Introduction  
Getting Started  
SRM 1600W High-Definition Powered  
The following steps will help you set up the  
loudspeakers quickly.  
Loudspeakers deliver a new level of SRM ruggedness,  
clarity and simplicity with unmatched bass response.  
Huge system power is paired with custom transducers  
within professional-grade, internally-braced all-wood  
cabinets that are “Built-Like-A-Tank”.  
1. Make all initial connections with the power  
switches OFF on all equipment. Make sure the master  
volume, level, or gain controls are all the way down.  
2. Connect the line-level outputs from the mixing  
console (or other signal source) to the inputs on the  
rear panel of the SRM loudspeakers.  
These SRM loudspeakers feature our High Definition  
Audio Processing, including patented acoustic  
correction DSP, plus system optimization tools like  
application-specific speaker modes and an amazingly  
accurate feedback destroyer.  
3. Make sure that the loudspeaker’s gain knobs are set  
to (or near) “line”.  
Ready for anything, the integrated 2-channel mixer  
with Wide-Zinputs can handle any signal with ease.  
These SRM loudspeakers deliver the high output,  
amazing sound and proven durability you demand  
for your professional PA system.  
4. Connect the supplied AC power cords to the  
IEC sockets on the rear panel of each loudspeaker.  
Plug the other end into an AC outlet properly configured  
with the correct voltage as indicated below the IEC  
socket.  
5. Turn the mixer (or other signal source) on.  
6. Turn the loudspeakers on.  
How to Use This Manual:  
7. Start the signal source and raise the mixer’s  
main L/R fader up until audio may be heard  
through the loudspeakers.  
After this introduction, a getting started guide  
will help you get things set up fast. The hookup  
diagrams show some typical setups, while the  
remaining sections provide details of the SRM550,  
SRM650 and SRM750 loudspeakers.  
8. Adjust the master volume of the mixer to a  
comfortably loud listening level.  
9. Read the rest of this manual to learn how to set the  
speaker mode and feedback destroyer to really dial in a  
sound for the venue.  
This icon marks information that is critically  
important or unique to the loudspeakers.  
For your own good, read and remember them.  
Things to Remember:  
• Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods.  
Please see the Safety Instructions on page 2 for  
information on hearing protection.  
• As a general guide, SRM loudspeakers should  
be turned on last, after any mixer or other signal  
source. As such, they should also be turned off  
first. This will reduce the possibility of any turn-on  
or turn-off thumps and other noises generated  
by any upstream equipment from coming out of  
the speakers.  
Please write your serial number here for future  
reference (i.e., insurance claims, tech support,  
return authorization, make dad proud, etc.)  
Purchased at:  
• Save the shipping boxes and packing materials!  
You may need them someday. Besides, the  
cats will love playing in them and jumping out at  
you unexpectedly. Remember to pretend like you  
are surprised!  
Date of purchase:  
• Save your sales receipt in a safe place.

SRM loudspeakers are the perfect tool for singer-songwriters touring the local coffee shops. Bring your  
favorite axe and mic, SRM loudspeakers and cables and power cords.  
In this example, a dynamic microphone is connected to the channel 1 input of an SRM650 loudspeaker.  
Be sure that the gain knob is set to “mic” in order to get an extra boost for the mic. If anything other than  
a microphone is attached to a channel input, make sure the gain knob is set to anything other than “mic”  
[“line” is a safe bet]. From there, adjust the gain as described on page 10.  
Now grab your axe and plug it directly into the channel 2 input. Or if you use effects, connect the guitar  
to the effects input and another cable from the effects output to the channel 2 input. Set the channel two  
gain knob to “line”.  
An additional SRM550 or SRM650 loudspeaker is great for monitoring. Simply connect a cable from  
the main SRM loudspeakers THRU jack to the monitor loudspeakers channel 1 input [gain knob set to  
“line”]. Also, make sure the Ch 1/Mix switch is down on the main SRM, as well, so a mix of  
the vocals and guitar is relayed to the monitor.  
For the output, you will want to set a speaker mode, described in detail on page 11. For this type  
of setup, PA works well for the main SRM650. However, don’t count out the soloist mode! It has a  
nice low cut and a brilliant high end. Select the monitor mode for the SRM550 monitor. Lastly, you  
can ring out before you play, utilizing the SRMs feedback destroyer [page 11] or just let it kill the  
feedback while playing.

