1 & 2. INPUTS: A Multicon Input allows
for the use of both XLR and 1/4" Jacks and
accepts balanced and unbalanced signals.
Note: a stereo signal on TRS lead cannot be
connected directly, and must be split to two
mono connectors.
4. MIX OUT: A signal feed which can be
used to connect a second Tensor cab (daisy
chained - see page 7), active wedge monitor, house PA or recording console for example. The Mix Out
signal level is not affected by the Main Volume Control.
MUSIC: A bass lift with a flat mid to high response.
Note: Set the Gain control to minimum before
connecting an audio signal.
Note: Set this control to minimum when
switching the unit ON or OFF.
LIMIT: The Tensor cabinets are equipped
with an onboard limiter to prevent overload
of the power amplifiers or loudspeakers. The
Limit led will illuminate when the Limiter is
active. Occasional blinking of the Limit led is
acceptable, but in the event of frequent or
continuous illumination, turn down the Gain
or Volume control.
MONITOR: A LF and HF roll-off with a cut around
900Hz.
VOCAL: A bass roll-off with flat mid and upper
frequencies.
3. MASTER VOLUME: Controls the
overall level of your Tensor system.
5. EQUALISATION: Four presets are included to
optimise the response of the cabinet to suit your needs.
The Mode button is used to Cycle through the EQ
presets.
GAIN: Use to set the channel level.
LIVE: Similar to the ‘Music’ response with the LF
lift frequency shifted.
The EQ setting is stored and recalled, so it will be as you
left it following a power cycle. Please note the unit is
shipped with the EQ mode set to MUSIC.
6. OPTION: A Ground lift has been provided to reduce the potential problem of earth loops when
connecting to other equipment. This control is to be used in conjunction with the Mix Out.
The Cabinets’ front logo illumination can be turned ON/Off with the Logo control.

8. MAINS SWITCH: Turns the system
on and off. Ensure the Volume control is
set to minimum when switching ON and
OFF.
9. VOLTAGE SELECT SWITCH:
Although every effort has been made to
select the correct voltage for the region of
use, please check before powering up for
the first time. Damage could occur if
the voltage is incorrectly set. See below
for more information.
7. MAINS INLET SOCKET AND FUSE:
IEC input for connection of an appropriate
mains lead. Only replace the fuse with the
type indicated on the rear panel.
10. INFORMATION: Area relating to
the amplifier: Serial Number, operational
information, power rating, etc.
11. AIR VENTS: These are critical for the
longevity and reliability of the amplifier - DO
NOT BLOCK. The same applies to the vents
at the top of the control panel.
Switch off and disconnect the power cord before proceeding.
1. Slide out the fuse holder tray.
2. Only replace fuse with the same
type and power rating as specified
on the rear panel.

E: Freestanding - on the ground.
B: Pole on sub.
The intuitive design of the Tensor cabinets provide user flexibility and a product that will serve in
many situations:
D: Flown horizontally.
C: Flown vertically.
F: Monitor mode - the cabinets shape allows for horizontal/angled position on stage.
CONFIGURATIONS
IMPORTANT
POLE MOUNT: Don't over-extend poles/tripods; ensure at least 4 x the pole diameter is still inside
the outer pole. Make sure the legs have a good splay on tripods, but do not obstruct doorways or
other access-ways. Make sure that the thumb screw on the cabinet is tight.
The rigging or suspended mounting of these speakers can expose members of the public to serious health
risks or even death. Under no circumstances attempt to rig, suspend or otherwise mount this system unless
you are fully qualified and certified to do so by relevant local, state and national authorities. All relevant
safety regulations must be followed. If you are not properly qualified or do not know of pertinent
regulations, consult qualified personnel for advice and assistance.
If you are not qualified, leave it to somebody who is. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or
death!
SUSPENDED: Tensor cabinets are fitted with M8 flying points for installation and suspended use.
Note: the suspension or 'flying' of cabinets should be performed only by properly qualified persons, in
compliance with all local laws and using approved hardware.

Note that eye bolts for flying systems must be cast,
shouldered fittings rated for the purpose.
Forged steel eye bolts of the type typically
available from DIY suppliers are NOT suitable
and should not be used under any
circumstances.
B: Replace with a suitable eye bolt. Ensure thread is
fully engaged into the insert.

ŸQUICK TIPS
ŸAvoid very high onstage levels from back-line amps.
ŸAvoid damp environments and extremes of temperature for storage and use of all audio
equipment.
ŸUse input gain to set maximum signal level without distortion.
ŸKeep lights away from speakers; heat can cause fires/speaker damage.
ŸDon't run cables across access-ways; if you have to, run them above doors or use approved
cable covers.
ŸUse electronic safety devices such as circuit breakers.
ŸMaster volume should be at zero for switch on and off.
ŸLook after your cables. Do not stand equipment on, or run cases over them, do not tie knots in
them and always use them for the correct application (a signal lead is NOT a speaker lead). Coil
and secure with cable ties before storing.
ŸEnsure your equipment is properly loaded and cannot move around during transit.
ŸBe aware of total power usage. Overloading a mains socket is potentially dangerous, and likely
to cause a power out during use.
ŸKeep power and signal cables apart.
ŸSet up microphone levels first, and adjust other equipment to match.
