As with all LHTM full-range speakers, this unit can be driven in full-range or bi-amp mode simply by plugging into the desired jack on the input plate. The LHTM6M cabinet has a dual-angle back for use in long and short throw applications. This shape also greatly reduces the build-up of internal standing waves. [. . . ] When high frequency drive level to the LHTM6M exceeds predetermined thresholds, the protection circuit is temporarily engaged. This subtly decreases the signal level applied to high frequency driver so that it will not be damaged due to long term overpowering. Short duration transients will not be attenuated by the protection circuit and thus have the potential to damage the driver. The protection circuit is realized through the use of a dynamically resistive component in conjunction with a switched padding circuit. An additional feature of the crossover is the use of a new switching Neutrik Speakon® connector for the bi-amp input. It is no longer necessary to manually switch, or move jumpers to reconfigure the crossover circuitry when bi-amping any of the LH series loudspeakers. This connector is wired 1+, 1- for the woofer, with 1+ being positive, and 2+, 2- for the high frequency driver, with 2+ being positive. As with the full range inputs, simply insert your Speakon bi-amp plug into the bi-amp input connector, and twist clockwise 1/8 turn. This simple action switches out the crossover, and simultaneously connects the woofer and driver directly to the bi-amp speaker cable. Specifications Power Handling LH 6M Loudspeaker Amplitude Response (1W 1m On-Axis) TM Crest Audio rates this unit's system power handling using a modified form of the AES Standard 2-1984. Utilizing audio band limited (20 Hz - 20 kHz) pink noise with peaks over four times the RMS level. This strenuous test signal assures the user that every portion of this system can withstand high impact music. The test signal contains large amounts of low frequency energy, effectively simulating the frequency content of live music situations. High frequency test signals expose the speaker system to synthesized tones that may extend beyond audibility. This rating is contingent on having a minimum of 3 dB of amplifier headroom available so as to ensure that clipping does not occur. 110 dB SPL (re 20 Pa) 100 90 80 70 20 50 100 200 Figure 1 500 1k Frequency (Hz) 2k 5k 10k 20k Impedance 100 50 30 Z 20 ( ) 10 5 3 2 1 20 50 100 200 500 1k Frequency (Hz) 2k 5k 10k 20k Figure 2 Specifications LHTM6M Loudspeaker frequency response usable low frequency limit (-10 dB point) power handling 59 Hz to 20 kHz (±3 dB) 48 Hz LH 6M Loudspeaker TM Full Range 500 W continuous (63. 2 V RMS) 1, 000 W program 2, 000 W peak passive high freq 150 W continuous (34. 6 V RMS) 300 W program 600 W peak sound pressure level 1 watt, 1meter in anechoic environment Full Range 97. 0 dB SPL, (2. 83 V input) high freq107 dB SPL, (2. 83 V input) maximum sound pressure level (1 meter) Full Range High Freq 126. 8 dB SPL continuous 132. 8 dB SPL peak 134. 5 dB SPL continuous 140. 5 dB SPL peak radiation angle measured 90 degrees horizontal x 40 degrees vertical transducer complement Low Freq High Freq 1x 15" Woofer, vented basket 2. 0" Exit / 75 mm voice coil compression driver on a CD horn box tuning frequency crossover frequency (internal passive) recommended minimum active crossover Fbox 56 Hz High Freq - 1700 Hz High Freq - 1500 Hz at 12 dB/octave Low Freq Low Freq time offset Low Freq High Freq 0. 00 ms 0. 60 ms Nominal 8. 0 Nominal 8. 0 impedance Z Full Range High Freq Minimum 7. 1 Minimum 6. 8 2x Neutrik Speakon input connections 4 conductor input jacks 1x Neutrik Speakon 4 conductor biamp switching input jack enclosure materials and finish 3/4" 7-ply premium, exterior grade, all-poplar, void-free plywood.
