4. Configuració

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

4.1 Desembalatge i inspecció

• Traieu amb cura la unitat del seu embalatge.
• Inspeccioneu la unitat per detectar qualsevol signe de danys que s'hagin pogut produir durant el transport. Si trobeu danys, poseu-vos en contacte amb el vostre distribuïdor immediatament.
• Conserveu l'embalatge original per a futurs transports o emmagatzematges.

4.2 Connexió d'alimentació

• 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.
• Connecteu l'altre extrem del cable d'alimentació a una presa de corrent de CA adequada.
• 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 Connexió d'àudio

• 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 Muntatge i muntatge

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. Funcionament

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

5.1 Engegada/apagada

• Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions estiguin ben fixades abans d'encendre.
• 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.
