DESCRIPTION
The Andante series is a series of lightweight, highly portable bi-amplified active PA speakers with an
extremely versatile feature set for a broad range of purposes including bands, mobile DJs, conferences
and events. Using impact-resistant Polypropylene (PP) as the cabinet material and a high-headroom
hybrid class AB + class D amplifier, these speakers are both robust in their handling and powerful in
their performance. Adding precision transducers, they offer great sound with superb dynamics and the
flexibility to adapt to any application from speech broadcasting to music replay, whether live or pre-
recorded.
The Andante series consists of three different models:
- SMA 1020: 10" / 2-way bi-amplified
- SMA 1220: 12" / 2-way bi-amplified
- SMA 1520: 15" / 2-way bi-amplified
The specifications for each model are available at the end of this user manual.
SETTING UP
A. LOCATION
When choosing a location for the Andante speakers, keep the following in mind:
- During transport or setup, avoid touching the cones of the loudspeakers with any object or
with your hands, as this could cause irreparable damage. Do not remove the protection grille.
- Avoid pointing microphones in the direction of the speakers, as this could result in annoying
feedback which can damage the speaker drivers.
B. POSITION
B.1. ON THE FLOOR
Andante speakers can either be positioned upright
(vertical) for general PA use or in horizontal position for
monitor use. Make sure that the floor is flat and even to
avoid the speakers to tumble. Avoid resonating floor
positions for better sound.
B.2. ON A TRIPOD
The Andante speakers are equipped with a 1-3/8 inch (35mm) stand
mount, to allow mounting on tripod stands. Make sure that:
- The speaker stand is certified of being capable of supporting the weight of the
speaker.
- The speaker stand is placed on a flat, stable surface and the tripod legs are
fully extended.
- The speaker stand legs and any cables are out of the way of any persons who
may accidently trip over the stand or cables and pull the speaker system
over.
Before lifting the speaker onto the stand, be confident that you can handle
the weight safely and without injury to yourself, others, or damage to the
speaker.
