DESCRIPTION
Triad is a full-range, 3-way speaker system that utilizes a single 15" woofer, a 10" mid-range driver, and
a high frequency horn tweeter. Each component is housed in its own sealed chamber to maximize effi-
ciency and eliminate any interaction between components.
CONNECTION AND OPERATION
Triad can be connected to any musical instrument amplifier capable of driving a 4 ohm load. To connect
your amplifier to Triad, run a high quality speaker cable (18 gauge or heavier) from your amplifier's
speaker output to one of the designated speaker inputs (Speakon or 1/4") on Triad's input panel.
POWER HANDLING
The power output rating for any amplifier connected to Triad should not exceed the enclosure's 400
watt RMS power handling capacity. Please be aware that exceeding Triad's power handling capacity can
void the SWR warranty if any damage occurs to your loudspeakers due to overpowering.
FULL RANGE INPUT AND OUTPUT JACKS
Triad features four, full range input/output jacks (two standard 1/4" and two Speakon) wired in parallel.
If you are running two speaker enclosures in parallel, connect the speaker cable from your amplifier to
either jack labeled "IN," and a second speaker cable from either jack labeled "OUT" to the input of the
second speaker enclosure.
TWEETER ATTENUATOR CONTROL
The large dial found on the input panel of the cabinet is the Tweeter Attenuator. This control is used to
adjust the level of high frequency signal present at the tweeter. A normal setting for this control is
straight up or "twelve o'clock." Turning the dial fully counter-clockwise removes the tweeter from the cir-
cuit. As you turn the dial clockwise from this position, the high frequency content is increased.
INTERNAL CROSSOVER
Triad's internal (passive) crossover divides the incoming signal into three frequency bands. The crossover
points for the Triad are 5 kHz and 100 Hz. Frequencies above 5 kHz go to the Tweeter,
frequencies between 5 kHz and 100 Hz go to the 10" driver. The woofer is a full-range driver.
