by one people.
