Equalisation; Dimensions - Tannoy i5 AW User Manual

When calculating amplifier wattage requirements for a system, it is recommended
that a generous wattag e safety margin (3dB of headroom) be left so that the system
does not have to operate continuously at its full rated output.

7. Equalisation

The i5 AW 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.
Excess equalisation can reduce system headroom, and introduce phase distortion
resulting in greater problems than it cures. If equalisation is required then it should be
applied gently and smoothly. Violent equalisation will be detrimental to the overall
sound quality. If the loudspeakers were being used consistently at high levels it would
be beneficial to introduce a high-pass filter at 50Hz to protect the loudspeaker from
any unnecessary subsonic frequencies.
