6. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
The PRO-HP52 horn waveguide functions as an acoustic amplifier and disperser for a connected compression driver. Its operation is dependent on the specifications and proper connection of the compression driver it is paired with.
- Ensure the compression driver is correctly wired to your audio system's amplifier according to the driver's specific instructions.
- Verify all connections are secure to prevent signal loss or damage.
- Start with low volume levels and gradually increase to your desired listening level to avoid overdriving the compression driver.
7. Mantenimiento y cuidado
- Limpieza: Utilice un paño suave y seco.amp cloth to wipe the surface of the horn waveguide. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the chrome finish.
- Inspección: Periodically check the mounting bolts for tightness. Vibrations can sometimes loosen fasteners over time.
- Almacenamiento: Si va a almacenar la unidad durante un período prolongado, manténgala en un lugar fresco y seco, alejado de la luz solar directa y de temperaturas extremas.
8. Solución de problemas
This section addresses common issues that may arise during the use of the PRO-HP52 horn waveguide. Note that most audio performance issues are related to the connected compression driver or the audio system itself.
- Sin sonido:
