1) Wire size
2). Matching amplifier.
Application Guidelines
a). Carefully Monitored Application :
For carefully monitored applications, where the peak transient
capability must be maintained, the amplifier should be capable of delivering twice the continuous
power rating of the speaker. As an example, a speaker rated at 950 continuous watts can be safely
driven by an amplifier capable of 1900 watts power output.
b). Routine application:
For routine application where high continuous, but non-distorted output is likely
to encountered, the amplifier power rating should match the continuous power rating of the speaker.
To protect your system
a) Use adequate clean power to drive the system to required levels. Avoid
or overloading your
power amplifier & mixer.
clipping
b) Continuous Clipped Signals will destroy your speakers even when driven at low power.
c) Recognize and respect the known limits of your equipment.
d) Consider adding a peak limiter, such as the compressor/limiter to your system to electronically limit
potentially damping.
Please use cables of the correct guage in order to obtain optimum performance from your speaker system.
We recommend that your cable should be no smaller than 14 guage. For cables of length 100-250ft use
cables no smaller than 12 guage.
To get the maximum performance from your Fire 55 loudspeaker, Studiomaster Professional recommends
the following guidelines.
Note:
Each speaker connected in parallel increases the load on the amplifier and can
add up to a total load that may exceed the amplifier's capabilities, leading to
possible damage.
• Two 8
Ω
loud speakers in parallel make 4 total load.
Ω
• Four 8
Ω
parallel connected loud speakers make a total load of 2
Ω
,
which is too low for many amplifiers.
c).
Please ensure that the back firing ports are not blocked or covered, doing this will affect the bass
performance.
