Connections

The PAHT speakers have “Quick Connect” speaker terminals, which accommodate wire leads.

Make certain that the wires you are using are at least 14 gauge unshielded speaker cable (the lower the number, the thicker the wire). Do not use shielded “instrument” cables.

Amplifier Requirements

Check the product specifications (page 4) to see the power handling for your model. There are a couple of considerations to keep in mind when choosing an amplifier to drive your PAHT series speaker. While it is true that an amplifier with a higher power rating can damage the drivers, under- powering can be even more dangerous. When an amplifier is overdriven and starts distorting, it generates transient frequencies that are much louder than the program material. These wayward frequencies could damage your speaker. A proper match is an amplifier which could drive the speaker up to the cabinet’s RMS rating, without exceeding the amplifier’s own RMS level.

Operation

When powering on your equipment, make sure the volume level on the amplifier is turned all the way down. This is to avoid the “popping” noise, which could damage your speaker.

High frequencies are unidirectional while low frequencies are omni directional. Being that this is a tweeter system, it is important that the speaker be placed so that the high frequencies reach the intended listeners properly. Make certain that no person or object could come to interrupt the line-of-site between the loudspeaker and the audience.

When using more than one loudspeaker, you have to account for phase alignment. When the speakers are close together this is not usually an issue. However, when they are far apart, the sound from one speaker may reach the ear a fraction of a second before the other. This will cause certain frequencies to cancel out, altering the sound. To avoid this, you may have to use a delay processor to align the sound from the speakers.