In this example, an SRM1850 subwoofer and additional SRM650 loudspeaker have been added to the  
mix, giving our sound system some extra beef. It is a perfect setup for a small club.  
Here, the L/R outputs of a ProFX8 mixer are connected directly to the channel A and B inputs of a single  
SRM1850 subwoofer.  
The channel A and B high pass outputs of the SRM1850 subwoofer are connected directly to the channel  
1 inputs of each SRM650 loudspeaker. Be sure that the gain knob on each is set to “line” or get ready to  
be blasted! Select the SRM650 high pass mode on the SRM1850 for a matched system.  
SRM loudspeakers are also perfect for use as stage monitors. Simply connect a cable from each aux send  
to the channel 1 input of each SRM loudspeaker used as a monitor.  
For the output, you will want to set a speaker mode, described in detail on page 11. For this type of  
setup, we recommend selecting the PA speaker mode for live sound on your SRM loudspeakers. If using  
any SRM loudspeakers as monitors, select the monitor speaker mode.

Feel the awesome power! In this example, a pair of SRM2850 subwoofers line each side of the venue...  
four subs total! The top sub on each side is connected to an SRM750 loudspeaker. This fully powered PA  
is desired when you really need a slammin’ system with deep, commanding lows and nice, crisp highs.  
Here, the L/R outputs of a DL1608 mixer are connected directly to the channel A input of each  
bottom SRM2850 subwoofer. The channel A full range output of each (bottom) SRM2850 subwoofer  
is connected directly to the channel 1 input of each (top) SRM2850 subwoofer.  
From here, the channel A high pass output of each (top) SRM2850 subwoofer is connected directly to the  
channel 1 input of each SRM750 loudspeaker. Be sure that the gain knob on each is set to “line” or get  
ready to be blasted! Select the SRM750 high pass mode on the SRM2850 for a matched system.  
***Please note that the SRM750 loudspeakers are stacked on top of the SRM2850 subwoofers, not  
pole-mounted. SRM750s may be pole-mounted on a tripod stand, but must be stacked on subwoofers.

As a general guide, SRM loudspeakers should  
be turned on last, after any mixer or other  
signal source. As such, they should also be  
turned off first. This will reduce the possibility of any  
turn-on or turn-off thumps and other noises generated  
by any upstream equipment from coming out of the  
speakers.  
3.XLR and 1/4" Combo Inputs  
Both channels feature 1/4" Wide-Zinputs with  
combo jacks that may accept balanced/unbalanced XLR  
and 1/4" connections. The gain range of the Wide-Z  
inputs may handle anything from an instrument level to  
a high-output mic signal. Simply connect an XLR, TRS  
or TS connector into the channel and adjust the gain  
accordingly.  
11  
Please be aware of the position of the gain  
knob [4].  
NEVER connect the output of an amplifier  
directly to the input of the loudspeaker.  
This could damage the input circuitry  
of the active loudspeaker.

7. Ch 1/Mix Switch [Thru Output]  
This switch allows you to choose whether only  
the channel 1 signal (pre-gain) is sent out to the  
next loudspeaker [switch out – Ch 1] or if a mix  
of the channel 1 and 2 signals are sent out to the  
next loudspeaker [switch in – Mix] (post-gains).  
9. Feedback desTROYer:  
The multi-band feedback destroyer hunts down  
offending feedback frequencies and applies up to four  
notch filters automatically to destroy feedback and  
maximize gain prior to feedback. This is a great tool  
for performers without a dedicated engineer.  
8. Speaker Mode  
Here you are able to change the loudspeaker’s  
speaker mode to tailor it to best suit your particular  
application. There are four modes available: PA, DJ,  
Monitor and Soloist with each SRM550 and SRM650  
and PA, DJ, Fill and Speech with each SRM750.  
Press the speaker mode button repeatedly until the  
LED of the speaker mode you desire is illuminated.

