STX 6600 Manual

The STX 6600 is a straight column
Line Array featuring six high power
6.5” custom designed neodymium
woofers and six advanced design
planar magnetic Ribbon drivers in a
coax configuration with a unique
waveguide for wide 110 degrees
horizontal coverage.
Ultra-fast transient response and
higher instantaneous peak level for
faithful signal reproduction and
improved dynamic range.
The highly controlled vertical
dispersion of the array and excellent
coupling of the ribbon drivers at high
frequency yields the ultimate hi fidelity
long throw system.
True line array performance provides
dramatically increased intelligibility in
highly reverberant spaces.
Single box construction with integrated
fly points and internal passive crossover
for lower cost installation.
Improved front to back SPL over the
entire audience area, typically +/- 2db

Introduction
Thank you for choosing Stix & Drums. When your speakers are installed and used properly, you can expect
exceptional aural performance and years of trouble free service. Please read this manual thoroughly prior to
installation.
Safety Responsibilities and Liability
Information in this guide is meant only for the purpose of using the AmbiSonic Systems supplied mounting
equipment. All other rigging and/or structure support including wall securing hardware is considered part of
the venue and/or end-user supplied equipment and is not addressed in this guide.
AmbiSonic Systems assumes that a working knowledge of accepted rigging practices and safety will be applied
to all rigging materials and practices employed. All rigging or wall mounting should be performed by a professional
installer or installation company and should follow all state and local building codes. All fasteners should be rated at
a minimum of 3-5 times the actual determined load. All walls are not created equal (drywall, masonry, wood, etc.)
In some instances it will be necessary to install “Backing” plates or other reinforcement to assure proper mounting.
Remember that the weakest component determines the safety of the entire rigging assembly. Prior to securing the
array, always inspect all hardware components for wear, deformations, corrosion and missing or damaged parts.
Also confirm that the venue attachment points are suitably load rated for the array. No information contained in
this guide is intended as a warranty on the part of AmbiSonic Systems.
Users assume all responsibility for the appropriate use of AmbiSonic Systems supplied rigging hardware and follow
at a minimum all applicable laws and regulations in force for each venue.
Anyone using this information assumes all liability arising from it’s use. Product abuse, use of the product not in
accordance with AmbiSonic Systems instructions or use in an application which the product has not been designed
for is not covered under any AmbiSonic Systems warranty nor is AmbiSonic Systems liable for any loss or damage.

Upper Bracket
Install the upper bracket to the STX6600 by first
removing the top rear M10 flathead screws from
the enclosure, then place the upper bracket in the
predetermined down angle position (see Fig.1),
insert the supplied M10 button head screws
through the appropriate hole in the bracket and
secure the screws.
Down-angle Adjustment
Upper holes labeled “BOX 2”
are for down-angle adjustment of
0 - 2.5 degrees for a column stack
of two (2) STX6600
Lower holes labeled “BOX 3”
are for down-angle adjustment of
0 - 2.5 degrees for a column stack
of three (3) STX6600

Lower Bracket
Install the bottom bracket to the STX6600 by
removing the bottom rear M10 flathead screws,
then place the bottom bracket in position as
shown, insert the supplied M10 button head
screws through the bracket and tighten.
If the column will have any down angle, the
screws should not be tightened completely
as they are the pivot point for rotation.
Once the column has been mounted and
adjusted for angle, you can then tighten
the pivot screws.
