User manual PEAVEY FOUNDATION S ACTIVE

[. . . ] Before using this appliance, read the operating guide for further warnings. WARNING: When using electrical products, basic cautions should always be followed, including the following: Do not use this apparatus near water. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. [. . . ] Ensure that the proper MIC/LINE PAD setting is being used (6) for line-level signals, or that a power amp has not been plugged into one of the input jacks of the FOUNDATION S ACTIVE. If an extension cord is being used to provide the AC power to the unit, ensure that it is of sufficient current capacity and that it is not also being used to supply power to any other device. the FOUNDATION S ACTIVE has built-in EQ to extend and smooth the natural response of the speakers in the system. Bass boost and HF EQ have been applied and the system has a nominally flat response, so it should require little, if any, additional EQ. Finally, realize that even though the FOUNDATION S ACTIVE is a powerful and high output unit, it does ultimately have limits, and it may need additional powered units (or a subwoofer) to provide enough sound output or coverage. In this case, try turning the mixer levels down a little to see if that clears things up. If, after checking all the things listed to check and anything else you can think of to check safely, and the system still exhibits problems, carefully note all conditions and check with your Peavey dealer for advice. Your FOUNDATION S ACTIVE is a sturdy and durable product and will provide years of reliable use if properly cared for. Use common sense and read the safety warnings to avoid hazardous operating conditions. The unit must be disconnected from the AC power source before any work is done on it. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this may cause the unit to overheat and thermally shut off. The enclosure shall be constructed of injection-molded polypropylene of 1/4" nominal thickness with a UL flame rating, and reinforcing ribs internally. The cabinet shall incorporate a pole mount for speaker stand use, four tall sturdy rubber feet for floor standing use, and four mounting point inserts on the top and bottom each for flying use. 13" deep, and the weight shall be 37 lbs. Power requirements shall be: 100 Watts nominal, 120 VAC, 60 Hz Domestic and 240 VAC, 50 Hz (European). The loudspeaker system shall be called a Peavey FOUNDATION S ACTIVE. Enclosure: Peavey FOUNDATION S ACTIVE (domestic) Frequency response: 67 Hz to 20 kHz Low frequency limit (-3 dB point): 67 Hz Useable low frequency limit (-10 dB point): 55 Hz Internal power amplifiers (@120 VAC line): Woofer - 200 Watts peak dynamic power 150 Watts @ less than 0. 1% distortion Tweeter - 70 Watts peak dynamic power 50 Watts @ less than 0. Nominal sensitivity (1W @1M, swept sine input in anechoic environment): 95 dB Maximum sound pressure level: 119 dB music peak Nominal radiation angles: 90° horizontal by 40° vertical Transducer complement: 10" heavy duty woofer and RXTM14 1. 4" titanium diaphragm compression driver tweeter Box tuning frequency (Fbox): 76 Hz Electroacoustic crossover frequency: 2, 200 Hz Crossover type: Internal Electronic two-way crossover with CD horn EQ, level matching, bass boost and subsonic filtering. Crossover Slopes: 18 dB/octave (third order) low pass, 18 dB/octave (third order) high pass, both with staggered poles and driver EQ. Unit has horn spatially aligned with woofer, so there is no need for phase alignment or time delay of the signals.
