IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS! Please read this very carefully before operating this unit Read ALL instructions carefully before using this unit. Do not operate this unit near water, in the rain or where there is moisture. If this warning is ignored a serious electrical shock or death may occur. Do not attempt to service this unit. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified, ISP approved service personnel.
Caution: Exposure to extremely high noise levels can cause permanent hearing loss. The Tripower 15 speaker system is capable of producing in excess of 126db SPL at 1 meter. Continued exposure to noise levels in excess of 90db may cause permanent hearing loss. Below is a chart of the OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) regulations for Occupational Noise Exposure.
PLACEMENT The Tripower 15 is designed to sit on the floor or stage. Do not position or mount the cabinet where it can tip over and fall on someone. Do not attempt to mount the cabinet on speaker stands. Do not attempt to ‘fly’ (suspend by cables, chains, ropes, etc.) the cabinet. It was not designed for flying. Position it only on a flat, stable surface where it is not in danger of tipping over.
4. BALANCED ¼” PHONE INPUT-This jack provides an input for balanced or unbalanced line level signal source. 5. BALANCED XLR INPUT-This female XLR connector provides an input for balanced line level signal source 6. BALANCED ¼” PHONE OUTPUT – This ¼” phone provides a balanced loop through for connecting to additional powered cabinets. 7. BALANCED XLR OUTPUT- This XLR male provides a balanced loop through for connecting to additional powered cabinets. FUSE REPLACEMENT 1.
CONNECTION DIAGRAM BALANCED CONNECTION DESCRIPTION The ISP Tripower series has balanced XLR and ¼” phone inputs and outputs configured to AES standards (Audio Engineering Society). These connections are connected in a loop through configuration and will accept a balanced linelevel input. The standard phase configuration is that pin 2 is (+), pin 3 is (-), and pin 1 is shielded ground on the XLR. On the ¼” phone jacks the configuration is Tip is (+), Ring is (-), and Sleeve is ground.
THERMAL CONDITIONS The ISP Tripower 15 Series is capable of producing in excess of 700 watts at full power. This generates heat that must be dissipated in order to maintain reliability and insure the amplifier components stay within their operating temperature specs. To accomplish this, the amplifier is mounted on a heatsink that is exposed on the rear of the cabinet. Airflow is forced through a bass port at the bottom of the fins of the rear heatsink via the air movement from the 15” speaker.
