6. RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER

Following table shows the output power of the amplifier adequate to each acoustic system:
AWAK108i between 150 and 300W
AWAK208i between 250 and 550W
AWAK112i between 350 and 700W
AWAK115i between 450 and 900W
AWAK215i between 1000 and 2000W
AWAK SB115i between 400 and 800W
AWAK SB118i between 500 and 1000W

7. PRE-AMPLIFYING MIXERS

Avoid excessive gain adjustments in the equalizer or tone control sections.

8. PLACEMENT AND MOUNTING

Consider following general rules:
Place the acoustic enclosures on solid and firm surfaces. The Sub bass speakers will
prove more effective if placed on the floor horizontally, instead of flying, elevating or placing the unit
vertically. No obstacles should stand between the enclosures and the audience. The high
frequencies are very directive compared to the low frequencies, so that any obstacle will impair their
response. In case large audiences must be addressed, a better long distance sound propagation will
be achieved if the enclosures are flown high enough.

9. SUSPENDING THE UNIT

During the development of the AWAK series, we have carefully studied for each model the
best method to fly the enclosure.
For the model 108 we recommend the SR 10 rigging type, which allows for a total
orientation of the enclosure (see diagram).
For the model 208 we recommend the SR 10/12 rigging type, which allows for a total
orientation of the enclosure (see diagram).
For the model 112 and 115 we recommend the SR 12 rigging type (see diagram).
Models 108, 208, 112 and 115 feature built in nuts for the installation of screw hooks to
facilitate the fixing of chains or steel cables (see diagram).
Least, model 215 features two lateral and one rear bracket, which allow the insertion of
ECLERs FL200 rigging kit (see diagram).
When using SR10 or SR12 fixings, an additional safety cable must be attached.
The units must never be flown from their transportation handles.
