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.

CONNECTIONS SETUP SUGGESTIONS In normal operation (using the passive internal crossover), the 1/4" jacks and the Speakon ™ Connectors are wired in parallel allowing any one of the connectors to be used as an input and any other as an output. This allows "daisy chaining" of multiple loudspeakers, eliminating the need for several long, cumbersome runs of speaker cable. During normal mode, the connections are as follows: The placement of any speaker can dramatically affect its sound.
A second consideration is for feedback and bass performance. If the speaker is placed near a large, flat wall, the bass output will be increased by approximately 6 dB. Placing the speaker near a wall can cause feedback. If this occurs, the speaker must be moved. In general, placing speakers near a wall works best if the sources feeding the speaker are line level items. HORN INSERTS To change the dispersion pattern from 90º to 60º, first remove the grille from the speaker.
UNPOWERED MIXER NORMAL vs. BI-AMP OPERATION MAIN OUT Hours of testing and listening are used to determine the crossover point and filter slopes for each speaker. This information is then used to design the built-in passive crossover. For versatility and increased headroom, some users may wish to use an active electronic crossover / processor, such as the Fender PCN-2 or PCN-4, with the system. This electronic crossover or processor will take the place of the internal crossover of the speaker system.
