Why Speakon?

For amplifiers, the most popular termination device on profes-

sional products has been the dual banana (which incidentally was

pioneered by Crown with the DC300 model). However, recent

regulatory requirements in Europe have outlawed the use of the

dual banana plug and forced users to terminate speaker cables

with spade lugs or bare ends—an approach that is clearly not

advantageous to the customer who wants to reconfigure his system or quickly change

out a defective product. It is possible that similar regulatory controls will appear world-

wide over the next few years.

One solution to this problem is to use the Neutrik Speakon

connector. Here at Crown,

we wanted to develop a system for you that eliminated the need for specialized, time-

consuming, interface cables. The major loudspeaker manufacturers have been using

Speakon connectors for the input termination on their products for several years now,

so you can be assured of the connector’s reliability in the workplace. With Speakon

connectors, you can plug straight from the amp to the speaker, and start making those

great sounds right away.

The Speakon connector used on this amplifier meets all known safety regulations.

Once wired correctly, the connector cannot be plugged in backwards, causing the

type of inverted polarity situations that are common with banana hookups. It will pro-

vide a safe, secure and reliable method of interfacing your amplifier to the load.

pair of needle-nosed pliers and a

/16-inch Allen wrench or

a flat blade screw driver to assemble the Speakon

con-

nectors.

2.6—Check to make sure that adequate ventilation has

been provided. Even though this amplifier has some of

the most efficient heat sinks in the marketplace, it must be

able to breathe. So make sure that the front vents are

never blocked and that the exhaust fan (out the back) is

not blocked or covered by cables.

An amplifier running at high sound pressure levels into

low-impedance loads, will typically put out lots of hot air,

so make sure it can go somewhere.

If you are running your equipment in dusty or dirty environ-

ments, it is advisable to pre-filter the air using industrial

furnace filters. These filters can be taped or fastened to the

front of the equipment rack, ensuring a clean air supply

through a large surface area that will require minimum

maintenance.

2.7—Check once more to make sure the amplifier has

been set up correctly. Then follow the steps in the Opera-

tion section to operate the amplifier.

Cooling Tips

If you allow spaces between pieces of equipment in your rack,

make sure you block the front with blank, solid (not perforated) pan-

els. This will allow the rack to act as a chimney with hot air exhaust-

ing at the top, not recirculating between adjacent amplifiers.
