FLASH12P INSTRUCTIONS (FIG. 4 / 5 / 6)
15. INPUT (SPEAKON)
External amplier power input: this is the connector where you plug in the power cable coming from your power
amplier or powered mixer. The powered signal is ltered by an internal passive crossover for the LF woofer and HF
compression driver. The INPUT speakon has this pin connecon:
PIN1+: posive power signal (usually red wire)
PIN1-: negave power signal (usually black wire)
16. LINK (SPEAKON)
Output of the power signal to be sent to another loudspeaker. INPUT and LINK connectors are in parallel connecon.
17. PRODUCT LABEL
In this label are wrien the most important informaon about the loudspeaker: model, power handling, impedance
serial number.
PROTECTION
A protecon circuit is built in to protect the high-frequency compression driver from excessive power. When the power
to the HF driver approaches the maximum, the power delivered to the driver is momentarily interrupted.
NOTE: The protecon circuit is designed to protect the HF driver under reasonable and sensible condions. Should you
choose to ignore the warning signs (i.e., frequent clip LED indicaons, excessive distoron), you can sll damage the
speakers by overdriving them past their recommended amplier power-handling rangs, or past the point of amplier
clipping. Such damage is beyond the scope of the warranty.
CHOOSE THE AMPLIFIER POWER
We give you two power-handling numbers: connuous and peak. So these data suggest you can use any amplier with
a power capability equal or less the power-handling, but this rule is valid only if the amplier never clip any me.
Prevenng loudspeaker damage caused by clipping, that is likely the number one cause of damage, and assuming you
want to use the full capability of the loudspeaker, we recommend the use of an amplier with a built-in limiter to prevent
clipping, in this case the rated power capability must be the same connuous power rang of the loudspeaker into the
same specied impedance (typically 4 or 8 ohms):
• To obtain the best result using FLASH12P / 8 ohm we suggest the use of PROEL HPX-900 amplier for a standard
stereo conguraon.
IMPORTANT: Clipping occurs when the signal at the output of any device in the system (not just the amplier) reaches its
maximum level. Proper operaon of a sound system includes being aware of the types of audio signals being reproduced,
controlling the output levels accordingly, and operang all the devices in the system so that no clipping occurs within
the signal chain.
