4. Opsætning

Proper setup is crucial for optimal performance and safety of your HDL6-A module.

4.1 Udpakning og inspektion

• Tag forsigtigt enheden ud af emballagen.
• Undersøg enheden for tegn på skader, der kan være opstået under transporten. Kontakt straks din forhandler, hvis der konstateres skader.
• Gem den originale emballage til senere transport eller opbevaring.

4.2 Strømtilslutning

• The HDL6-A uses a standard PowerCON connector for its power input.
• Connect the provided power cable to the blue Power IN connector on the rear panel.
• Tilslut den anden ende af strømkablet til en passende stikkontakt.
• For daisy-chaining power to other HDL6-A units, use the white Power LINK connector. Ensure not to exceed the maximum power consumption for the entire chain.

4.3 Lydforbindelse

• Connect your audio source (e.g., mixer, audio interface) to the Balanced INPUT XLR connector on the rear panel.
• To send the audio signal to another HDL6-A unit or other audio equipment, use the Balanced LINK XLR connector.
• Ensure all audio cables are securely connected and of high quality to minimize noise.

4.4 Montering og rigning

The HDL6-A is designed for line array configurations. Proper rigging requires professional knowledge and adherence to safety standards.

• Utilize the integrated rigging hardware for suspending the modules.
• Consult the rigging diagrams and instructions provided by RCF for specific array configurations and weight limits.
• Ensure all rigging points are secure and capable of supporting the total weight of the array.
• For ground stacking, ensure the units are stable and cannot tip over.

5. Betjening

Once the HDL6-A is set up, follow these steps for operation.

5.1 Tænd/sluk

• Sørg for, at alle forbindelser er sikre, før du tænder.
• Turn on your audio source (mixer, etc.) first, then power on the HDL6-A.
• When powering off, turn off the HDL6-A first, then your audio source.

5.2 Lydstyrkekontrol

• The VOLUME knob on the rear panel adjusts the output level of the module.
• Start with the volume at a low setting and gradually increase it to the desired level.

5.3 High Frequency (HF) Switch

• The HF switch allows you to select between 'FLAT' and 'BOOST' settings for the high frequencies.
• FLAD: Provides a neutral frequency response, suitable for most applications.
• BOOST: Enhances high frequencies, which can be useful for long-throw applications or to compensate for air absorption.

5.4 LED-indikatorer

• STRØM-LED: Lyser, når enheden er tændt.
• SIGNAL LED: Lyser, når der er et lydsignal.
• LIMITER LED: Illuminates when the internal limiter is active, indicating that the speaker is reaching its maximum output. Reduce the input level if this LED is constantly lit to prevent distortion and potential damage.

6. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and performance of your HDL6-A module.

• Rensning: Brug en blød, tør klud til at rengøre enhedens yderside. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler, opløsningsmidler eller voks.
• Ventilation: Periodically check that the ventilation openings are free from dust and debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clear them if necessary.
• Kabelinspektion: Regularly inspect all power and audio cables for signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.
