1. Introduction The Tannoy V12HP utilises a hi gh performance Dual Concentric ™ drive unit – the 12” (300mm) PowerDual ™ . The substa ntially increas ed effic iency and power handling of this all- new dr iver d esign ensures that the V12HP is capable of deliveri ng high SPL’s in even the most demanding applications.
Cable choice consists mainly of selecting the corr ect cr oss se ctiona l area in relation to the cable length and the load impedance. A small cross sectional area woul d increase the cables series resistance, inducing power loss and resp onse variat ions (dampi ng facto r).
5. Amplification & Power Handling As with all professional loudspeake r systems, the power handli ng is a functi on of voice coil thermal capacity. Care sh ould be take n to avoid running the amplifier into clip (clipping is the end result of overd riving a ny amplif ier).
8. Arraying As discussed in the previous sect ion, comb filtering is a phenom enon, which cannot no t be cured by equalisation. Small alterations to loudspeaker positions can have the effect of minimising problematic combing frequencies.
