X SERIES SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

The X Series Loudspeaker Systems’ 1/4" jacks are wired in parallel allowing any one of the connectors to be used as an input and any other as an output. This allows "daisy chaining" of multiple loudspeakers, eliminating the need for several long, cumbersome runs of speaker cable (see diagram on page 6). Their connections are as follows:

Polarity

Phone Jack

Positive (+)

Tip

Negative (-)

Sleeve

If X enclosures are used as the mid / high pack in a larger three-way loudspeaker array, an external crossover may be used with the speaker and two channels of power amplification will be required: one for the low frequencies and another for the high frequencies (see diagram on page 7).

SETUP SUGGESTIONS

The placement of any speaker can dramatically affect its sound. Thus, there are several considerations to review when placing loudspeakers.

First, the range of the horizontal coverage should be determined. The speaker may be used as a single unit, as part of a pair, or as part of a group of widely spaced enclosures, in any case, maximum horizontal coverage will be desired. Examples of these types of setups are shown. The horn in this configuration has a horizontal coverage angle of 70º and a vertical coverage of 35º.

NOTE: When setting up your X Series enclosures, be sure to place the cabinets in such a way as to minimize overlapping radiating patterns.

A second consideration is for feedback and bass performance. If the speaker is placed near a large, flat wall, the bass output will increase by approximately 6 dB. Placing the speaker near a wall can cause feedback. If this occurs, the speaker must be moved.

A third consideration is to what degree the speaker should be "heard and not seen", especially in permanent installations. Remember, where the speaker cabinets are placed will effect both their tone and radiating patterns.

CARPET COVERING CARE

X Series cabinets are covered in a tough, black Tolex covering for long life and lasting good looks. To clean the Tolex covering, use a sponge and a light soapy water solution to wipe away any smudges or dirt. For stubborn stains,

a slightly more concentrated soapy solution may be used. Avoid spilling liquids on the input panel, grille and speakers.
