INSTRUCTIONS (FIG. 1 / 2 / 3)

1. INPUT (SPEAKON)
External amplifier power input: this is the connector where you plug in the power cable coming from your power
amplifier or powered mixer. The powered signal is filtered by an internal passive crossover that splits the power signal
into a low frequency section, sent to the woofer, and a high frequency section, sent to the driver. The INPUT has this
pin connection:
PIN1+ (or TIP): positive power signal (usually red wire)
PIN1- (or SLEEVE): negative power signal (usually black wire)
2. LINK (SPEAKON)
Output of the power signal to be sent to an another satellite loudspeaker. INPUT and LINK connectors are connected
in parallel.
CHOOSE THE AMPLIFIER POWER
For choosing the power amplifier refere to the AES or CONTINUOUS power handling data. These data suggest you can
use any amplifier with a power capability equal or less the power-handling, but this rule is valid only if the amplifier
never clips.
Preventing loudspeaker damage caused by clipping, that is likely the number one cause of damage, and assuming
you want to use the full capability of the loudspeaker, we recommend the use of an amplifier with a built-in limiter
to prevent clipping: in this case the rated power capability must be the same as the continuous power rating of the
loudspeaker into the same specified impedance (tipically 4 or 8 ohms):
• To obtain the best result using 2 (as single 8 ohm speaker for each channel) to 4 (as parallel 4 ohm speaker for each
channel) WD10P connected in stereo, we suggest the use of PROEL HPX900.
• To obtain the best result using 2 (as single 8 ohm speaker for each channel) to 4 (as parallel 4 ohm speaker for each
channel) WD12P connected in stereo, we suggest the use of PROEL HPX1200 amplifier.
• To obtain the best result using 2 (as single 8 ohm speaker for each channel) to 4 (as parallel 4 ohm speaker for each
channel) WD15P connected in stereo, we suggest the use of PROEL HPX1200 or HPX2400 amplifier.
IMPORTANT: clipping occurs when the signal at the output of any device in the system (not just the amplifier) reaches its
maximum level. Proper operation of a sound system includes being aware of the types of audio signals being reproduced,
controlling the output levels accordingly, and operating all the devices in the system so that no clipping occurs within
the signal chain.