SRM Loudspeaker: Rear Panel Features continued...  
Stadium – If the audience consists of the bartender,  
10. Main Logo Switch / Limit LED  
wait staff and significant others, engage this switch.  
In between songs it will sound like a stadium filled  
with adoring fans near and wide, not crickets.  
The Running Man logo on the front of the SRM  
loudspeaker illuminates when this switch is disengaged  
and AC power is available at the mains input [1].  
Engage the switch if you do not want the Running  
Man logo to illuminate.  
Even with all that, we’re still trying to figure out  
what else our crazy engineers packed into these things!  
The manual will be revised once we’ve discovered  
what the other knobs, buttons and LEDs do.  
SRM loudspeakers have a built-in limiter that  
helps to prevent the amplifier outputs from clipping  
or overdriving the transducers. The limit indicator  
illuminates yellow when the limiter is activated.  
It’s okay for it to blink yellow occasionally, but if  
it blinks frequently or lights continuously, turn down  
the gain knob [4] until it only blinks occasionally.  
Until then, appreciate the joy of new discoveries!  
Excessive limiting may lead to  
overheating, which in turn trips the  
thermal protect circuitry and interrupts  
the performance. See ‘Thermal Protection’ on  
page 13 for more information.  
11. Extra Knobs, Buttons and LEDs  
What’s cooler than extra bells and whistles on  
a new toy? Well, a lot of things, I suppose, but that  
didn’t stop us! The rear panel of each SRM loudspeaker  
is stacked with a variety of extra knobs, buttons and  
LEDs. The following is a list of just some of the features  
and functions of each (in alphabetical order):  
11  
Beer Tap – What good is a live show without a pint or  
two...or more? Simply push and hold in the momentary  
switch until your pint glass is filled.  
Liquor Tap – Not everyone is a beer drinker. That’s  
why we installed the handy-dandy liquor tap, as well.  
Modem – Are you old enough to remember the sound  
of a modem? Press this switch once to have that sound  
pour out the speakers. Press this switch twice if you  
would rather hear the joyful sounds of a dot-matrix  
printer instead.  
12. Rock ‘n Roll  
Congratulations, you have reached the end  
of the features section! At this point, you should  
have a pretty good understanding of how the SRM  
loudspeakers function. If this is true, the next step is  
to rock ‘n roll! If this is not true, head back to page 9  
and read it all over again. The following pages  
discuss SRM loudspeaker placement, room acoustics,  
an in-depth look at rigging and Smart Protect, technical  
information and more. Check it out!  
My Favorite Band – Press the my favorite band  
button repeatedly until your favorite band is displayed  
on the silkscreen. Whatever song(s) you play through  
these loudspeakers will sound like the band you  
selected!  
Sports – Music and sports demand two completely  
different sets of sounds. If used as a sports PA, set the  
switch to sports.

