‘treble tilt’ to -2 dB, if too bass heavy, set ‘bass
tilt’ to -2 dB. The adjustment is done by set-
ting the three groups of room response control
switches ‘treble tilt’, ‘bass tilt’ and ‘bass roll-off’
on the front panel of the amplifier. The manu-
facturer default settings for all controls are ‘All
Off’ to give a flat response in half space, i.e.
when the speaker has been installed in a wall.
Always start adjustment by setting all switches
to the ‘OFF’ position. Then set
only one
switch
within each group to the ‘ON’ position to select
the desired response curve. The switches are
not cumulative. If more than one switch is set
to ‘ON’ (within one switch group) the attenua-
tion value is not accurate.
Using Autostart and Remote control
functions
In daily use, the RAM1 amplifier can be
switched to “STANDBY” mode to save
energy by activating the signal sensing
Autostart function or by using a remote con-
trol unit (not included in the AIW26 system).
If the system is left unused for several days,
we recommend that you power it down using
the RAM1’s main power switch or a central
power switch if one has been installed.
The Autostart function is activated by turning
switch 4 (AUTOSTART) on the first switch
group to “ON”. Autostart turns the amplifier to
“STANDBY” mode if there is no signal present
for about 30 minutes. When the signal returns
the amplifier switches on immediately and
the speaker functions normally.
If you are using a remote control to switch the
RAM1 between “STANDBY” or “ON” modes
(see chapter “Connecting the RAM1 ampli-
fier”), turn switch 3 (REMOTE CONTROL), on
the first switch group to “ON”. This activates
the remote control function. In this setting
the remote control will override the Autostart
function. If you want to use Autostart, turn the
“REMOTE CONTROL” switch to “OFF”.
Protecting the settings
The control group of the RAM1 can be cov-
ered with a piece of plexiglass to protect
the settings. Attach the plexiglass over the
switch groups with two Phillips screws when
you have completed the adjustments. Do not
overtighten the screws.
Status indicator LED
The status indicator LED on the RAM1
changes colour to indicate amplifier status.
If the LED is yellow, it indicates that the
amplifier is in “STANDBY” mode. When the
amplifier is switched to “ON” mode, the LED
changes to green colour.
Automatic protection circuits
The AIW26 system has protection circuits
against speaker driver thermal overload and
amplifier overheating. The protection system
resets automatically so the user only has to
turn the input level down to ensure that it
does not reactivate.
Driver thermal overload protection protects
the drivers from damage caused by pro-
longed overdriving with excessively high or
distorted signal. The circuit automatically
reduces the volume of the channel that is
being overloaded. To avoid this, lower the
listening volume if the sound becomes harsh
and distorted at high sound pressure levels.
Amplifier thermal protection turns the ampli-
fier to “STANDBY” mode if the amplifier over-
heats. Let the amplifier cool down and check
that there is sufficient clearance around the
amplifier for cooling (see chapters “Space
requirement for the RAM1 amplifier” and
“Mounting the RAM1 amplifier to an equip-
ment rack” above). If the problem persists,
consult your Genelec dealer or Home Theater
Installation company for an improved cooling
solution for your equipment cabinet or rack.
Maintenance
There are no user serviceable parts within
the loudspeaker or the amplifier. Any main-
tenance or repair should only be undertaken
by qualified service personnel.
Safety considerations
• Servicing and adjustment must only
be performed by qualified service
personnel. The loudspeaker or
amplifier must not be opened.
• Do not use this product with an unearthed
mains cable as this may compromise
electrical safety.
• Do not expose the loudspeaker or the ampli-
fier to water or moisture. Do not place any
objects filled with liquid, such as vases, on
or near them.
• Do not place naked flame sources like lighted
candles on or near the loudspeaker or the
amplifier.
• This loudspeaker is capable of producing
sound pressure levels in excess of 85 dB,
which may cause permanent hearing
damage.
• Free flow of airaround the amplifier is nec-
essary to maintain sufficient cooling. Do not
obstruct airflow around the amplifier.
• Note that the amplifier is not completely dis-
connected from the AC mains service unless
the mains power cord is removed from the
amplifier or the mains outlet.
WARNING!
This equipment is capable of delivering Sound
Pressure Levels in excess of 85dB, which
may cause permanent hearing damage.
Guarantee
This product is supplied with a two year guar-
antee against manufacturing faults or defects
that might alter the performance of the unit.
