Description
The Crest Audio LH™6M is a newly designed two-way stage monitor
comprised of one 15" high-power woofer, one 2" exit compression
driver coupled to a 60° x 40° constant directivity horn.
As with all LH™ 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
LH™6M cabinet has a dual-angle back for use in long and short throw appli-
cations. This shape also greatly reduces the build-up of internal standing
waves. Standing waves are internal amplitude peaks that occur due to
reflections within the cabinet at frequencies related to the internal dimen-
sions of the cabinet. This ensures a minimum of mid-bass and mid-range
coloration of the reproduced sound due standing waves within the cabinet.
Additionally, a stand mount adapter is included for easy side-fill applications.
The LH™6M is constructed of very high quality 3/4" 7-ply all-Poplar ply-
wood, which is void-free, medium density, and warp-resistant. The LH™6M
cabinet is finished with Crest Audio's durable black Hammer-Head poly-
coating. Polymer corners are also added to provide further protection to the
cabinet. A black powder-coated heavy-gauge metal grill covers the entire
front of the monitor to protect the drivers from unforeseen impacts.
Crest Audio's protection circuit for mid and high frequency driver pro-
tection is included as a standard feature. The input signal is routed
through the protection circuit in both full-range and bi-amp modes of
operation. When high frequency drive level to the LH™6M exceeds
predetermined thresholds, the protection circuit is temporarily
engaged. This subtly decreases the signal level applied to high fre-
quency driver so that it will not be damaged due to long term over-
powering. Short duration transients will not be attenuated by the pro-
tection 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
essary to manually switch, or move jumpers to reconfigure the
crossover circuitry when bi-amping any of the LH series loudspeak-
ers. This connector is wired 1+, 1- for the woofer, with 1+ being posi-
tive, 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 sim-
ple action switches out the crossover, and simultaneously connects
the woofer and driver directly to the bi-amp speaker cable.
