The Crest Audio LH
TM
4 is a low frequency reinforcement member of
the Crest LHTMseries. The design consists of two 18" high power
woofers in an optimized vented enclosure. The woofers are connected independently to allow ease of connection to separate amplifiers
utilizing the same source. Alternatively, the woofers can be connected in parallel with an external adapter.
The LH
TM
4 is constructed of very high quality 3/4", 7-ply all-poplar plywood, which is void-free, medium density, and warp-resistant. Side
feet for stacking enclosures horizontally are an additional feature. The
LH
TM
4 operated horizontally also provides a stable base for a polemounted, multi-way application. An internal socket accepts a stand
pole for a mid/high speaker such as the Crest Audio LHTM1 or LHTM3.
Integral rear casters allow easy load-unload for quick venue setup.
The LH
TM
4 cabinet is finished with Crest Audio’s durable black
Hammer-Head poly-coating. Polymer corners are also added to provide further protection to the cabinet. A black, powder-coated, heavygauge metal grill covers the entire front of the cabinet to protect the
low woofers from unforeseen impacts.

Power Handling
There are many different approaches to
power handling ratings. Crest Audio rates
this unit’s system power handling using a
modified form of the AES Standard 2-
1984. Utilizing audio band limited (20 Hz 20 kHz) pink noise with peaks over four
times the RMS level, this strenuous test
signal assures the user that every portion
of this system can withstand high impact
music. The test signal contains large
amounts of low frequency energy, effectively simulating the frequency content of
live music situations. High frequency test
signals expose the speaker system to
synthesized tones that may extend
beyond audibility. This rating is contingent
on having a minimum of 3 dB of amplifier
headroom available so as to ensure that
clipping does not occur.
Frequency Response
This measurement is useful in determining how accurately a given unit reproduces an input signal. The frequency
response of the LH4 (Figure 1) is measured at a distance of 1 meter using a 1
Watt (into the nominal impedance) sweptsine input signal.
Directivity
The polar response of the LH4 is essentially omni-directional at frequencies at
and below 200 Hertz.
