Install an Isolator Board or DC Blocking Board in a loudspeaker
1.
Inspect the board for signs of damage.
2.
Optional: Open the loudspeaker so that you can install the board. Refer to the installation
instructions of the loudspeaker for more information.
3.
Use the mounting holes in the board to install it in the loudspeaker. If the Isolator Board
does not fit inside the loudspeaker, it can be installed inside the supplied housing
instead.
4.
Set the jumpers to the correct positions. See Isolator Board settings, page 43.
5.
Optional: Close the loudspeaker.
Install a DC blocking capacitor in a loudspeaker
Use for installation option 2 only. See Installation option 2: Branch of loudspeakers connected
to an Isolator Board, page 23.
If an Isolator Board or DC Blocking Board is not used, a DC blocking capacitor must be
installed in each loudspeaker.
The capacitor should be an MKT or MKP type with a rating of at least 200 VDC, and should be
connected in series with the loudspeaker. The value of this capacitor depends on the load of
the loudspeaker and the desired frequency response. Typically for a full range speaker, 4,7 µF
is used for 10 watts, 47 µF is used for 100 watts. For horns the valve is lower. Preferably a DC
Blocking Board should be used.
Notice!
When using the PRS-4B125 amplifier in combination with the 10 watt permissible load
setting, the DC Blocking Board must be used.
Notice!
When the 100 watt jumper setting is used for the tap-off of the Isolator Board, the blocking
capacitor must have a value of at least 22 µF. The DC Blocking Board is not suitable for this.
Install an end-of-line resistor in a loudspeaker
For Installation option 2, connect a 47 kohm, > 0.5 watt resistor across the unused loop
terminal (X2) of the last DC Blocking Board in the branch.
Refer to DC Blocking Board, page 38.
