The TL606DW can also be successfully oper-
ated away from any nearby acoustic bound-
aries, particularly when multiple systems are
used for increased output ability (see Use in
Multiples section).
SUSPENDING TL606DW ENCLOSURES
The TL606DW is designed for typical cinema
stage (behind-the-screen) applications where
low-frequency systems are mounted on plat-
forms, behind the screen and some distance
above the stage floor.
The TL606DW is not
designed to be self-suspended, and if sus-
pended, must be supported and hung in a
way which does not depand on the struc-
ture of the TL606DW itself for support.
The HS6 and HS7 kits allow the TL606DW to
be hung safely in a variety of orientations. The
combination of the correct HS kits and TL606DW
enclosure has been certified by an indepen-
dent structural engineer to be safe and secure.
Each HS kit consists of a steel tube, two
brackets, two eyebolts and the necessary fas-
teners. The installer must assemble the HS kit
by first drilling two holes into the TL606DW
enclosure, in predefined positions, and then
screwing the brackets onto the steel tube,
which passes through the enclosure. An eye-
bolt is inserted in the T-nut in the rear panel of
the enclosure to provide a pull up to aim the
enclosure. Full instructions and hole locations
are included with each cabinet and HS kit. A
TL606DW requires a single HS6 to suspend it
horizontally, or a single HS7 to suspend it
vertically. Electro-Voice recommends that only
one TL606DW be suspended at one time in this
manner. Vertical is defined as having the long
side vertical.
Full attention must be given to
the instructions and limitations in the HS kit
instruction sheet.
ACCESSORIES FOR SPECIAL SYSTEMS
The TL606DW was designed to be used with
Electro-Voice TransPlanar
TM
horns, DH series
compression drivers and accessories to form
passive, 500 Hz crossover systems that may
be easily and quickly assembled and installed.
A 500-Hz passive crossover, the XEQ-504,
directly replaces the TL606DWs input panel.
Mounting kits, the HMK-1 and HMK-2, provide
the necessary hardware and accessories to
mount the HP940/DH1A and HP9040/DH1A
horn/driver combinations, respectively, to the
TL606DW box. Steel threaded inserts are pro-
vided on the top panel of the box to accommo-
date mounting kits for both horn combinations.
ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS
SPECIFICATIONS
The loudspeaker system shall consist of two
380-mm (15-in.) very-low-frequency reproduc-
ers installed in a vented enclosure. The frame
of the reproducer shall be manufactured of cast
aluminum, and its magnetic assembly shall
utilize a ferrite magnet. In addition, an alumi-
num ring encircling both the voice coil and pole
piece shall act to reduce flux modulation. A
second aluminum ring mounted to the top of the
pole piece shall act as a control on drive
inductance and provide a heat-transfer path
from the top of the voice coil. The inner surface
of the top plate shall be coated with PROTEF
TM
,
a Teflon
®
-based coating used for prevention of
damage to the voice coil.

Performance specifications of a typical produc-
tion unit shall be as follows: measured sensitiv-
ity (SPL at 1 m on axis with 1 W input, swept
100-800 Hz) shall be at least 100 dB SPL;
usable frequency range shall extend from 30
Hz to 3,500 Hz; nominal impedance shall be 4
ohms; rated power handling capacity shall be
at least 800 watts, conforming to EIA standard
RS-426A.
The enclosure shall be solidly constructed of
19-mm (

-in.) stock with all joints tightly fitted
and glued. Overall dimensions shall be no
greater than 100.3 cm (39.5 in.) high by 57.2 cm
(22.5 in.) wide by 44.7 cm (17.6 in.) deep.
Finish shall be black vinyl with leatherette
pattern. An independently certified suspension
kit shall be available to suspend the TL606DW
horizontally (model HS6) or vertically (model
HS7). Internal
