CONNECTIONS
The connection cables which connect the amplifiers output and the speaker should be of good quality, have sufficient conductor area and be as short as possible. The latter fact is especially important when the distance is long and the load impedance low (8 Ω). A cross-section of at least 2.5mm2 is recommended for distances up to 10m; 4 or 6mm2 for longer distances. Following formula gives the required section, assuming 4% losses:
See detailed connections diagram on next page.
Connection & Installation Diagram
RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER
- The output power of the recommended amplifier for ZEN-15 is 140W RMS.
POSITIONING & INSTALLATION
Positioning
Consider following general rules.
Place the speaker on a solid and firm surface. No obstacles should stand between the enclosures and the audience. The high frequencies are very directive compared to the low frequencies, so that any obstacle will impair their response. In case large audiences must be addressed, a better long distance sound propagation will be achieved if the enclosures are flown high enough.