Smart Protect  
AC Power  
There are advanced DSP protection mechanisms  
designed to safeguard the loudspeakers and amplifiers  
from inadvertent damage.  
Be sure the SRM loudspeaker is plugged into an  
outlet that is able to supply the correct voltage specified  
for your model. It will continue to operate at lower  
voltages, but will not reach full power.  
The protection circuits are designed to  
protect the loudspeakers under reasonable  
and sensible conditions. Should you choose  
to ignore the warning signs [e.g. excessive distortion],  
you can still damage the speaker by overdriving it past  
the point of amplifier clipping. Such damage is beyond  
the scope of the warranty.  
Be sure the electrical service can supply enough  
amperage for all the components connected to it.  
We recommend that a stiff (robust) supply of AC  
power be used because the amplifiers place high  
current demands on the AC line. The more power that is  
available on the line, the louder the speakers will play  
and the more peak output power will be available for a  
cleaner, punchier bass. A suspected problem of “poor  
bass performance” is often caused by a weak AC supply  
to the amplifiers.  
Limiting  
The driver has its own compression circuit which  
helps protect it from damaging transient peaks.  
The compressor is designed to be transparent and  
is not noticeable under normal operating conditions.  
Never remove the ground pin on the power  
cord or any other component of the SRM  
loudspeaker. This is very dangerous.  
Overexcursion Protection  
The SRM550 and SRM650 use an 18 dB/octave high-  
pass filter, while the SRM750 uses an 24 dB/octave But-  
terworth high-pass filter just prior to the low-frequency  
amplifier. This prevents very low frequencies from being  
amplified. Excessive low-frequency energy can damage  
the woofer by causing it to “bottom out,” also know as  
overexcursion, which is equivalent to a mechanical form  
of clipping.  
Care and Maintenance  
These loudspeakers will provide many years  
of reliable service if you follow these guidelines:  
Avoid exposing the loudspeakers to moisture.  
If they are set up outdoors, be sure they are  
under cover if rain is expected.  
Thermal Protection  
Avoid exposure to extreme cold (below  
freezing temperatures). If you must operate  
the loudspeakers in a cold environment, warm  
up the voice coils slowly by sending a low-level  
signal through them for about 15 minutes prior  
to high-power operation.  
All amplifiers produce heat. SRM loudspeakers are  
designed to be efficient both electrically and thermally.  
In the unlikely event of the amplifier overheating,  
a built-in thermal switch will activate, muting the  
signal.  
Use a dry cloth to clean the cabinets. Only do  
this when the power is turned off. Avoid getting  
moisture into any of the openings of the  
cabinet, particularly where the drivers are  
located.  
When the amplifier has cooled down to a safe  
operating temperature, the thermal switch resets itself,  
and the SRM loudspeaker resumes normal operation.  
If the thermal switch activates, try turning down the  
level control a notch or two on the mixing console (or  
the back of the loudspeaker) to avoid overheating the  
amplifier. Be aware that direct sunlight and/or hot stage  
lights may be the culprit of an amplifier overheating.

Placement  
WARNING: Installation should only be done  
These loudspeakers may also be flown via its fly  
points as detailed on pages 16–17. Be sure to read the  
PA-A2 Eyebolt Installation Instructions, as well.  
by an experienced technician. Improper  
installation may result in damage to the  
equipment, injury or death. Make sure that the  
loudspeaker is installed in a stable and secure way  
in order to avoid any conditions that may be dangerous  
for persons or structures.  
These loudspeakers are NOT designed to array  
horizontally. If you feel you must put two speakers  
side-by-side, you should have a good understanding  
of the relationship between the splay angle (the angle  
between the facing sides of the cabinets) and frequency  
cancellation effects between cabinets.  
These loudspeakers are designed to sit on the  
floor or stage as the main PA, monitors [SRM550 /  
SRM650], or fill speakers [SRM750]. Check to make  
sure that the support surface (e.g. floor, etc.) has the  
necessary mechanical characteristics to support the  
weight of the loudspeaker(s).  
When two cabinets are positioned side-by-side  
such that the rear-angled faces of the enclosures  
are parallel, the splay angle will be 90º. This matches  
the 90˚ horizontal coverage pattern of each individual  
loudspeaker; the interference between the two cabinets  
will be minimized, but the total coverage of 180˚ may  
be too wide for some applications. The mid and high  
frequencies may also be reduced for those in the center  
who are too close to the loudspeakers.  
They may also be pole-mounted via the built-in  
socket on the bottom of the cabinet. Be sure the pole  
is capable of supporting the weight of the loudspeaker.  
When pole-mounting loudspeakers, be sure that they  
are stabilized and secured from falling over or being  
accidentally pushed over.  
Reducing the splay angle will reduce the total  
horizontal coverage, but it also creates an area both  
speakers are covering. Instead of a nearfield hole,  
The SPM200 is a great option when using an  
SRM subwoofer, as it allows for greater extension  
than most other poles available north of the South Pole. this will cause comb-filtering effects in the frequency  
response in the overlapping area. The smaller the splay  
Please note that SRM750 loudspeakers  
angle, the more energy will be delivered on-axis, but the  
should not be pole-mounted via SPM200.  
comb-filtering effects will get worse at the same time.  
Instead, it should be stacked on top of the  
subwoofer. It is highly suggested that straps are utilized.  
To reiterate, failure to follow these precautions may  
result in damage to the equipment, personal injury,  
or death.  
To reiterate, though, we strongly suggest  
NOT arraying these loudspeakers horizontally.  
Experimentation and experience will help you find  
the right trade-off for your application.

