MP Series
Technomad MP Series are designed to be installed in a wide variety of
applications and environments. The MP Series includes the Vernal 15,
Vienna 16 and the Paris 616 loudspeakers.
Stand Mounting
Paris and Vienna loudspeakers feature T-nuts on the bottom of the cabi-
net for attaching 3rd-party bolt-on standmount adapters.
Flying & Bracket Mounting
WARNING: Suspending any object is a potentially dangerous and
should only be attempted by qualified individuals.
Paris and Vienna loudspeakers feature 5/16-18 T-nut inserts, one per side
for use with U brackets for flying or wall mounting.
Multi-position wall mounts
Paris and Vienna loudspeakers feature 4 x 1/4-20 T-nut inserts on the
center of the back of the cabinet for use with the Paris/Vienna bracket.
This hole pattern is also compatible with APC and Omnimount products.
Transformers
MP Series loudspeakers are available with an optional transformer for use
in 70 volt distributed systems. The multi-tap transformer is controlled with
a 5 position switch. Starting from the position the farthest counter-clock-
wise the Vernal T settings are as follows: a bypass setting allowing the
loudspeaker to operate in normal 8 ohm mode, then taps of 8w, 16w, 32w,
and 64w at 70v. Starting from the position the farthest counter-clockwise
the Vienna T and Paris T settings are as follows: a bypass setting allow-
ing the loudspeaker to operate in normal 8 ohm mode, then taps of 16w,
32w, 64w, and 128w at 70v.
Deployment- MP Series
Each Technomad loudspeaker cabinet features locking, weather-resistant
Neutrik Speak-On™ connectors. Neutrik jacks work with 2 conductor and
4 conductor wire. The Neutrik jacks have four internal connection points.
One pair is marked “1” and the second pair is marked “2”. When buying or
making Neutrik-terminated cables to interface with Technomad speakers, it is
important to observe the following:
• 1+/1- These are the in/out connections for full range units (Berlin 15/H,
Noho C, HF/MF of the Cairo 15/C, Paris 616 and Vienna 16.) & the Soho
12 subwoofer. In other subwoofer units, this pair simply passes full range
signal through the loudspeaker from one Speak-On™ to the other.
• 2+/2- These are the in/out connections for large subwoofer units
(Chicago 15/12, LF driver of the Cairo 15/C) In full range units, this pair
simply passes subwoofer signal from one Speak-On™ to the other.
The Soho 12 is a subwoofer, but it is wired to the “1” pair for ease of use.
Featuring an internal passive crossover, the Soho can be run from the
same signal as the Noho, reducing the number of cables & amp channels
needed.
The signal pass-through feature allows multiple speakers to be driven by
one amplifier. Each speaker can be daisy-chained from the previous unit.
This simplifies the cabling required for any multiple unit system. Through
use of a 4 conductor cable, two separate signals can be sent to the sys-
tem from two separate amplifier channels. This feature allows the opera-
tor to use a single cable to power both the full range and subwoofer
speakers in an array. Because both signals are passed to each connector,
subwoofer units and full range units can be run from the same cabling.
As long as the proper connections are made to the appropriate amplifier
channels (+1/-1 to the full range amplifier, +2/-2 to the subwoofer amplifi-
er), cabling is quick and easy to set up.
Caution should be used when daisy-chaining multiple loudspeakers from a
single amplifier. If the minimum load impedance for the amp is 4 ohms, a
maximum of 1 subwoofer or 2 full-range loudspeakers should be connected
in series. Remember, using four conductor wiring to connect two separate
amplifiers to a full-range and subwoofer combination does not drop the
load on the amplifiers - each amp is still seeing 8 or 4 ohms respectively.
Only if speakers of the same type (full-range or subwoofer) are daisy-
chained from the same amp is the load on the amp reduced. If a cable is
over 20’ long, 12 gauge wire is highly recommend to prevent signal degra-
dation.
