Understanding the Difference
2.1
THE SYNERGY HORN
The Synergy Horn successfully couples the radiation from multiple drivers into a single horn to yield the effective performance
of a single horn/driver system with high sensitivity excellent directivity control and a wide frequency response.
Section 3
Initial Set Up
3.1
What Size Amplifier to Use
Selecting the right amplifier for your loudspeaker depends on a variety of factors and uses. The owner is ultimately responsible
for choosing the best amplifier or amplifiers for the application. We recommend choosing an amp that is rated between the
continuous and program ratings. Please note “Continuous” does not mean “forever”! Most loudspeaker manufactures, including
Danley Sound Labs, subscribe to the AES standards for loudspeaker power ratings.
3.2
Connecting to the Synergy Horn
Your Danley loudspeaker has two NL4 (“speak-on”) connectors located on a panel on the rear of the box. With the exception of
the
SH96HO, SH46 and SM80M,
all SM and SH series loudspeakers are wired as passive. The NL4 connectors are wired
parallel.
