  • Page 3: Overview

    Overview The ASCENDO System ZF-3 is a three-way Loudspeaker constructed with ASCENDO's SASB-Technology. The strictly modular design leads to several advantages. • perfect phase reconstruction at the actual position of the listener by time alignment. • consequently mechanical and electrical decoupled: more details and transparency.

  • Page 4: Application

    Operating modes You can use the System ZF-3 in a single-amp setup (one power amplifier for high- and low-frequency unit) or in a bi-amp setup (one power amplifier for the low- frequency-unit, one for the high-frequency unit) or in a tri-amp setup (one power amplifier for the low-frequency-chassis, one for the middle-frequency chassis, one for the high-frequency unit).

    There may be a slight permanent imprint in soft floor-material! Mounting WARNING Don’t try to mount the System ZF-3 alone. The weight of the low-frequency unit is too much for a single person. You need at least two persons to build up the system. Place the low-frequency unit (3) carefully at the desired place.

  • Page 7: Transport

    Transport Warning Don’t try to move or transport the System ZF-3! The weight affords at least two persons. 1. Switch off the power amplifiers and disconnect all cables of the System ZF-3. 2. Pull off the high-frequency (1) unit from the low-frequency unit (3). Lay it on a soft dry cloth.

  • Page 9 The high- and low-frequency unit can be connected as follows: • single-wired: - one cable-pair from power-amp to high-frequency unit - one cable-pair from low-frequency unit to high-frequency unit - one cable-pair from inner chassis to outer chassis • bi-wired: Version1: - one cable pair from power amp to low-frequency unit - one cable pair from the power amp to high-frequency unit...
  • Page 10 The speaker-units are adjustable to the characteristics of your power-amplifier. Since these differ strongly you have to check the best switch position for your specific setup. These are the key-rules for the adjustment: High-frequency unit Switch (4) in position VD-N •...
