Frequently Asked Questions
Can you run a subwoofer off of the “Speakon Active Output” jack?
o
Answer: The SA-15T-PW was designed to power another 15” PA speaker that has equal
power watt ratings. It is not recommended to run another speaker that is rated more power
or is larger than the SA-15T-PW ratings.
How much Power does the “Speakon Active Output” jack send to a passive speaker?
o
Answer: The SA-15T-PW amplifier runs an 8 ohm load. When an 8 ohm passive speaker is
connected, the amplifier switches to 4 ohm and doubles the power.
How do I daisy chain other powered or active speakers?
o
Answer: You can daisy chain other powered speakers by using the XLR inputs and XLR
outputs on the SA-15T-PW speakers.
Why is my second SA-15T-PW speaker not working? I have one SA-15T-PW speaker connected to my
mixer with a ¼” cable and I have an XLR cable connected from the SA-15T-PW speaker 1 XLR output
to the XLR Input of SA-15T-PW speaker 2.
o
Answer: Daisy chaining the signal to a second SA-15T-PW speaker only works when you are
using the XLR jacks only for input and output.
What is the difference between the gain knob and volume knob? They seem to both do the same
thing.
o
Answer: The gain knob controls the level or strength of signal before the signal is amplified.
The gain setting determines how clean or dirty your sound is. The Volume knob controls the
power amp and the strength of the sound.
When I plug a microphone into the input jack, I can barely hear it, why is that?
o
Answer: The input jacks on the SA-15T-PW are not meant for line level microphones to be
connected. The signal from the microphone will not be hot enough. If you need to run a
microphone, it is recommended add a small sound board or mixer to your SA-15T-PW
speakers.
Will the XLR jacks pass through a signal if the speaker is turned off?
o
Answer: Yes, The XLR jacks do act as a pass through.
Can you use these speakers with an external power amplifier?
o
Answer: No, hooking an external power amplifier to these speakers will damage both the
built in amplifier and speakers.
