The TL606DW can also be successfully oper- ated away from any nearby acoustic bound- aries, particularly when multiple systems are used for increased output ability (see Use in Multiples section).
SUSPENDING TL606DW ENCLOSURES The TL606DW is designed for typical cinema stage (behind-the-screen) applications where low-frequency systems are mounted on plat- forms, behind the screen and some distance above the stage floor. The TL606DW is not designed to be self-suspended, and if sus- pended, must be supported and hung in a way which does not depand on the struc- ture of the TL606DW itself for support.
The HS6 and HS7 kits allow the TL606DW to be hung safely in a variety of orientations. The combination of the correct HS kits and TL606DW enclosure has been certified by an indepen- dent structural engineer to be safe and secure. Each HS kit consists of a steel tube, two brackets, two eyebolts and the necessary fas- teners. The installer must assemble the HS kit by first drilling two holes into the TL606DW enclosure, in predefined positions, and then screwing the brackets onto the steel tube, which passes through the enclosure. An eye- bolt is inserted in the T-nut in the rear panel of the enclosure to provide a “pull up” to aim the enclosure. Full instructions and hole locations are included with each cabinet and HS kit. A TL606DW requires a single HS6 to suspend it horizontally, or a single HS7 to suspend it vertically. Electro-Voice recommends that only one TL606DW be suspended at one time in this manner. Vertical is defined as having the long side vertical. Full attention must be given to the instructions and limitations in the HS kit instruction sheet.
ACCESSORIES FOR SPECIAL SYSTEMS The TL606DW was designed to be used with Electro-Voice TransPlanarTM horns, DH series compression drivers and accessories to form passive, 500 Hz crossover systems that may be easily and quickly assembled and installed.
A500-Hz passive crossover, the XEQ-504, directly replaces the TL606DW’s input panel. Mounting kits, the HMK-1 and HMK-2, provide the necessary hardware and accessories to mount the HP940/DH1A and HP9040/DH1A horn/driver combinations, respectively, to the TL606DW box. Steel threaded inserts are pro- vided on the top panel of the box to accommo-
date mounting kits for both horn combinations.
ARCHITECTS’ AND ENGINEERS’ SPECIFICATIONS
The loudspeaker system shall consist of two 380-mm (15-in.) very-low-frequency reproduc- ers installed in a vented enclosure. The frame of the reproducer shall be manufactured of cast aluminum, and its magnetic assembly shall utilize a ferrite magnet. In addition, an alumi- num ring encircling both the voice coil and pole piece shall act to reduce flux modulation. A second aluminum ring mounted to the top of the pole piece shall act as a control on drive inductance and provide a heat-transfer path from the top of the voice coil. The inner surface of the top plate shall be coated with PROTEFTM,
aTeflon®-based coating used for prevention of damage to the voice coil.1
Performance specifications of a typical produc- tion unit shall be as follows: measured sensitiv- ity (SPL at 1 m on axis with 1 W input, swept 100-800 Hz) shall be at least 100 dB SPL; usable frequency range shall extend from 30 Hz to 3,500 Hz; nominal impedance shall be 4 ohms; rated power handling capacity shall be at least 800 watts, conforming to EIA standard RS-426A.
The enclosure shall be solidly constructed of 19-mm (3/4-in.) stock with all joints tightly fitted and glued. Overall dimensions shall be no greater than 100.3 cm (39.5 in.) high by 57.2 cm (22.5 in.) wide by 44.7 cm (17.6 in.) deep. Finish shall be black vinyl with leatherette pattern. An independently certified suspension kit shall be available to suspend the TL606DW horizontally (model HS6) or vertically (model HS7). Internal 1/4-20 threaded fasteners pro- vide a method of mounting high-frequency devices to the system. The system shall be the Electro-Voice TL606DW.
