  • Page 6: Connection

    4. Connection The QRP20 is a passive-filtered loudspeaker and features a high quality crossover network. As such, the QRP20 requires one processing/amplifier channel for amplification. To activate the Signal Integrity Sensing™ circuit in the amplified loudspeaker controller (ALC), the use of a 4-core loudspeaker cable with NL4 Speakon®...
  • Page 7 4. Connection If you do not want to use the SIS feature at all, the sense wires should be connected to the output wires at the amplifier output in the Speakon® connector. Warning! Never connect the sense+ to the output- terminal or vice versa, or short circuit both sense wires! Since you are disabling the amplifier’s feedback network, the amplifier can produce a large amount of DC at its output.

    The operation reliability is guaranteed by the advanced limiting algorithms in the DSP; The values of the dedicated preset are based on the QRP20 system surviving a 1000 hours durability test in the R&D test bunker at Alcons Audio HQ.
  • Page 10 Now the QRP20 is dedicated to this channel; Next you can make a choice of filter settings within the preset: 80Hz high-pass, 100Hz high-pass or full-range operation. The Alcons VHIR™ processing ensures a flat phase response down to 200Hz with minimal latency; This enables the user to select any Alcons subwoofer to seamlessly work with the QRP20, with optimized phase response.
  • Page 11 5. Installation The dedicated factory QRP20 preset ensures a flat frequency response; With the equalizer and delay sections in the ALC, the performance of the QRP20 can be adjusted to the environment and application. (See fig 7) These settings can be stored in the on-board user-preset bank. EQ and Delay settings: Fig 7.

    6. Operation The QRP20 is equally suitable for mobile deployment as well as fixed installation. Due to the wide 90 or 120 degree x narrow 15 degree HF dispersion, horizontal placement is less critical to still obtain a good audience coverage; However, vertically a correct speaker placement and focus is critical for an optimal performance with minimal spill on floor and ceiling, resulting in an excellent front-to-rear intelligibility.
  • Page 13 6. Operation The QRP20’s slim cabinet shape makes for a low-profile, unobtrusive mounting. The M10 mounting points on top and bottom and the M6 universal mounting bracket pattern on the back enable the use of swivel brackets, stand mount, shoulder eye bolt and microphone stand deployment to get the best positioning for the QRP20.
