RIGGING

The FUSSION 1800SA and 1800S cabi-

nets are not designed for rigging or flying.
The cabinets are for floor-mounting only.

WARNING:

 Never attempt to suspend the

FUSSION 1800SA or 1800S loudspeakers
by their handles.

AC POWER

The FUSSION 1800SA is shipped with a

connector that mates with the AC recep-
tacle on the rear panel. Use heavy gauge
wire for the linecord to avoid power losses
across the wire.

The following guide should be followed

when wiring a linecord:

specified line voltage, the built-in amplifiers
will no longer be able to supply rated
power. (They will continue to operate
down to 80% of the rated line voltage, but
won’t reach full power, resulting in lower
headroom.)

Under maximum SPL conditions,

where musical peaks are just clipping, the
FUSSION 1800SA has the following cur-
rent requirements:

115V

230V

Max. Continuous RMS

10A

6A

Max. Peak

 12A

8A

Be sure the electrical service can supply

enough amperage for all the components
connected to it.

We recommend that a stiff (robust) sup-

ply of AC power be used because the
amplifiers place high current demands on
the AC line. The more power that is avail-
able on the line, the louder the speakers will
play and the more peak output power will
be available for cleaner, punchier bass. A
suspected problem of “poor bass perfor-
mance” is often caused by a weak AC
supply to the amplifiers.

Never remove the
ground pin on the power
cord of the FUSSION
1800SA or any other
component. This is very
dangerous.
