Introduction
Getting Started
The most widely used portable speakers ever;
the all-new SRM450 and SRM350 deliver the
unparalleled ease-of-use, professional sound quality
and indestructible portability that made SRM a live
sound legend. Now packed with 1000W of power, the
widest selection of truly useful sound-enhancing DSP
and setup-friendly audio tools, SRM is ready for your
high-output application.
The following steps will help you set up the
loudspeakers quickly.
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 SRM350v3 / SRM450v3 loudspeakers.
SRMs feature modern tools like application-specific
speaker modes and an automatic feedback destroyer,
each with a single-button interface that gets you
optimized performance in just seconds. And with
the integrated 2-channel mixer, you can easily mix
multiple sources.
3. Make sure that the loudspeaker’s gain knobs are set
to (or near) “line”.
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.
Only SRMs deliver this level of power and sound
quality in such an indestructible, portable package.
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 SRM350v3
and SRM450v3 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, SRMv3 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.

SRMv3 loudspeakers are the perfect tool for singer-songwriters touring the local coffee shops.
Bring your favorite axe and mic, SRMv3 loudspeakers and cables and power cords.
In this example, a dynamic microphone is connected to the channel 1 input of an SRM350v3
loudspeaker, used for monitoring purposes. 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 SRM450v3 loudspeaker will be used for the main PA. Simply connect a cable from the SRM350v3
loudspeaker’s THRU jack to the SRM450v3 loudspeaker’s channel 1 input [gain knob set to “line”].
Also, make sure the Ch 1/Mix switch is down on the main SRM350v3, as well, so a mix of the
vocals and guitar is relayed to the PA.
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 SRM450v3. 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 SRM350v3 monitor. Lastly, you can ring
out before you play, utilizing the SRMv3’s feedback destroyer [page 11] or just let it kill the feedback
while playing.

In this example, an SRM1850 subwoofer and additional SRM450v3 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. Set the gain to “U”.
The channel A and B high pass outputs of the SRM1850 subwoofer are connected directly to the channel
1 inputs of each SRM450v3 loudspeaker. Be sure that the gain knob on each is set to “line”. Select the
VAR high pass mode on the SRM1850 and turn the adjacent knob to120 Hz for a matched system.
SRMv3 loudspeakers are also perfect for use as stage monitors. Simply connect a cable from each aux
send to the channel 1 input of each SRMv3 loudspeaker used as a monitor. It’s a good idea to use the
Feedback Destroyer here.
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 SRMv3 loudspeakers.
If using any SRMv3 loudspeakers as monitors, select the monitor speaker mode.

SRMv3 loudspeakers may be daisy-chained via the male XLR connector labeled “THRU”. Simply plug the
signal source (i.e., mixer output) into the input jack(s), and patch that loudspeaker’s THRU jack to the
next loudspeaker’s input jack, and so on, daisy-chaining multiple SRMv3 loudspeakers. Make sure that
the Ch 1 / Mix button is OUT [Ch 1]. See above for visual representations of daisy-chaining.

Here’s how to set up a large club system. In this example, the L/R outputs of a DL1608 mixer are
connected directly to the channel A inputs of two SRM1850 subwoofers. The channel A full range
outputs of these two SRM1850 subwoofers are connected directly to the channel A inputs of another
set of SRM1850 subwoofers. Talk about beefy low end...and we’ve only connected the subs!
The channel A high pass outputs of the last two SRM1850 subwoofers are connected directly to the
channel 1 inputs of the main pair of SRM450v3 loudspeakers. Be sure that the gain knob on each
is set to “line”. Select the VAR high pass mode on the SRM1850 and turn the adjacent knob to120 Hz
for a matched system.
SRMv3 loudspeakers are also perfect for using as stage monitors. Simply connect a cable from an aux
send to the channel 1 input of an SRM350v3 loudspeaker. Here you will want to set a speaker mode,
described in detail on page 11. Since these are monitors, select the appropriately named monitor
speaker mode.
Select PA speaker mode for the main loudspeakers. You may also turn the feedback eliminator ON
on all four SRMv3 loudspeakers, if desired.

As a general guide, SRMv3 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.

4. Gain Knobs
The gain knobs adjust the input sensitivity of the
mic, line and/or RCA inputs. This allows signals from
the outside world to be adjusted to run through each
channel at optimal internal operating levels.
6. Thru Output
This is a male XLR-type connector that produces
exactly the same signal that is connected to the
main input jack or a mix of channels 1 and 2. Use it to
daisy-chain several SRM loudspeakers together off
the same signal source(s).
There is – dB of gain with the knob fully down
(off), ramping up to 50 dB of gain fully up (max).
The accompanying LED will illuminate green when
the channel’s input signal is present, indicating signal.
It will remain lit so long as there is signal above
–20 dBu present in that channel.
They are wired as follows, according to standards
specified by the AES (Audio Engineering Society):

The accompanying LED will illuminate red when the
amplifier in the SRMv3 loudspeaker is near the clipping
point. It is okay if this LED blinks occasionally, because
this means that the transient peaks are just reaching
the maximum output of the amplifiers and you are
getting the most out of your loudspeaker.

