[. . . ] Both models are fitted with a 50 watt high efficiency power amplifier with external heatsink. Ensure that the heatsink is not obstructed and that adequate airflow can circulate around it to ensure safe and reliable operation. The amplifier accepts either balanced or unbalanced signals, through a detachable Phoenix-style connector or a single RCA connector. Nominal sensitivity of the Balanced input is +4dBu and -10dBu for the unbalanced input. Both models are fitted with 4 threaded inserts on the rear for attaching the supplied mounting bracket. Access to the mounting points is gained by removing the four screws and the blank cover plate. There is also a threaded insert for attachment of a seismic restraint tether.

Step 1a ­ Remove four screws holding cover plate (2) on rear of speaker. Step 1b ­ Mount the bracket with the threaded bolt to the cabinet using the four screws removed in step 1 (4). Step 3 ­ When the speaker is ready for installation, insert the bolt in the wall plate bracket from below. Step 6 ­ Ensure that seismic restraint cable is firmly attached to both the loudspeaker and an anchor point on the mounting surface.

The Q6A and Q8A may be connected to either a balanced audio system or an unbalanced source. Balanced connections are less likely to respond to radio frequency interference or cross-talk from other sources, and allow for longer cable runs. [. . . ] Rotate the volume control counter-clockwise to the minimum setting before switching the power on. Start the program source and set the preamplifier or mixer gain to a nominal level. 8 Then, slowly increase the speaker's level by turning the Volume control counter-clockwise until the sound level is adequate for the application. TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: The Concourse Q6A and Q8A are not user-serviceable, and no attempt should be made to repair or modify the electronics in the field. Refer all service and repair to the nearest authorized QUAD Industrial service center or directly to the QUAD Industrial distributors sales office in your region. [. . . ]
