Product Description

The 12.1P is a self contained, powered 12" subwoofer providing over

300 watts continuous output to the speaker. The 12.1P makes the

addition of a subwoofer to a VID system very easy and efficient. Since

the unit is self-powered, the full range satellite speakers can be powered

independently from the subwoofer and optimized for the installation.

The 12.1P features a high performance, variable, 12-dB/octave

crossover and a full range line level output along with a high pass line

level output on the rear panel. The unit can be mounted in a variety of

configurations with the bracket hardware supplied.

Product Feature Identification

The 12.1P subwoofer comes with a dual-mode mounting bracket that

enables the unit to be easily mounted at either a wall/wall (corner) or on

a wall/ceiling (midwall) junction. The included forged steel eyebolt

provides the installer a solid attachment point for a safety line. When

properly anchored and supported, the 12.1P subwoofer may also be

safely installed protruding just 2 3/4" down through a standard sus-

pended ceiling grid. See installation instructions.

Step-by-Step Installation & Wiring

Step 1: Mount the Bracket

The mounting bracket can be installed two ways (see Figures 5 and 6),

allowing optimal configurations for installations. Leave 1.5" of space

between the bracket and the ceiling when installing in a corner! Attach

the bracket to the wall with suitable fasteners screwed into structural

members in the wall. Remember: It is the installers responsibility to

insure that the structure can safely support the load.

Step 2: Install the Safety Line

Using accepted safe rigging practices, secure one end of a suitable

safety line (use cable, not chain, which will rattle) to a strong, secure

point above the speaker, a point that can withstand the shock of the

falling speaker. This is especially important in public spaces constructed

with light gauge steel studs. Do not attach the safety line to the bracket!

The safety line should prevent the speaker from falling if the bracket

tears loose from the wall. Secure the other end to the eyebolt that is fully

threaded into the enclosure.

Figure 7: Wiring Configuration

Step 3: Wire the Speaker

A typical wiring configuration is shown in Figure 7. It is highly advisable

to support the unit while these connections are being made. When

mounting the speaker in a corner mount configuration, a right angle XLR

connector such as Neutrik #NC3MRC or equiv. is required for the signal

connections (see Figure 7). Connect the line level signal from the mixer,

pre amplifier or other source into the line input connector. Plug in the

power cord and connect the unit to a standard 120VAC power source.

The proper crossover setting is

determined by the satellite

speakers used. The following

are general guidelines:

Adjust the crossover according

to the chart above. Set the

appropriate sub level before

making the final mounting to the

bracket.

Step 4: Mount the Speaker to the Bracket

First remove the two Phillips-head screws on the rear of the enclosure.

Use the supplied eyebolt to mount one mounting clip to the top of the

speaker as shown in Figure 8. Check to make sure that the wiring

connections to the amplifier and the satellite speakers are correct and

secure.

For corner mounting

Attach the four rubber mounting feet to the front side edges, and secure

the safety line to the eyebolt. Lift the enclosure up to the ceiling and

center it back it into the corner until it touches the bracket rungs, then

carefully lower it so the top clip hooks over the top rung of the bracket

(1). Insert one of the 3/8-16-thread Phillips-head screws through the

remaining clip and, with the clip pointing up, thread the screw finger-tight

into the lower mtg. hole on the enclosure (2, 3). Level the clip and tighten

securely with a #3 right-angle Phillips screwdriver. ven though the

enclosure hangs from the top clip, always install the lower one to secure

against possible disengagement of the top clip. Straighten the V® logo

and press firmly at its center to seat it securely into its mounting hole.

For midwall mounting

Attach the four rubber mounting feet inside the corners on the side of the

enclosure that will be against the wall and attach the safety line to the

eyebolt. Insert one of the 3/8-16-thread Phillips-head screws through the

remaining clip and keep it within arms reach. Lift the enclosure up to the

ceiling and bring its back into contact with the bracket rungs. Slide the

enclosure sideways to engage the clip over one bracket rung (1) and,

while holding it tight against both rungs, insert the 3/8-16-thread screw

with its clip into the remaining mounting hole so the clip engages the

remaining bracket rung (2, 3). Finger-tighten the screw and straighten

the clip. The enclosure may now be released. It will slide down the rungs

until the four rubber feet are snug against the wall. Using a #3 right-angle

Phillips screwdriver, securely tighten the second Phillips-head screw.

Gently rotate the V® logo a quarter turn and press firmly at its center to

seat it securely into its mounting hole. See Figure 9.

Mounting through a suspended ceiling grid

On the rear of the enclosure install and tighten two 3/8-16-thread forged

steel eyebolts (one is included) with a 3/8" flat washer under each. Cut

two pieces of ordinary drop ceiling L angle (wall track) 23 3/4" long and

screw them to the top and bottom of the enclosure with 3/4"-long sheet

metal screws, as shown in Figure 10. Connect all of the wires and

suspend the enclosure, face down, by the eyebolts in accordance with

accepted safe rigging practice. Adjust the length of the rigging cables so

the tips of the installed L angles just rest on the ceiling cross-tees. This

stabilizes the enclosure from rocking. Trim the ceiling panel to fit the new

opening(s) and drop into place. It is the installers responsibility to assure

that the chosen rigging points are strong enough to support the load.

Warning Never try to install this speaker in a suspended

ceiling without proper rigging support!

Floor Mounting

The VID 12.1P may be placed directly on the floor in a corner or on

its side along a straight wall by simply attaching the four rubber mounting

feet to the side that will sit on the floor.

Step 5: Test System peration

After all connections are made test the complete system operation.

Appendix C on page 10 contains a troubleshooting guide to assist in

locating a variety of speaker related problems.
