It comprises an 18” driver in a horn-loaded cabinet, giving increased efficiency and improved LF output. For optimal performance, the iQ 18B has been designed to operate in conjunction with the iQ 10 mid/high horn-loaded cabinet, where the system is controlled by a dedicated loudspeaker management system TDX2.
CABLE RUN C.S.A. OF EACH CONDUCTOR (mm) 4. Polarity Checking It is most important to check the polarity of the wiring. A simple method of doing this is to use a pulse based polarity checker for LF units. Connect the speaker leg which you believe to be connected to Pin 1 to the + the –...
7. Equalisation The iQ 18B loudspeaker is designed to need no equalisation or correction to overcome system limitations. As a result, it will only need equalisation to compensate for difficult acoustic environments.
9. Positioning When a bass loudspeaker is used in an environment with boundary surfaces, its placement affects its frequency response. When such effects are properly understood, they can be used to great effect in producing the desired sound quality without the aid of additional amplification.
Convenient flying points are provided on the iQ 18B which will allow the optional flying equipment to be used, as shown in Figure 10a. In the addition to flying the iQ 18B by itself, it can also be flown in conjunction with Tannoy iQ 10 Mid/High unit. They can also be configured to be flown double.
10.1. Flying an iQ 18B To fly the iQ 18B by itself, the following accessories are required: SR18 Side Rail Kit and SCB Beam Kit. The flown system is assembled as shown in Figure 10b. The SR18 side rail kit is screwed to the side of the cabinet using the screws provided (1).
SCB Beam Kits are placed above and below the speaker (3). The Lynch Pin is inserted into the holes of the side rail kit top and bottom (4) and the Pin folded to secure it in place (Figure 10c, page 10). Figure 10d 10.3. Flying an iQ 18B with iQ 10...
The flown system is assembled as shown in Figure 10e. First, the SR18/10 side rail kit is screwed to the side of both the iQ 18B and iQ 10 cabinets using the screws provided (1). The SCB Beam Kits are placed above and below the speaker assembly (2). The Lynch Pin is inserted into the holes of the side rail kit top and bottom (3) and the Pin folded to secure it in place (Figure 10f).
The flown system is assembled as shown in Figure 10g. First, the SR18/10 side rail kit is screwed to the side of each iQ 18B and iQ 10 cabinet using the screws provided (1). The JK1 Jointing Kit is slotted between two SCB Beam Kits for botht he top and bottom (2).