10. Main LED Switch / Limit LED
Here you are able to change the loudspeaker’s
speaker mode to tailor it to best suit your particular
application. There are four modes: PA, DJ, Monitor and
Soloist. Press the speaker mode button repeatedly until
the LED of the speaker mode you desire is illuminated.
Refer to the Frequency Response graphs on page 21
for further information.
The LED on the front of the SRMv3 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 front panel
LED to illuminate.
SRMv3 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.
PA Speaker Mode – This mode is full range, but
focuses on mid-range clarity where vocals often reside.
This is the place to start for most sound reinforcement
applications.
DJ Speaker Mode – This mode bumps the lows and
highs with a mild tuck to the mids, perfect for music
playback.
Excessive limiting may lead to
overheating, which in turn trips the
thermal protect circuitry and interrupts
the performance. See ‘Thermal Protection’ on
page 12 for more information.
MON(itor) Speaker Mode – This mode features a
low frequency roll-off and a reduction around 2 kHz to
ensure maximum gain before feedback in monitor
applications.
SOLO(ist) Speaker Mode – This mode features
a low frequency roll-off to get rid of unwanted thumps
and adds boost and sparkle to mid-range and high
frequencies. This plug-and-play mode is perfect for
singer-songwriters.
11. Breakfast Mode
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Here you are able to order your favorite breakfast
food and drink. Press the breakfast mode buttons
repeatedly until the LEDs of the food and drink you
desire are illuminated. This mode is only available
between 6 am and 11 am at participating SRMv3
loudspeakers.
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.
The integrated and amazingly accurate Feedback
Destroyer instantly employs up to four incredibly
narrow 1/16th octave filters to locate and eradicate
feedback so you know you can perform fearlessly.
Plus, the entire system is protected by our Smart
Protect™ DSP which kicks in to protect your
investment when things get pushed a little too hard.

Owner’s Manual

Smart Protect
There are advanced DSP protection mechanisms
designed into the SRM350v3 and SRM450v3
to safeguard the loudspeakers and amplifiers
from inadvertent damage.
AC Power
Be sure the SRMv3 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
Each 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 SRMv3
loudspeaker. This is very dangerous.
Overexcursion Protection
An 18 dB/octave high-pass filter just prior to the
low-frequency amplifier 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
SRMv3 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. SRMv3 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 SRMv3 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
SRMv3 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.
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.
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
SRMv3 loudspeakers are designed to sit on the floor
or stage as the main PA or as monitors. 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 loudspeaker; the interference between the two cabinets

option when using a subwoofer.
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.
These loudspeakers may also be flown via their
integrated fly points as detailed on page 15. Be sure
to read the PA-A1 Eyebolt Installation Instructions,
as well.
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,
this will cause comb-filtering effects in the frequency
response in the overlapping area. The smaller the splay
angle, the more energy will be delivered on-axis, but the
comb-filtering effects will get worse at the same time.
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 pole-mounting loudspeakers, be sure that they
are stabilized and secured from falling over or being
accidentally pushed over. 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 balance for your application.
As with any powered components, protect them from
moisture. Avoid installing the loudspeaker in places
exposed to harsh weather conditions. If you are setting
them up outdoors, make sure they are under cover if you
expect rain.

Room Acoustics
SRMv3 loudspeakers are designed to sound fantastic
in nearly every application.
•
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.
But, room acoustics play a crucial role in the overall
performance of a sound system. However, the wide
high-frequency dispersion of the SRMv3 loudspeakers
helps to minimize the problems that typically arise.
Top
•
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.
0
90

90 Dispersion
up to 20 kHz
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.
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.
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.)
•
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.
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
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.
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: The cabinet is suitable for rigging
via its fly points. NEVER attempt to suspend
an SRMv3 loudspeaker by its handle.
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.
Rigging Design Practices
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.
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.
2. The design factor and required WLL (Working Load
Limit) for this support.
We strongly recommend the following rigging practices:
SRMv3 loudspeakers may be individually flown
using a PA-A1 Eyebolt Kit, part number
0031943. SRM350v3 cabinets are fitted
1. Documentation: Thoroughly document the design
with detailed drawings and parts lists.
with four M5 insert points on the top and bottom for
installing an optional hanging bracket that allows the
speaker to be flown. SRM350v3 Bracket Kit: PN 0016404
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.
Rigging Notes
4. Safety: Use adequate safety precautions and
back-up systems.
The SRMv3 loudspeaker’s integral mounting points
are designed to support only the weight of their own
loudspeaker with suitable, external hardware. This
means that each SRMv3 loudspeaker must be supported
independently of any other SRMv3 loudspeaker and any
other loads. All rigging points must be used to hang an
SRMv3 loudspeaker.

Appendix A: Service Information
If you think the SRMv3 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 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.
• Is the input connector plugged completely into
the jack? Be sure all connections are secure.
Noise
Troubleshooting
• 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.
• 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.
No power
• Our favorite question: Is it plugged in? Make sure
the AC outlet is live [check with a tester or lamp].
• Our next favorite question: Is the power switch
on? If not, try turning it on.
• Is the LED on the front panel illuminated?
If not, make sure the AC outlet is live.
If so, refer to “No sound” below.
• 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.
• 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.
No sound
Hum
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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
SRMv3 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.
Repair
• Has it shut down? Make sure there is at least
six inches of free space behind each SRMv3
loudspeaker.
For warranty service, refer to the warranty
information on page 23.
Non-warranty service is available at a factory-
authorized service center. To locate the nearest
Tech Support” and select “Locate a Service Center
or Distributor” [3]. Service for SRMv3 loudspeakers
living outside the United States can be obtained
through local dealers or distributors.
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 12 for further details.
If you do not have access to our website, you may call
the Tech Support department at 1-800-898-3211,
Monday-Friday, during normal business hours, Pacific
Time, to explain the problem. Tech Support will tell you
where the nearest factory-authorized service center is
located in your area.
