Cetacea Sound Astronaut 001 Standard Power Kit - Manual (Page 2)

Trouble Shooting
NOISE : Make sure all cable connections are tight.
NO SOUND: Verify that the GREEN light is on at the speaker
input panel. Verify the sound source is “ON” and playing.
Tips & Tricks
Do not disconnect source cables while speaker is powered up. This will result in unwanted noise.
The built-in mixer is for multiple connection convenience only. Do not play more than
one input at a time or severe damage may occur to the speaker.
Do not play the Astronaut at full volume. If it is not loud enough before sounding distorted, the room
may require two speakers for adequate sound coverage. Prolonged distortion will eventually cause
severe damage to the speaker
Cetacea PAL microphones are designed and matched to our equipment. Use of other brands of
microphones is not advised.

Ceiling Mounting Instructions
1-1 Speaker Location
Locate an appropriate location on the ceiling. The Astronaut can be located anywhere on the
ceiling and does not need to be in the center of the room to sound the best. Try to maintain at
least 4 feet of space from the nearest wall or vertical obstruction.
CAUTION: INSTALL SPEAKERS IN A SAFE PLACE. AWAY FROM DIRECT HEAT, HIGH
HUMIDITY AND PHYSICAL OBSTRUCTIONS.
1-2 Mounting Bracket
Remove a ceiling tile and set it on a
fi rm surface. Use the ceiling bracket
as a guide, mark the location where
you will drill ¼" holes.
Drill or tap the ¼" holes in the ceiling surface.
