For optimum 5.1 listening, place loudspeakers equi- distant (1–3 meters) from the listening position. • Mounts on walls or ceilings • Suspends from “C” or “G” hanging clamps with standard 1/2-inch or 12 mm bolts • Mounts on 1 3/8-inch poles • Three loudspeaker attachment points included for variable distances from mounting surfaces and poles For optimum listening, place tweeter at ear level. For loudspeakers mounted above head, aim cabinets toward the listening position.

Insert the cable and rotate it clockwise until it clicks locked. Two AC power cables are included, one for U.S. and one for E.U. 2 Plug the other end of the AC power cable into an AC power source. Amie accepts 100–240 V AC at 50–60 Hz, allowing it to be used worldwide. audio input The XLR 3-pin female audio Input connector accepts balanced audio signals with an input impedance of 10 kOhm. Use balanced XLR audio cables with pins 1–3 connected on both ends. Telescopic grounding is not recommended, and shorting the Input connector pin to the case may cause a ground loop, resulting in hum. contacting meyer sound Meyer Sound Technical Support is available at: • Tel: +1 510 486.1166 • Tel: +1 510 486.0657 (after hours support) • Web: www.meyersound.com/support • Email: [email protected] The contents of this guide are furnished for informational purposes only, are subject to change without notice, and should not be construed as a commitment by Meyer Sound Laboratories Inc.

If the LED remains solid red, reduce the source audio. • The HF LED indicates limiting for the high-frequency driver. • The LF LED indicates limiting for the low-frequency driver. • Limit LEDs flash yellow when nearing limiting and turn solid yellow when limiting is engaged, resulting in reduced gain. When encountering limiting, reduce the source audio. wiring balanced audio cables When wiring balanced audio cables, use the following wiring scheme: • Pin 1 — 1 kOhm to chassis and earth ground (ESD clamped) • Pin 2 — Signal (+) • Pin 3 — Signal (–) • Case — Earth (AC) ground and chassis powering multiple loudspeakers To power up to seven Amies from a single AC power source (15 A), connect the gray AC Loop Output of the first loudspeaker to the blue AC Input of the second loudspeaker, and so forth. Amie ships with a gray powerCON 20 cablemount connector for assembling AC looping cables. 14 AWG wire is recommended for 15 A circuit breakers. Assembled AC looping cables are also available from Meyer Sound. TIP: If you encounter noise or hiss, discon- nect the audio cable from the loudspeaker. If the noise stops, there is likely nothing wrong with the loudspeaker. To locate the source of the noise, check the audio cable, source audio, and AC power. meyer sound laboratories inc. 2832 San Pablo Avenue Berkeley, CA 94702 +1 510 486.1166 www.meyersound.com amie quick start guide PN 05.249.002.01 A Copyright © 2015 Meyer Sound Laboratories, Inc.
