4. INSTALLATION
The special hexagonal shape of the cabinet makes it possible
to position the speaker in various way, as shown in the figure.
The EAW Commercial plate on the front protective grille can be
rotated to adapt it to the position of the speaker. The speaker
body has four M6 threaded inserts, one each on the top and
bottom and two on the back, used for attaching accessories for
installing the speaker in different ways.
The SMS5 (SMS5W) loudspeakers are supplied
with a black (white) ball joint support for wall mounting.
WARNING: Consult a professional rigger or structural
engineer prior to suspending loudspeakers from a
structure not intended for that use. Always
know the working load limit of the structure
supporting the loudspeaker array. Always
make sure that the rigging hardware minimum
rating is at least five times the actual load.
5. CONNECTIONS
The gold-plated banana jacks are designed to accept single or double banana plugs and two-pole
cables. They provide a method of quickly connecting and disconnecting speaker cables to and
from the speaker. Double banana plugs have a tab on own side to indicate the ground (GND) side
of the connector. The side connects to the negative (–) terminal. If you use bipolar cables, we
recommend choosing cables that have a suitable cross-section (maximum diameter 6mm), as poor
quality cables or those of unsuitable size may cause power loss and sound degradation.
