6. Gebruiksaanwijzing

The PRO-HP52 horn waveguide functions as an acoustic amplifier and disperser for a connected compression driver. Its operation is dependent on the specifications and proper connection of the compression driver it is paired with.

Ensure the compression driver is correctly wired to your audio system's amplifier according to the driver's specific instructions.
Verify all connections are secure to prevent signal loss or damage.
Start with low volume levels and gradually increase to your desired listening level to avoid overdriving the compression driver.

7. Onderhoud en verzorging

Schoonmaak: Gebruik een zachte, damp cloth to wipe the surface of the horn waveguide. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the chrome finish.
Inspectie: Periodically check the mounting bolts for tightness. Vibrations can sometimes loosen fasteners over time.
Opslag: Als u het apparaat voor langere tijd opbergt, bewaar het dan op een koele, droge plaats, uit de buurt van direct zonlicht en extreme temperaturen.

8. Probleemoplossing

This section addresses common issues that may arise during the use of the PRO-HP52 horn waveguide. Note that most audio performance issues are related to the connected compression driver or the audio system itself.

Geen geluid:
- Check the wiring connections between the compression driver and the ampverliezer.
- Verify the compression driver is functioning correctly (refer to its specific manual).
- Zorg ervoor dat de amplifier is ingeschakeld en ontvangt een signaal.
Vervormd geluid:
