User manual FENDER REISSUE 62 JAGUAR

[. . . ] In fact, many of the world's best sounding electric musical instruments and sound reinforcement equipment proudly wear the Fender name. Whether you simply need loudspeaker systems to compliment your existing setup or a complete sound system, Fender has the sound reinforcement equipment that will meet your needs. Likewise, your decision to purchase Fender pro audio gear is one you will appreciate with each performance for years to come. Wishing you years of enjoyment and a heartfelt thank you, Bill Schultz Bill Schultz Chairman Fender Musical Instruments Corporation CONTRATOR SERIES REISSUE 62 JAGUAR PROFESSIONAL SUBWOOFER LOUDSPEAKERS INTRODUCTION 13-Ply Baltic Birch Cabinet 1600W Program Power Handling 35 Hz to 170 Hz Frequency Response 101 dB Sensitivity @ 1W / 1m Two 15" Woofers with 4" Voice Coils and 110 Ounce Magnets 4-pole SpeakonTM Connectors and High Current 1/4" Phone Jacks Thank you for purchasing a Contractor Series CS215 Professional Subwoofer from Fender® Pro Audio. [. . . ] We are sure you will find it both a unique and effective sound reinforcement product, providing years of trouble-free service. Designed for the most demanding sound contracting requirements, the cabinet's multiple cavities and internal wood bracing helps eliminate side wall movement. This design results in low distortion, very high power handling and very high SPL output. Likewise, large ports on the REISSUE 62 JAGUAR cabinet prevent compression at high SPL due to large exit velocities. Housed in a sanded unfinished cabinet, the REISSUE 62 JAGUAR offers the flexibility of painting and varnishing the cabinet to your specifications. Also, a black annodized pole (p/n 071-1359-000) is available for placing a mid or high range enclosure over the CS215. -Only use Fender Mounting Pole (P/N 071-1359000) to support the full range cabinets. CAUTION: -Almost all speakers produce strong magnetic fields which may interfere with the normal operation of nearby electronic devices, including televisions and computer video monitors. To reduce or eliminate interference, increase the distance between this product and other nearby electronic devices. 3 CONNECTIONS The two 4-Pole SpeakonTM connectors and the two 1/4" phone jacks are wired in full parallel so that any one of the connectors may be used as an input and the other connectors as an output to another subwoofer. This allows the multiple, cabinets to be "daisy chained", eliminating the need for several long runs of speaker cable. The third consideration is convenience and the visual aspect of the speaker array. For temporary installations, the subwoofer can be used as a support for a mid/high pack mounted either directly on top of the subwoofer or supported by the optional pole (Fender P/N 071-1359-000) and using the subwoofer as a base. In permanent installations, the REISSUE 62 JAGUAR may be placed under a stage, table or podium. For each particular situation, a compromise among these three factors should yield the best solution possible. 4 USING THE REISSUE 62 JAGUAR IN A SYSTEM The REISSUE 62 JAGUAR is designed to augment the low frequency performance of the main P. A. By reproducing very high levels of the low bass frequencies, the REISSUE 62 JAGUAR relieves the smaller main speakers from having to supply this energy. In order to split frequencies and send certain frequencies to one type of speaker and other frequencies to another type, a line-level electronic crossover, such as a Fender® PCN-2TM or PCN-4TM, is required. Two different configurations are shown on pages 5 and 6, demonstrating how easy it is to add a subwoofer to a system. Figure 3, on page 7, shows a more extensive configuration for those set-ups requiring additional power. CROSSOVER SUGGESTIONS After the speaker system has been placed, the crossover point needs to be set for maximum benefit. While the 15" drivers in the REISSUE 62 JAGUAR are fully capable of accurately reproducing frequencies above 350 Hz, the bandpass enclosure has been designed to acoustically roll off frequencies above 170 Hz. [. . . ] While the 15" drivers in the REISSUE 62 JAGUAR are fully capable of accurately reproducing frequencies above 350 Hz, the bandpass enclosure has been designed to acoustically roll off frequencies above 170 Hz. This decreases distortion levels and boosts frequencies below 170 Hz. Thus, the crossover point should be set lower than 130 Hz to ensure that all frequencies are reproduced. Setting the crossover point too low (below 80 Hz) will not take full advantage of the subwoofer because it places too high of a demand on the mid/high packs. [. . . ]
