1.5 Processing and Amplification
Only operate Tecnare loudspeaker with a correctly configured Tecnare preset. Tecnare
offer a complete solution that guarantees the highest level of performance. A complete range of
controllers, amplified and amplified controller with DSP are available to get this objective.
Otherwise, there is a risk of damaging the loudspeaker components.
1.5.1 Processing
There are two options using our digital controllers. Our DP2696 or DP4896 . The options
vary depending on the final application. Refer to DP2696 or DP4896 user manual.
Preset for DP Series processors have been developed for the V Series.
You may obtain the settings from the DP Series at

1.5.2 Amplification
To power V Series , Tecnare recommends amplifiers with the power ratings enough to
feed the loudspeakers. For high power or live applications, it is recommended to
oversize the amplifiers relative to the nominal AES output of the loudspeakers. A lower
power amplifier will not reduce the chances of driver damage due to over-excursion,
and may actually increase the risk of thermal damage due to sustained clipping.
In certain specific cases it is possible to slightly under-power the subs or loudspeakers
as long as the amplifier will not be driven to its limits.
In any case, the Tecnare processors should be deployed in front of the amp to ensure
that the amplifiers to not go into clip.
The
DP4896 processors also include:
- Virtual Xover Limiter for passive systems
- Thermal protection from power surges or overload
- Xmax Excursion displacement protection
The T20-44 amplifier is the ideal companion for maximum performance of the V Series
loudspeakers. This amplifier controller with DSP offer a complete both preset and
protection solution for any application.
