X SERIES SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
The X Series Loudspeaker Systems' 1/4" jacks are
wired in parallel allowing any one of the connectors to
be used as an input and any other as an output. This
allows "daisy chaining" of multiple loudspeakers,
eliminating the need for several long, cumbersome runs
of speaker cable (see diagram on page 6). Their
connections are as follows:
Polarity
Positive (+)
Negative (-)
If X enclosures are used as the mid / high pack in a larger
three-way loudspeaker array, an external crossover
may be used with the speaker and two channels of
power amplification will be required: one for the low
frequencies and another for the high frequencies (see
diagram on page 7).
SETUP SUGGESTIONS
The placement of any speaker can dramatically affect
its sound. Thus, there are several considerations to
review when placing loudspeakers.
First, the range of the horizontal coverage should be
determined. The speaker may be used as a single unit,
as part of a pair, or as part of a group of widely spaced
enclosures, in any case, maximum horizontal coverage
will be desired. Examples of these types of setups
are shown. The horn in this configuration has a
horizontal coverage angle of 70º and a vertical
coverage of 35º.

NOTE: When setting up your X Series enclosures, be
sure to place the cabinets in such a way as to minimize
overlapping radiating patterns.
A second consideration is for feedback and bass
performance. If the speaker is placed near a large, flat
wall, the bass output will increase by approximately 6
dB. Placing the speaker near a wall can cause
feedback. If this occurs, the speaker must be moved.
A third consideration is to what degree the speaker
should be "heard and not seen", especially in
permanent installations. Remember, where the
speaker cabinets are placed will effect both their tone
and radiating patterns.
CARPET COVERING CARE
X Series cabinets are covered in a
tough, black Tolex covering for long life
and lasting good looks. To clean the
Tolex covering, use a sponge and a light
soapy water solution to wipe away any
smudges or dirt. For stubborn stains,
a slightly more concentrated soapy solution may be
used. Avoid spilling liquids on the input panel, grille
and speakers.
