INTRODUCTION

UNPACKING

INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING

Congratulations on your purchase of the new Altium15/Altium12 powered speaker, 
and thank you for your confidence in the brand. You are amongst the growing number 
of audio professionals who have made one of Southern Africa’s leading brands of 
professional and commercial audio systems.

Please inspect the speaker carefully immediately after unpacking. If you find any visible 
damage, notify your supplier/retailer immediately. Be sure to save the carton and all packing 
materials should you need to ship the unit back to your authorised service centre.

Both  Altium15/Altium12 speakers can be used as free standing, pole mounted or  
hung/suspended.
A Top-Hat has been fitted underneath the speaker for pole mounting, with dual angle 
operation (0 and 10°)..

7 x M8 flypoints have been included for fixed suspended installations. Three of the flypoints 
are located on the top of the speaker, another three on the bottom and the last one on the 
rear of the cabinet for angling purposes. 

Altium15/Altium12 offers an 18 month “No-Quibble” carry-in guarantee, and should 
your speaker, in the unlikely event, be damaged upon receipt and inspection, we offer 
an exchange immediately, provided that all packaging and cabling is returned in original 
condition.

For your safety, please read the important precautions before installing and operating your 
speaker. The Altium15/Altium12 is based on the same advanced circuit topologies 
that have made Hybrid products the choice of professionals for the past 30 years. The 
Altium15/Altium12 has been designed for high operating efficiency and accurate 
sonic performance across the full audio bandwidth, even under stressful conditions. 
Internal components are the finest available, and sub-assemblies are pre-tested before final 
assembly. Finally, each speaker is “burned in” and thoroughly tested using precision audio 
test equipment before shipping. In addition, both the  Altium15/Altium12 incorporates  
extensive protection features to safeguard both internal circuitry and transducers. This 
proven combination of advanced design, quality construction and comprehensive circuit 
protection is your guarantee of fail-safe reliability, and you can depend on consistent, stable 
performance.
