A second consideration is for feedback and bass performance. If the speaker is placed near a large, flat wall, the bass output will be increased by approximately 6 dB. Placing the speaker near a wall can cause feedback. If this occurs, the speaker must be moved. In general, placing speakers near a wall works best if the sources feeding the speaker are line level items.

A third consideration is to what degree the speaker should be "heard and not seen", especially in permanent installations. Flying (hanging the speakers from the ceiling) is one option whereby the 2912 / 2915 can be integrated with a 118s subwoofer. In this configuration, the speakers can be arranged in any array of up to three rows (tiers), loose or tight pack, with or without downward angling (splaying).

Flying speakers with the Fender RIGSAFE™ system

The Fender RigSafe™ system is designed into both speaker cabinets models to safely accommodate such practices. This system is compatible with both the JBL S.A.F.E.™ and the ATM Flyware™ rigging systems. Nonetheless, flying loudspeakers above crowds is dangerous and should only be undertaken by experienced and insured riggers. For more information on safe rigging practices, please refer to the "Flying with Fender RigSafe™" brochure (p/n 049646) or contact ATM FlyWare at (310) 834-5914.

HORN INSERTS

To change the dispersion pattern from 90º to 60º, first remove the grille from the speaker. Using a small screw driver, gently pry the grille away from the top and bottom cleat. Next, gently pull outward at the center of the grille; it should bend and pull out from under the sides. If your insert has a plug on it, you may wish to remove it for easier installation. To do so, carefully cut it off with a razor blade. To attach the two horn inserts, first place the wider end of the insert under the front lip of the horn. Next, guide the smaller end of the insert under the ribs near the throat of the horn. The insert is secured in place by the 3 ridges.

Installing the 2912(c) / 2915(c) horn insert

Reinstall the grille by placing one side of the grille under the side cleat, then gripping the grille on the top and bottom, bend the other end under the cleat at the opposite end of the cabinet. With the inserts installed, the horizontal coverage angle is reduced to 60º.

The high frequency driver for all enclosures is a compression driver using high technology polymer materials to handle large amounts of power. This compression driver is mated to an innovative Controlled Dispersion™ horn that allows a single horn to be used for a number of applications. The quick placement or removal of the horn inserts can change the horizontal coverage pattern from 60º to 90º. When both inserts are installed, a 60º coverage pattern is achieved. This is useful in multi-cabinet tight pack arrays where a narrower consistent coverage pattern is required. With the horn inserts removed, a 90º coverage pattern is attained offering a wider horizontal dispersion pattern.
