Each XP Series Loudspeaker cabinet
is equipped with two 1/4" jacks.
These standard phone jacks are wired
in parallel, allowing either one to be
used as the input; the other jack can
then be used as output to an addition-
al speaker cabinet in a "daisy-chain"
connection scheme. Fig. A illustrates
the XP system “daisy-chained” with
Fender 115sA or 118sA Sub-woofers.
Avoid damage to your equipment by
ensuring that the total speaker
impedance load is within the limits set
by the amplifier’s manufacturer.
XP Series Speakers have an
impedance of 8Ω. Listed below are the combined
impedance loads of the XP Series loudspeaker
connected in parallel with speakers of 4Ω, 8Ωand
16Ωratings:
• XP Series 8Ω+ any 4Ωspeaker = 2.6Ωload total
• XP Series 8Ω+ any 8Ωspeaker = 4Ωload total
• XP Series 8Ω+ any 16Ωspeaker = 5.3Ωload total
Using the recommend-
ed speaker impedance
load ensures optimum
efficiency and signal
response. The total
impedance load of a
“daisy-chain” scheme
can be adjusted by
using speakers of differ-
ent impedances. One of
the results of mixing
speaker impedances
though, is that any
speakers with lower
impedance ratings will
have a higher power
consumption and output. For example, the power
use/output of a 2Ωspeaker will be twice that of a
4Ωspeaker and 4 times that of a 8Ωspeaker.
Consider this when positioning speakers linked in a
“daisy-chain.”

The Fender® 110XP, 112XP, and 115XP two-way,
professional quality loudspeaker systems are
designed to form the basis of everything from a
public address system permanently installed, to
the nightly rigors of a working band’s portable
sound system. Add ultra-deep bass to the your XP
Series Loudspeaker System with a Fender 115sA
or 118sA Subwoofer Loudspeaker System.
Features of XP Artist Series Loudspeakers:
•Great fidelity using a trapezoidal cabinet design
•Moisture sealed 5/8” particle board cabinet
•Pole-mount sockets
•Two high-current, 1/4” phone jacks to enable
“daisy-chain” cabinet linking
•Dual piezoelectric compression drivers
•Silver grill cloth
•Metal corner protectors and glide feet
•Genuine Tolex® cabinet covering
•Compact and portable
•CAUTION: Speakers produce magnetic fields
which may interfere with the operation of near-
by electronic devices such as televisions and
computers. Increase the distance between
speakers and electronic devices to reduce inter-
ference.
•WARNING: Fender loudspeaker systems are
capable of producing very high sound pressure
levels which may cause temporary or perma-
nent hearing damage. Use care when setting
and adjusting volume levels during use..
•No user serviceable part inside, refer servicing
to qualified personnel only.
