3 Setting Up and Connecting the
Column's Components
3.1 E-Connect
E-Connect is a fast, reliable and cordless way of linking the ELEMENTS'
passive components. This dual-purpose coupler provides physical and
audio links that connect the E 835 mid/high-units, the EP 1 / EP 2 speaker
extension pole and the EF 45 base.
3.2 Connecting the Column's Components
Line up the two components so that the pole end faces the sleeve. Insert
the pole end all the way into sleeve until the detent button snaps into
place, making sure you have a solid connection.
Push!
To disconnect and separate the units, press and hold the button on the
E-Connector to release the detent and then pull the two components apart.
Pull!
Heads up: Always set the system up on fl at, level and fi rm surfaces.

4 Setting Up

4.1 Vertical Alignment

What height is right?
Line array systems like ELEMENTS deliver a fairly narrow vertical output
pattern. This is why you want to aim the speakers so the center of the
column is roughly in line with the audience's heads.
Two speaker extension poles of diff erent lengths, the EP 1 and the EP 2, are
available to adjust the column's height.
Equipped with the cordless E-Connect bus/coupler, they provide a fast, easy
way of setting up smaller confi gurations and connecting mid/high units.
Consult the technical specifi cations to learn the exact measurements of the
two speaker extension poles.
Heads up: Never connect two speaker extension poles to each other!

4.2 Horizontal Alignment

A mid/high column's horizontal directivity is around 70°. Depending on
the application, you may want to turn the columns inwards towards the
audience area to direct the system's power where it is needed most.
70°
You'll get the best sound and coverage when all connected components
project at the same angle. The included locking wedges lets you lock down
the ELEMENTS mid/high-units so their aim remains true and they can't
drift to the left or right.
Push!
Insert the locking wedge into the slot until it clicks into place. Apply slight
pressure to the center panel to release and remove it.
