TOUR SERIES LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEMS From Fender Pro Audio Owner's Manual for 215s, 215sc P/N 050554 ELECTRONICS
Fender Musical Instruments 7975 North Hayden Road, Scottsdale, Arizona 85258 U.S.A. Fender knows the importance of sound reinforcement. From the simple box-top mixer to today's professional touring concert systems, the need to communicate, to make the connection between the performer and the audience is foremost in Fender's mind. Perhaps no other single piece of gear can make or break your band's sound. You see, your sound system is more than just a combination of dials, wires and speakers.
TOUR SERIES 215s / 215sc PROFESSIONAL SUBWOOFER LOUDSPEAKERS INTRODUCTION 13-Ply Baltic Birch Cabinet Thank you for purchasing a Tour Series 215s or 215sc Professional Subwoofer from Fender Pro Audio. We are sure you will find it both a unique and effective sound reinforcement product, providing years of trouble-free service.
CONNECTIONS SETUP SUGGESTIONS The two 4-Pole Speakon™ connectors and the two 1/4" phone jacks are wired in full parallel so that any one of the connectors may be used as an input and the other connectors as an output to another subwoofer. This allows the multiple, cabinets to be "daisy chained", eliminating the need for several long runs of speaker cable. The placement of any speaker can dramatically affect its sound. Thus, there are three primary considerations to review when placing subwoofers.
CROSSOVER SUGGESTIONS After the speaker system has been placed, the crossover point needs to be set for maximum benefit. While the 15" drivers in the 215s/215sc are fully capable of accurately reproducing frequencies above 350 Hz, the bandpass enclosure has been designed to acoustically roll off frequencies above 170 Hz. This decreases distortion levels and boosts frequencies below 170 Hz. Thus, the crossover point should be set lower than 130 Hz to ensure that all frequencies are reproduced.
