We know that your music is important to you. With the addition of this subwoofer, your music will be reproduced as it was meant to be. . . Full, well rounded, and balanced throughout the frequency spectrum. Featuring one 15" (115sA) or 18" (118sA) woofer with a 2. 5 " voice coil and parallel high current 1/4" jacks that allow you to "daisy chain" other subwoofers or full range speakers to your system. The sA's bandpass design naturally rolls off high frequencies so there is no need to use a passive or active crossover network in multi-speaker systems. The single reflex enclosure design provides for high sensitivity, high power handling and excellent low frequency response. Please read through this owner's manual in order to more thoroughly understand the operation, and applications of your 115sA/118sA professional subwoofer. 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. 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 full-range speaker system mounted directly on top of the subwoofer. Use only the 27" Fender Mounting Pole (P/N 711327) which has been specifically designed for use with both the 115sA/118sA subwoofer enclosures. In permanent installations, the 115sA/118sA can be placed under a stage, table, or podium. For each particular situation, a compromise among these three factors should yield the best solution possible. USING THE 115sA/118sA IN A SYSTEM The 115sA/118sA is designed to augment the low frequency performance of the main P. A. The single reflex bandpass design of these systems automatically rolls off the high frequencies eliminating the need for an active or electronic crossover network. Thus, the subwoofers can be wired directly in parallel with almost any full-range speaker system. Nonetheless, a line-level electronic crossover, such as a Fender® PCN-2TM or PCN-4TM, can be used in order to split frequencies and send mid/high frequencies to a full-range speaker system and low frequencies to a subwoofer. [. . . ] Nonetheless, a line-level electronic crossover, such as a Fender® PCN-2TM or PCN-4TM, can be used in order to split frequencies and send mid/high frequencies to a full-range speaker system and low frequencies to a subwoofer. By reproducing high levels of low bass frequencies, the 115sA/118sA relieves the smaller main speakers from having to supply this energy. If a crossover is used in your set-up, make sure that the crossover point is between 100/120 Hz to ensure maximum efficiency from your 115sA/118sA. [. . . ]
