Operation Manual Array PCCbox Series NOTE: RCCB Sensitivity: Some residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs) may nuisance-trip due to high-frequency noise between line and neutral conductors, or capacitance imbalances in cabling. For PCCbox systems: • Specify HFI-resistant RCCBs (e.g., Type B or B+) •... -
Page 17: Amplification And Audio Connectivity
Operation Manual Array PCCbox Series 5. AMPLIFICATION AND AUDIO CONNECTIVITY Your PCCbox features dual balanced 3-pin XLR connections for professional audio integration. The line-level input accepts signals up to +21dBu and has an input impedance of 20kΩ impedance, compatible with external audio equip- ment such as mixing consoles and processors. -
Page 18: Amplifier Cooling System
Operation Manual Array PCCbox Series For example: Consider a mixing console with a 100Ω output impedance driving a daisy-chain of PCCbox loudspeakers. To main- tain the recommended 10:1 impedance ratio, the combined input impedance of all connected PCCbox units should total at least 1kΩ. -
Page 19: Network Configuration For Pccbox Devices
Operation Manual Array PCCbox Series The PCCbox series simplifies network configuration through intelligent automatic detection of subnet parameters. In most cases, the system will self-configure appropriately without user intervention. Should any IP conflicts arise, the PCC-Net interface will provide clear notifications and guidance for resolution. - Page 20 Operation Manual Array PCCbox Series Implementation: • Connect each MP14 directly to a central Gigabit switch • Use Cat6 cables for runs exceeding 15 metres • Enable QoS prioritisation for PCC-Net traffic www.tecnare.com...

Page 22: Sw-18Vr Operating Modes
Operation Manual Array PCCbox Series By maintaining the system’s full bandwidth capabilities while compensating for array interactions, this mode en- sures consistent tonal balance across all listening positions. The preset is equally effective in both flown and ground- stacked configurations where precise impact point alignment is required. -
Page 23: Calibration: Array Eq Filters
Operation Manual Array PCCbox Series • Two or three subwoofers create directional bass control • Rear attenuation reduces stage levels by 8-12dB • Phase-optimised filtering maintains frontal energy These presets require specific cabinet orientations - refer to Section XX for array positioning guidelines and deploy- ment examples to maximise cardioid effectiveness. -
Page 24: Long Distance Compensation (Ldc)
Operation Manual Array PCCbox Series 8.2. LONG DISTANCE COMPENSATION (LDC) The Long Distance Compensation (LDC) filter combines FIR-based EQ processing with per-cabinet gain ad- justment to counteract high-frequency air absorption effects in Line Source deployments. This advanced processing ensures spectral consistency across all audience zones, regardless of throw distance. - Page 25 Operation Manual Array PCCbox Series The LDC’s linear-phase FIR filters require buffer delays to maintain frequency response linearity. This latency be- comes destructive when mixed with uncompensated signals. Consequences of Non-Compliance • Audible comb filtering (most severe 2–8kHz) • 15–25% reduction in system output potential NOTE: This requirement applies regardless of throw distance - even short-throw cabinets must engage LDC if the array uses it.

Operation Manual Array PCCbox Series All monitoring data transmits continuously via the network connection while the system remains powered. The LCD display refreshes values at 1-second intervals, with priority given to critical protection alerts when present. Monitoring functions operate independently of audio processing and do not affect system performance. - Page 29 Operation Manual Array PCCbox Series System Reset This function restores all system parameters to their original factory de- faults, including user settings, DSP configurations, network preferences, and stored presets. This action is irreversible and will permanently erase all customized configurations.
