SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. read all instructions carefully before using your isk speakers.
2. Keep this safety and instruction flier for future reference.
3. ensure you follow all instructions carefully.
4. When used in conjunction with Amplifiers or Powered Mixers
ensure you follow the correct procedures in the set up and turning
on and off of audio equipment. it is advisable, when an entire
sound system is set up, that the power amplifier or powered mixer
that you are using is turned on last (ie. that any source equipment,
such as guitars, tape decks, etcetera, are turned on first). After all
source equipment is turned on and have stabilized, ensure the
power amp or powered mixer's level control is set to a minimal
level and then activate, after which the level control can be set to
a reasonable level. this should be done in reverse when shutting
down: turn off the power amp or powered mixer first, then turn off
all other devices. However many professional amplifiers feature
delayed on/off circuits that can perform this automatically.
5. Warning – the isk speakers generate extremely high sound
pressure levels. ensure you take care in the placement and
operation to avoid exposure to extremely high sound levels, to
reduce to risk of causing permanent hearing damage.
6. Cables – Under no circumstances should you use shielded or
microphone cables for connecting speakers to amplifiers. These
cables are not heavy enough to be able to handle the amplifier
load and could cause irreversible damage to your system.
7. Mounting – the suspending, rigging and mounting of the isk
speakers can cause members of the public to be exposed to
serious health risk, as well as the possibility of death. if you
are NOT fully qualified and certified to mount these speakers
by relevant local, state, or national authorities, do not under
any circumstances try to rig, suspend or mount this system.
all relevant safety regulations must be followed. if you are not
completely qualified or do not know of said regulations, ensure
you consult qualified personnel for
8. servicing – Do not under any circumstances try to service this product by
yourself. if servicing is required, contact your local service center.
INTRODUCTION
the isk represents the best of Phonic's speaker revolution. the
isk's visually stunning vertical curvature enhances audio dispersion
and works with internal bracing to increase structural strength
and to minimize diffraction. Phonic's proprietary Wing-Guide™
horn, developed using computer-aided modeling, offers extremely
balanced sound projection and low distortion even at high volumes.
our development team also crafted 1.8'' pure titanium compression
tweeters and long-throw composite woofers to ensure the isk's
sound quality matches its stunning cosmetics. the durability of
the isk series is unmatched. the isk is protected by professional-
grade carpeting while the isk Deluxe is protected by multi-layer
scratchproof paint. the isk series is the most versatile in its class
with metal pole mounts, a 45° floor monitor position for two-way
models, and ergonomic handles. With an unsurpassed audio
response, sensational power handling, and fantastic flexibility, the
isk establishes a new benchmark.

Equalization
the isk speakers are design to perfectly reproduce all audio
signals as sent by your amplifier or powered mixer. As such, your
equalization efforts do not need to take speaker response into
account, rather your main concentration should be on the acoustics
of the venue. if equalization is applied, it should be done so with
the utmost of case. applying overly harsh equalization can be
detrimental to your overall sound.
Connection
the isk speakers are equipped with professional speakon
speaker connectors on the rear of the speaker. the input
connectors on each unit should be connected to an appropriate
output device such as a power amplifier or powered mixer. The
speakon connectors do not need to be soldered into place; rather
they are pushed into the socket and turned clockwise to lock. once
all equipment is turned off, twist the connector counter-clockwise
to disconnect. the output connector can be used to run two (or
more) speakers in parallel.

Impedances
With exception to the isk215 and isk18sB, the nominal
impedance of the iSK speakers is 8Ω. This means that a single iSK
speaker can be used with an amplifier channel that can run down
to 8Ω. Similarly, two speakers can be used with an amplifier that
can run at 4Ω per channel and four speakers can be used with an
amplifier that can run at impedances of 2Ω (check the amplifier's
recommended operation before doing so). the nominal impedance
of the isk215 and isk18sB is 4 ohms and thus a single unit can
be used with an amplifier that runs down to 4 ohms per channel.
Operation
When making a connection, be sure to turn off the amplifier that
you are connecting to. Use professional speakon connectors and
cables only. Once connections are made, turn the amplifier on
with all channels set to the zero position. Be sure not to drive the
amplifier to the point of overload or clipping for any length of time
as to ensure the integrity of the speaker's voice coil.
