4 G e t t i n g S t a r t e d The following steps will help you set up your loudspeakers quickly. 1. Make all initial connections with the power switches OFF on all equipment. Make sure the master volume, level, or gain controls are all the way down. 2.
5 H o o k u p D i a g r a m s 6912’s with a Mix er and P o wer Amplifier , Daisy-Chaining Y ou can use the 1/4" outputs or the Neutrik “Link Extension” connectors as “Thru” connections to daisy-chain the signal to another loudspeaker .
6 6912’s Daisy-Chained with tw o 6918s Subw oofer s The 6912’s can be used with the 6918s subwoofers to create an incredibly power ful system. The full-range stereo signal from the mixer and power amplifier go the the inputs of the left and right 6912’s.
7 P l a c e m e n t Y our new Series 69 loudspeakers are designed to sit on the floor or a tabletop. In addition, the 6912 and 6915 are designed to be pole-mounted or fit on a standard tripod speaker stand. The 6925 and 6918s ARE NOT designed to be pole-mounted.
8 P r o t e c t i o n HF Protection A protection circuit is built into the 6912, 6915, and 6925 to protect their high- frequency compression drivers from excessive power . When tripped, the protection circuit substantially reduces the power to the HF driver .
9 Some folks think that if they use a power amplifier whose power rating is below the maximum power-handling rating of the loudspeaker , then they can’t possibly damage the loudspeaker . But if the amplifier is driven into clipping, even a lower power amplifier can damage the loudspeaker .
10 A p p e n d i x A : S e r v i c e I n f o rm a t i o n Repair Service for T APCO products is available at a factory-authorized service center . Service for T APCO products living outside the United States can be obtained through local dealers or distributors.
