TP SERIES SPEAKERS

Congratulations on your purchase of an excellent, high performance loudspeaker system from MTX! We are confident that your purchase will bring you years of listening pleasure.

MTX’s TP speakers consists of single 10" and single or dual 12” woofers matched with our Generation 2 X-radial designed horn loaded high frequency tweeter designed to provide uniform sound dispersion, and coverage area, with excellent sound quality. Your speaker is designed to perform equally well in many different applications, including low to mid level live sound reproduc- tion, public address, karaoke applications, or mobile entertainment. The long excursion woofer and horn-loaded tweeter with high frequency protection circuitry make your TP speaker suitable for voice or music.

Your speakers carrying handles, mounted to a strong, lightweight cabinet make it easily portable to use anywhere you need it. The rugged corner braces allow for upright positioning and interlock for secure stacking of multiple cabinets. The versatile 5-way binding posts and 1/4" phone jack inputs make it easy to connect to any amplifier. You can use a single speaker for mono or connect a pair to a stereo amplifier for a stereo pair. Some models are equipped with pole mount cups to allow for stand mounting

WARNING: To avoid injury, DO NOT SUSPEND the enclosure.

AMPLIFIER CONSIDERATIONS

Your speaker system specifications list RMS power and Peak power ratings. Power amplifiers are also typically rated using RMS power, which is an indication of the power level an amplifier is able to continuously deliver to a loudspeaker without damage or distortion to the amplifier. Consult your amplifier owners manual to confirm power output at the rated impedance at which your amplifier will be operating with the speakers connected. These ratings should be considered when selecting the best amplifier to power your system. For general use, amplifier output should match or exceed the RMS rated power of the speaker system.

WARNING: Overpowering could cause serious damage to the loudspeak- er.

HOOK UP

Your TP speaker comes equipped with 5-way binding posts and 1/4” phone jack for easy connection depending on your needs.

CAUTION: Be sure your amplifier is turned off before you make any wire connections.

5-Way Binding Posts

Use color coded, two conductor or stranded, twisted pair wire to connect your speaker to an amplifier using the 5-way binding posts. Each has two individual conductors covered with insulation, and are often marked to help you make the proper connections. Insulation on one side of the wire might have a ridge or colored stripe. Or, the two conductors may have

different color insulation (red and black, for example). Be sure to connect (+) on the speaker

to (+) on the amp, and (-) on the speaker to (-) on the amp.
