Ventus series
Setup
The Ventus self-powered series is designed for standing operation. Ensure that the loudspeakers are securely
attached to prevent personal injury and damage of property.
Connecting cables
When connecting the cables to the loudspeaker, ensure that the polarity (+/-) and pin assignment (1/2) is
correct. Incorrect connection results in a significant change in the loudspeaker sound characteristics and may
damage the compression driver.
The two connection sockets on the back of the loudspeaker can be used to link multiple loudspeakers on a
single amplifier. Note that parallel connection reduces the total impedance (Ω) seen by the amplifier. The total
impedance of loudspeakers connected in parallel must not drop below the minimum operating impedance of the
amplifier.
TENNAX recommends to use the available 4 x 4 mm² Speakon cables for mobile use.
We recommend wiring the basses with at least 4 mm² in installations. The cables of the tops in installations
must be sufficiently dimensioned according to impedance, power and cable length.

Operation
The 12“, 15“ and 18“ chassis of the Ventus-self-powered series are powered by one channel (2.600 W/ 8 Ω) of
the internal power amplifier module. 2 x 1,000 W/ 4 Ω are available for satellites or monitors.
The woofers are designed in 8 Ω.
A second Ventus and up to 4 additional loudspeakers can be fed from one Ventus-sp.