Room Acoustics  
SRM loudspeakers are designed to sound fantastic  
in nearly every application.  
Highly reverberant rooms, like many  
gymnasiums and auditoriums, are a  
nightmare for sound system intelligibility.  
Multiple reflections off the hard walls, ceiling,  
and floor play havoc with the sound. Depending  
on the situation, you may be able to take some  
steps to minimize the reflections, such as  
putting carpeting on the floors, closing  
draperies to cover large glass windows, or  
hanging tapestries or other materials on the  
walls to absorb some of the sound.  
But, room acoustics play a crucial role in the overall  
performance of a sound system. Here are some  
additional placement tips to help overcome some  
typical room problems that might arise:  
Placing loudspeakers in the corners of a room  
increases the low frequency output and can  
cause the sound to be muddy and indistinct.  
Placing loudspeakers against a wall increases  
the low frequency output, though not as much  
as corner placement. However, this is a good  
way to reinforce the low frequencies, if so  
desired.  
However, in most cases, these remedies are not  
possible or practical. So what do you do?  
Making the sound system louder generally  
doesn’t work because the reflections become  
louder, too. The best approach is to provide as  
much direct sound coverage to the audience  
as possible. The farther away you are from  
the speaker, the more prominent will be the  
reflected sound.  
Avoid placing the speakers directly on a  
hollow stage floor. A hollow stage can resonate  
at certain frequencies, causing peaks and dips  
in the frequency response of the room. It is  
better to place them on a sturdy stand designed  
to handle the weight of the loudspeaker.  
Use more speakers strategically placed so they  
are closer to the back of the audience. If the  
distance between the front and back speakers  
is more than about 100 feet, you should use a  
delay processor to time-align the sound. (Since  
sound travels about 1 foot per millisecond, it  
takes about 1/10 of a second to travel 100 feet.)  
Position the loudspeakers so the high-  
frequency drivers are two to four feet above  
ear level for the audience (making allowances  
for an audience that may be standing/dancing  
in the aisles). High frequencies are highly  
directional and tend to be absorbed much  
easier than lower frequencies. By providing  
direct line-of-sight from the loudspeakers  
to the audience, you increase the overall  
brightness and intelligibility of the sound  
system.  
Keep in mind that the speaker mode and feedback  
destroyer are two great ways to compensate for some of  
these issues. See page 11 for more information [8, 9].

Rigging Hardware and Accessories  
Rigging  
Rigging our loudspeakers will invariably require  
hardware not supplied by us. Various types of  
SRM loudspeakers may be individually flown  
using a PA-A2 Eyebolt Kit, part number 0028272  
[M10 x 1.5 x 37 mm forged shoulder eyebolts].  
load-rated hardware are available from a variety  
of third-party sources. There are a number of such  
companies specializing in manufacturing hardware  
for, designing, and installing rigging systems. Each  
one of these tasks is a discipline in its own right.  
Because of the hazardous nature of rigging work  
and the potential liability, engage companies that  
specialize in these disciplines to do the work required.  
WARNING: Installation should only be done  
by an experienced technician. Improper  
installation may result in damage to the  
equipment, injury or death. Make sure that the  
loudspeaker is installed in a stable and secure way  
in order to avoid any conditions that may be dangerous  
for persons or structures.  
We do offer certain accessory rigging items and some  
of them may be used with a variety of products. While  
these accessories are intended to facilitate installation,  
the wide variety of possible installation conditions and  
array configurations do not permit us to determine their  
suitability or load rating for any particular application.  
WARNING: The cabinet is suitable for rigging  
via its fly points. NEVER attempt to suspend  
an SRM loudspeaker by its handle.  
Rigging Design Practices  
We are not in the business of providing complete  
rigging systems, either as designers, manufacturers,  
or installers. It is the responsibility of the installer to  
provide a properly engineered, load-certified rigging  
system for supporting the loudspeaker from structure.  
Rigging a loudspeaker requires determining:  
1. The rigging methods and hardware that meet static,  
shock, dynamic, and any other load requirements for  
supporting the loudspeaker from structure.  
2. The design factor and required WLL (Working Load  
Limit) for this support.  
Rigging Notes  
We strongly recommend the following rigging practices:  
The SRM loudspeaker’s integral mounting points  
are designed to support only the weight of their own  
loudspeaker with suitable, external hardware. This  
means that each SRM loudspeaker must be supported  
independently of any other SRM loudspeaker and any  
other loads. At least three rigging points must be used  
to hang an SRM loudspeaker.  
1. Documentation: Thoroughly document the design  
with detailed drawings and parts lists.  
2. Analysis: Have a qualified professional, such as a  
licensed Professional Engineer, review and approve the  
design before its implementation.  
3. Installation: Have a qualified professional rigger do  
the installation and inspection.  
4. Safety: Use adequate safety precautions and  
back-up systems.

