User manual FENDER 115-ELC

[. . . ] Increase the distance between speakers and electronic devices to reduce interference. · WARNING: Fender loudspeaker systems are capable of producing very high sound pressure levels which may cause temporary or permanent hearing damage. Use care when setting and adjusting volume levels during use. . [. . . ] · No user serviceable part inside, refer servicing to qualified personnel only. Speaker Connections 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 additional speaker cabinet in a "daisy-chain" connection scheme. A illustrates the XP system "daisy-chained" with Fender 115sA or 118sA Sub-woofers. Using the recommended speaker impedance Powered Mixer load ensures optimum efficiency and signal XP response. The total Series impedance load of a "daisy-chain" scheme can be adjusted by Fender FIG. A using speakers of differPole Mount ent impedances. One of TYPICAL "DAISY-CHAIN" the results of mixing SCHEME speaker impedances 115sA/ though, is that any 118sA speakers with lower impedance ratings will have a higher power consumption and output. For example, the power use/output of a 2 speaker will be twice that of a 4 speaker and 4 times that of a 8 speaker. Sound quality is often compromised when a sound system is required to be hidden from sight. Remember that the location of your loudspeaker cabinets will affect sound quality and coverage area more than any other factor. The XP Series horn has a horizontal coverage angle of 70º and a vertical coverage of 35º; bass speakers are nearly omnidirectional. C your XP Series XP XP enclosures as a "single unit, " aim 70° the cabinets 70° apart as shown in ° r FIG. C, for 140° e o f ov of horizontal covHo C rizontal erage. Speaker Cables Power and audio signal cables are a common sources of sound system failure. Quality cables, carefully maintained, are essential to the reliability of the entire sound system. Long cable connections or cables supplying multiple speaker cabinets must be of a sufficient gauge to transfer all of the available amplifier power to the speakers. As a rule, thicker cables (lower gauge numbers) are more efficient because they absorb less power themselves. Prevent power loss and the degradation of signal quality by using the recommended cable gauges below.
