7. ing the wiring is correct All that remains now is to connect the ve speaker lead to the ve terminal on the amplifier and the ve lead to the ve terminal on the amplifier If however the LF driver moves backwards the input connections need to be inverted If problems are encountered inspect the cable wiring in the first instance lt should also be noted that different amplifier manufacturers utilise different pin configurations and polarity conventions if you are using amplifiers from more than one manufacturer check the polarity at the amplifiers as well as the loudspeakers 5 Amplification amp Power Handling As with all professional loudspeaker systems the power handling is a function of voice coil thermal capacity Care should be taken to avoid running the amplifier into clip clipping is the end result of overdriving any amplifier Damage to the loudspeaker will be sustained if the amplifier is driven into clip for any extended period of time Headroom of at least 3dB should be allowed When evaluating an amplifier it is important to take into account its behaviour under low impedance load conditions A loudspeaker system is highly reactive and with transient signals it can reguire more current than the nominal impedance would indicate Generally a higher power amplifier running free from distortion will do less damage to the loudspeaker than a lower power amplifier continually clipping It is also worth remembering that a high powe
8. red amplifier running at less than 90 of output power generally sounds a lot better than a lower power amplifier running at 100 An amplifier with insufficient drive capability will not allow the full performance of the loudspeaker to be realised It is important when using different manufacturers amplifiers in a single installation that they have very closely matched gains the variation should be less than 0 5dB This precaution is important to the overall system balance when only a single active crossover is being used with multiple cabinets it is therefore recommended that the same amplifiers are used throughout 6 Crossovers The 115 is supplied as standard for passive operation via the internal crossover network If higher peak outputs are required then the 115 can be used in conjunction with the Tannoy TX2 controller crossover which provides high pass filtering and a degree of parametric egualisation see performance data section as well as a fixed crossover point for use with sub bass loudspeakers 7 Egualisation The 115 is designed to need no equalisation or correction to overcome system limitations As a result it will only need egualisation to compensate for difficult acoustic environments Excess egualisation can reduce system headroom and introduce phase distortion resulting in greater problems than it cures If egualisation is reguired then it should be applied gently and smoothly Violent egualisation will be detr