Appendix A: Service Information  
If you think the SRM loudspeaker has a problem,  
please check out the following troubleshooting tips and  
do your best to confirm the problem. Visit the Support  
will find lots of useful information such as FAQs and  
other documentation. You may find the answer to the  
problem without having to part with your loudspeaker.  
Poor bass performance  
• Check the polarity of the connections between the  
mixer and the loudspeakers. You may have your  
positive and negative connections reversed at one  
end of one cable, causing one loudspeaker to be  
out-of-phase with the other.  
• Poor bass performance may be the result of bad  
AC power. See the section titled ‘AC Power’ on  
page 13 for further details.  
Troubleshooting  
No power  
• Our favorite question: Is it plugged in? Make sure  
the AC outlet is live [check with a tester or lamp].  
Poor sound  
• Is it loud and distorted? Make sure that you’re not  
overdriving a stage in the signal chain. Verify that  
all level controls are set properly.  
• Our next favorite question: Is the power switch  
on? If not, try turning it on.  
• Is the Running Man logo on the front panel  
illuminated? If not, make sure the AC outlet  
is live. If so, refer to “No sound” below.  
• Is the input connector plugged completely into  
the jack? Be sure all connections are secure.  
• The internal AC line fuse may be blown. This is  
not a user serviceable part. If you suspect the  
AC line fuse is blown, please see the "Repair"  
section next.  
Noise  
• What is the position of the gain knob? It should  
be at (or near) “mic” when a mic is connected  
and at (or near) “line” when a line-level signal  
is connected. It should be “off” for all unused  
inputs.  
No sound  
• Is the input gain knob for the input source  
turned all the way down? Verify that all the gain  
knobs in the system are properly adjusted. Look  
at the level meter to ensure that the mixer is  
receiving a signal.  
• Make sure all connections to the active  
loudspeakers are good and sound.  
• Make sure none of the signal cables are routed  
near AC cables, power transformers, or other  
EMI-inducing devices.  
• Is the signal source working? Make sure the  
connecting cables are in good repair and securely  
connected at both ends. Make sure the output  
level control on the mixing console is turned up  
sufficiently to drive the inputs of the speaker.  
• Is there a light dimmer or other SCR-based device  
on the same AC circuit as the SRM loudspeaker?  
Use an AC line filter or plug the loudspeaker into  
a different AC circuit.  
• Make sure the mixer does not have a mute on or a  
processor loop engaged. If you find something like  
this, make sure the level is turned down before  
disengaging the offending switch.  
• Has it shut down? Make sure there is at least  
six inches of free space behind each SRM  
loudspeaker.

Hum  
• Try disconnecting the cable connected to the main  
input jack. If the noise disappears, it could be  
a “ground loop,” rather than a problem with the  
SRM loudspeaker. Try some of the following  
troubleshooting ideas:  
• Use balanced connections throughout your system  
for the best noise rejection.  
• Whenever possible, plug all the audio equipment’s  
line cords into outlets which share a common  
ground. The distance between the outlets and the  
common ground should be as short as possible.
